Node DSC Server

This is a front end server written in Node.js that talks to either the dscmod kernel module or an ESP8266 based WiFi module interfacing to the DSC KeyBus via a level shifter.

Features

• Virtual Keypad
• Email notifications for arm/disarm/alarm activation events
• Scheduler to arm/stay/disarm alarm with cron syntax

Setup (from the dsc-node directory)

• node.js 6.x or greater recommended and yarn
• Install the node dependencies using yarn install
• Generate assets using brunch build
  • This may require installing brunch which can be done with npm (yarn global add brunch)
  • If an error is presented during the brunch build regarding babel-preset-env then that may also need to be installed
• Modify default.json as appropriate or add in a production/development.json file into the config directory.
  • The dscserver section can have a mode of either socket or dev.
    • dev mode uses dscmod for its messages. The user running dsc-node requires access to the devices exposed by dscmod.
    • socket mode uses an ESP8266 accessible by the host running dsc-node
• run the server using yarn start

Acessing the server
