To install clone this repository using the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/orcas-internet/smarter_power_point.git

First of all you have to configure your Fritz!DECT connection. To do this simply go into service folder, create a copy of config.dist.js and name it config.js and then adapt the configuration keys to your needs.

$ cd service
$ cp config.dist.js config.js
$ vi config.js

To install the nodeJS-Service run the following commands from the repository root directory (we assume, that nodeJS and npm are installed on your system and available from the commandline):

$ npm install
$ npm run service

That is only necessary, if the chrome extension should be installed on other host as repository. Follow these steps and start in repository root directory:

$ cd chrome
$ ./tar.sh

This command has created a tar.gz-File in service folder. If you now visit the index page of your service, e.g. http://localhost:3001/ you should be able to download the file.

To install the chrome extension go to chrome://extensions, switch on the developer mode, use "Load unpacked extension" and choose folder chrome/app from the repository or the downloaded and unpacked extension. When your extension was loaded, you can open a popup by simply clicking on new icon "orcas Smarter Power Point" in chrome toolbar.

Now insert the url of the nodeJS web-service (e.g. http://localhost:3001/) and click on "Update".

To add a new device right-click the extension icon and choose 'options'. Now login with the credentials you provided in the service configuration (default -> user: admin, password: 1234).
