LamPI Backend

Apart from the GUI interface, on the backend there are some other programs active that interact with home automation switches in our house. Backend services are provided by the LamPI-node.js process and located in the ~ directory. Some supporting executables are located in the ~/exe directory, especially as these need root privileges to run I put them all in a separate location.

• LamPI-node.js (see directory ~)
• Command-Line Interface (see directory ~/exe) for sensors, transmitters and receiver
• LamPI-receiver (see directory ~/exe)
• LamPI-arduino (see directory ~/exe) for USB connected Arduino Gateways
