added some files

[DarylMc]

testing to see if i can upload some files keep them in a safe place and use wget to get them onto pi3 it's ok to say no i dont really know exactly what I am doing

@DarylMc be sure not to upload anything that's not open source -- ie. java, cgate.

[DarylMc]

oh dear i really don't know what i am doing they are the files like config.json, homebridge and homebridge.service i was having trouble using onedrive to download them with wget so i thought i might try here. hope i havent mucked anything up

[DarylMc]

if it is ok to put somewhere maybe it needs to be in a folder called called pi3 config files maybe just in my fork? im open to advice

[DarylMc]

the plan was to upload a bunch of generic zipped config files and try to automate the whole install with curl leaving just one or 2 files to manually edit. i know you have your own things going so if you say so im happy to just wait for that. The image I uploaded seems to be running really well. I haven't tried to kill it yet by dropping the LAN or CNI or power but it is looking good. Will do some of that tonight.

@DarylMc we should probably not put these zip files in the root of the project, just to avoid confusion on what they are for and how they work. Perhaps a PI3 folder with its own readme file is in order?

[simonhac]

loving your work @DarylMc. i'll get a chance to try it in the next few months. (just bought my first pi.)

the general philosophy of github/open source is going in the direction of small projects that do one thing.

as such, perhaps pi-homebridge-cbus-cgate might be better off as its own module? just a thought.

[anthonywebb]

Thinking about this some more and wondering if @simonhac is correct. Running CGate easy/solid on a PI3 is a great project in and of itself. Having the option for it also to be running homebridge for easy config and deployment would be very valuable. It probably is a big enough initiative that it deserves its own project, with its own issue tracking, etc. Then we could link from our readme to @DarylMc project.

@simonhac @anthonywebb I'm going to try to move the zip files but I am having trouble figuring out how to do it. Feel free to move any of it around or remove it. In the fork I added my file link to the wiki. The zip files can be found there anyway.

[DarylMc]

At this stage I am still struggling to comprehend the whole github environment and will keep working on my onedrive links until i can figure out a better way to do it.
