ReadMe Installation instructions incomplete / issues in installation #5

Open ukmoose opened 9 years ago

I love the concept, and tried to get it to install on a new raspberry pi. But I ran into some issues, some of which may be due to changes in the ionic framework beta versions.

Git clone instruction should it not be : https://github.com/denschu/home.pi.git ? Which then changes the cd directory...

The gulp install failed complaining of missing "gulp-util" which I had to install separately.

publish-config.sh requires mosquitto_pub to be installed (sudo apt-get install mosquito-clients ).

I can then start the webserver and get to the login screen where I can enter my MQTT details. But on successfully logging in I just get a blank screen.

The MQTT server shows a subscription to /# The webbrowser console log last entry is: Successfully logged in

I'm using your publish-config.sh but with my details for the mosquitto_pub command line which all check out. I can point a MQTT node in node-red at the MQTT topic and can read the config.

Any ideas?

Hello @ukmoose.

Did you manage to make it work ?

I tried to use the included mqtt lib to publish messages on MQTT but the broker doesn't receive the message.

Nope, given that author has not replied to any issue in a year and there has been no update I assume the project is effectively dead
