Goal:

• Like ESPEasy a web configurable IoT device
• Usage of IoT devices by hobbyists without progrmming expirence
• Adding plugins with low/mid level Python knowlage
• Append plugins by community (GitHub)
• Open source

Platform:

• RaspberryPi, \*Pi (initially planned)
• PC (for development and debugging)
• ESP32
• PyBoard ?
• ~~ESP8266~~ too less memory
• Other platforms running MicroPython with 100 kByte free RAM (`gc.mem_free()`)

Programming Lanuage:

• Hybrid-Python to fit all platforms:
  • CPython 3.4.x (or higher) for Raspberry Pi and PC
  • MicroPython 1.9.4 (or higher) for ESP32 and PyBoard

User GUI:

• Web server front end on the platform based on the project [MicroWebSrc](https://github.com/jczic/MicroWebSrv) which is already in Hybrid-Python

User CLI:

• All funcionalitys are accessable by a command line interface via HTTP GET request, web page (HTML form), Telnet, …

Plugin system:

• Easiely extend by anyone
• Unloadable plugins (import fails) are dismissed and don't affect other plugins
• If nessecary intall with reduced plugin count

• Gadget-plugins:
  • Interface to hardware sensors and actuators
  • Deliver variables/measurements (e.g. temperature, switch on/off, …) to active gateway-plugins, rules, web interface, …
  • Each gadget has its own partial web page form for configuration
  • A gadget plugin can be instanciated multiple times (e.g. many temperature sensors of same type)

• Gateway-plugins:
  • Interface to external servers and brokers
  • Consume variables/measurements (e.g. temperature, switch on/off, …) and deliver them to the configured server (e.g. MQTT, HTTP, Socket, InfluxDB, …)
  • Can also support hardware access to transmission modules (e.g. LoRaWan, Philips Hue, …)
  • Each gateway has its own partial web page form for configuration
  • A gateway can be instanciated multiple times

• Command-plugins:
  • Extend cli with additional commands

• rule-plugins:
  • Add rules to react on new measurements and call cli commands or set the values of other variable
  • Each rule has its own partial web page form for configuration

• web-plugins:
  • Extend web front end with additional pages

Front-end-Languages:

• Initial: English
• Later: localisation
