Description

This is the main program of the bot which is intended to run on a Raspberry Pi. But it can also run on every other computer with a linux operating system. The communication with the user is via Telegram and it can talk to different users with different access permissions. The main features are:

  1. Scraps the clever-tanken website for my current location which I can send to it via Telegram and draws graphs for the fuel prices in my hometown (folder: fuelprice).
  2. Scraps the power data from the Tesla Powerwall and saves them in csv files (folder: powerwall).
  3. Controls the IOT devices (currently only one microcontroller to control the window shades). The control requests can either come via Telegram or via gRPC from the Android app (folder: iot).
  4. Checks if my desktop computer is running with the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) and starts it with wake-on-lan (folder: wol).

Dependencies

  • python3
  • apt packages: sudo apt install libatlas-base-dev python3-scipy
  • pip packages: pip3 install telepot wakeonlan matplotlib pandas protobuf configparser

Create config files

Create the following files in the root directory of the project:

  1. Create a text file with the name secret which only holds ONE line with the access token for the bot.
  2. Create a bot.conf file which looks like the bot.conf.example file.

Usage with Docker

For easy setup, you can just pull the Docker image with the following command:

docker pull fabianhk/homebot

You have to mount a data folder and the configuration file with these options:

  1. -v "$PWD/data:/mnt/data"
  2. -v "$PWD/bot.conf:/workdir/bot/bot.conf"

Complete Docker run command:

docker run -p 80:80 \
 -v "$PWD/data:/mnt/data" \
 -v "$PWD/bot.conf:/workdir/bot/bot.conf" \
 -v "/etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro" \
 -v "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro" \
 fabianhk/homebot
