• Check the configuration:
  • The period should be 300 (5m, in seconds)
    • > config
    • > period 300
  • The netid should be the same as the deployed network (1612 in Junin)
    • > mget netid
    • > mset netid 1612
  • The join duty cycle ?
    • > mget joindc

API Communication

• Clone SmartMeshSDK

  git clone https://github.com/dustcloud/smartmeshsdk.git

• Run the APIExplorer
  • install pip requirements (better with virtualenv)
  • cd smartmeshsdk/app/APIExplorer
  • python APIExplorer.py

Network Health

• Connect to the INTA VPN
• Connect to the Raspberry
  • ssh pi@peachpi.savethepeaches.com
• Attach to the serial screen

  screen -r serial
