Fast launch

Installation

Copy repository to your server:

git clone https://github.com/boboshko/zarya-assistant.git

Go to the folder with repository:

cd zarya-assistant

Install necessary packages:

npm install

Set up

Add necessary constants as environment variables. For instance:

export zaryaToken="2023094023:KLJF34djfkl3j498SDKDJSLK2asdk2945"
export zaryaWebhook="https://example.com/your/secret/paths/"
export zaryaWebhookPath="/your/secret/paths/"
export zaryaWebhookUse=true
export zaryaApiRequest="https://api.example.com/zarya/read/"
export zaryaApiAuthorization="Basic TG9naW46UGFzc3dvcmQ="
export zaryaAllowedUsers="[213949, 343909320]"

You also may set constants in the file app/config.js. For instance:

module.exports = {
  zaryaToken: process.env.zaryaToken || '2023094023:KLJF34djfkl3j498SDKDJSLK2asdk2945',
  zaryaWebhook: process.env.zaryaWebhook || 'https://example.com/your/secret/paths/',
  zaryaWebhookPath: process.env.zaryaWebhookPath || '/your/secret/paths/',
  zaryaWebhookUse: process.env.zaryaWebhookUse || true,
  zaryaApiRequest: process.env.zaryaApiRequest || 'https://api.example.com/zarya/read/',
  zaryaApiAuthorization: process.env.zaryaApiAuthorization || 'Basic TG9naW46UGFzc3dvcmQ=',
  zaryaAllowedUsers: process.env.zaryaAllowedUsers || '[213949, 343909320]',
};

Zarya ecosystem

Zarya is the open source ecosystem to collect, store, aggregate and display environment data at home. Besides Zarya Assistant, project includes:

• Zarya Meteostation — mateostation based on Iskra JS (Russian only). Represents the data originator. Collects and sends data to Zarya API.

• Zarya API — the API, allows to collect and send aggregated data, received from Zarya Meteostation.

  Instead of Zarya Meteostation, any other meteostation mwith the same sensors may be used. For instance, based on Arduino. In that case, it's needed to create the firmware for your platform yourself.

Acknowledgements

I want to express my thanks to the people who helped Zarya Assistant come into life:

• Daniil Yastremskiy — helped with the bot main code.
• Ksenia Mayorova — helped to localise the bot and translate documentation to English.
