alarm_specific_methods.py

Today I've finished alarm_specifi_methods.py.

It only has two methods that should have the same name for any alarm-type. The first method receives the CAN data and has to parse it to a nice format. The other method extracts the right data given a sensor-adress. This sensor adress can be anything uniqe.

So when setting up an alarm:

1. you have to edit the details in user_data.txt:

email:xxx@xxx.xxx
mobile_phone:xxxxxxxxxx
wait_seconds_between_checks:0

2. then you create a txt-document for each data-value from the sensors:

sensor_address:Nod2,AN3
alarm_when:reach_threshhold
threshhold:00
action_1:email
email_content:PIR

3. The last thing is to edit alam_specific_methods.py. For this you need to know the basic system and python-language.

If a customer needs an alarm based on several sensor-values, alarm_specific_methods.py may need a class or global variables to keep track of data from other sensors.

If the hardware or communication protocols are different from what we use, CAN_communication.py and other files may need to change.

Tomorrow I will either focus on SMS, EMAIL, LOCAL SERVER to show data or trying to fix the broken part of the hardware. It depends on what the product owner wants.
