philips-air

NodeJS library for controlling Philips Air Purifiers, based on work done by py-air-control.

Post Install Steps

If you are using CoAP or Plain CoAP:

1. Install pip and git using sudo apt install python3-pip git.
2. Install py-air-control using sudo pip3 install py-air-control.
3. Update CoAPthon3 using sudo pip3 install -U git+https://github.com/Tanganelli/CoAPthon3@89d5173.

Plain CoAP users only will also need to do:

1. Allow non-root to send pings using echo "net.ipv4.ping_group_range=0 1000" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf.
2. Update running sysctl configuration using sudo sysctl -p.

If you're only using HTTP, you can skip all of the post install steps.
