Installation and Configuration

Installation of NodeJS and [thing-it-node]

First, install nodejs on your computer (e.g. your PC or your Raspberry Pi).

Then install [thing-it-node] via

npm install -g thing-it-node

Initialization and Start of [thing-it-node]

The [thing-it-device-google-ip] Plugin is installed with [thing-it-node], hence there is no need to install it separately.

The Plugin supports Autodiscovery, hence you only have to create a directory in which you intend to run the configuration, e.g.

mkdir ~/google-test
cd ~/google-test

and invoke

tin init

and then start [thing-it-node] via

tin run

google Device Setup

As Auto-discovery is not in place yet, you will have to configure the connected Devices manually as e.g. in the sample configuration.

Mobile UI

The following screenshot shows the Devices in sample configuration:
