Required
Hardware
Raspberry
Pi – The
Raspberry Pi 3B+ &
Zero W have been tested, but it should also work on earlier
models
Optional – additional
sensors (See currently supported sensor’s above)
Install
Instructions
The
Installer script will automatically install and enable all required
modules and settings. It also
includes an
optional
install of
the Control Center program to manage up to 16
sensors
at
a time.
Step 1. Physically Install your
Sensor(s) onto the Raspberry Pi
Step 2. Install
Raspbian OS
Step 3. Make sure you are
connected to the Internet with your Pi, then run the following
command in a terminal to start the installer
wget
http://kootenay-networks.com/utils/koot_net_sensors/Installers/raspbian/install_update_kootnet-sensors_http.sh
&& sudo bash install_update_kootnet-sensors_http.sh
Near
the end of the installer, it will prompt for a username and password
to secure the web portal, used for interacting with the sensor. On
the sensor’s first launch, it will automatically create default
configuration files and SSL key/certificate to use with the Web
server.
If you wish to use your own SSL key/certificate, replace the SSL files located in /opt/kootnet-sensors/http_server/ssl_files/ with your version, using the same file names. If you need to generate new self signed keys, simply delete the SSL files and reboot the sensor; New 5 year self signed SSL files will be generated when the sensor starts back up.
It is recommended you login to the web portal and setup the configurations when the install script finishes, then reboot the sensor.
The default URL to access the web portal from the local sensor is https://localhost:10065
If you wish to access the web portal from another device on the same local network, simply replace “localhost” from the above URL with the IP of the sensor, such as this https://192.168.10.11:10065
The sensor’s IPs are shown in the terminal after
the install script finishes.
Uninstall
Sensor Software
This
will remove all sensor software and ask to remove
Kootnet
Sensors – Control Center (If
installed).
Sensor data &
logs are untouched.
sudo bash /home/kootnet_data/scripts/uninstall_kootnet-sensors.sh
