NestGen2.Host.Viewer (nest_gen2 v0.6.6)

Copy Markdown View Source

The Nest's screen in a browser, when running on a computer (target: :host).

Serves http://localhost:4000 with OTP's own web server (:inets), so it adds no dependencies. The page shows the screen as it is drawn and turns the ring with the mouse wheel or the arrow keys; click or press Space/Enter to press it. Buttons give a double click, a long press and someone walking past.

Config: host_viewer (default true), host_viewer_port (4000), host_viewer_ip ({127, 0, 0, 1}: only this computer; from another one, use an SSH tunnel, see docs/host.md) and host_viewer_controls (true; false makes it watch-only, for showing the app publicly: no buttons, every POST refused, and replies a cache in front may keep for a second).

Endpoints, for scripts and tests too:

  • GET /screen.png — the screen
  • GET /state — awake or asleep
  • POST /turn?deg=N, /step?dir=cw|ccw, /click, /double_click, /long_press, /motion, /climate?t=21.5&h=45
