JEFF the Digital Butler

About JEFF

For more information about JEFF, please visit http://www.jeff-it.co/.

On the weekend of 23rd to 25th January 2015, I participated to "Seedhack IoT", a hackaton on the Internet of Things organized by Seedcamp @ Google Campus London (http://www.seedhack.com/).

This code was developed during the hackaton to implement the brain of JEFF, our "digital butler" project.

JEFF would collect environmental data from several sensors connected to a Smartables board (http://smartables.io/), then a worker role in Azure would process the data, store it on a remote MongoDB instance (on MongoLab), then send back some commands (e.g. to open a window if the temperature is too high).

Projects details

Project	Description
JEFF.Models	Entities for the MongoDB instance
JEFF.DataAccess	DB context and repository for the MongoDB instance
JEFF.Dto	Request and repsonse POCOs to communicate with REST APIs (Smartables)
JEFF.GreenHouseController	JEFF's brain (aka implementation of the Azure Worker Role)
JEFF.Cloud	Azure Cloud Service project used to deploy the GreenHouseController
JEFF.Portal	ASP.MVC application used to visualise trends of sensor data stored in the MongodDB instance
Pebble files	Source files for your Pebble Watch to display one sensor's data directly from the Smartables REST API

Requirements

All dependencies should be available as NuGet packages, however you will need to have Visual Studio 2013 + Azure SDK installed in order to open all the projects.

Tests

Regretfully there are no unit tests on this project, mainly due to the fact that we only had a couple of days to hack the whole thing together and present it to a jury.
