IzControl

IzControl is an application that makes is possible to easily control appliances over the network using UDP, telnet and other protocols.

Example setup on Raspberry Pi

1. Download the Raspberry Imager tool and flash the SD card with the default Raspbian Image
2. Hook the Pi to a monitor and a keyboard.
3. Insert the SD card into the Raspberry Pi and power it up.
4. Go trough the setup (you can skip the network and language setups), then the system will reboot. For this example, the username will be control and the password raspicontrol
5. Open terminal to install desired software run the following

   sudo apt install nginx php-fpm composer git -y
   cd /var/www && sudo rm -rf html
   sudo git clone https://gitea.linkensphere.com/enzo/izcontrol.git html
   cd html
   sudo cp defaultconf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
   sudo chown -R www-data:www-data html
   sudo nginx -s reload
   

At this point, you should see the control panel on the local of Pi (run ifconfig to see the ip addres)

Optionally you can

• run the above in a remote shell, in order to to do this go to the start menu > Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration . Now click on Interfaces and click enable next to SSH and click OK .
• Remove the desktop environment, in Menu > Preferences > Raspberry Pi configuration > System > Boot, select To CLI, then reboot. The PI will use less memory. If you want to re-enable desktop, just run sudo raspi-config on the terminal and you can find it under system.
