Homex Nerves Example

An example Nerves project for the homex Elixir library

It uses the followind sensors/actuators:

• BME680 weather sensor
• SGP30 air quality sensor
• Relay

The followind entities are automatically created in Home Assistant:

• Temperature
• Humidity
• Pressure
• CO2
• TVOC
• Switch

Usage

Edit the :homex config in target.exs to point the broker configuration to the correct IP address in your network. Set up Home Assistant to use the same MQTT broker.

Targets

Nerves applications produce images for hardware targets based on the MIX_TARGET environment variable. If MIX_TARGET is unset, mix builds an image that runs on the host (e.g., your laptop). This is useful for executing logic tests, running utilities, and debugging. Other targets are represented by a short name like rpi3 that maps to a Nerves system image for that platform. All of this logic is in the generated mix.exs and may be customized. For more information about targets see:

Getting Started

To start your Nerves app:

• export MIX_TARGET=my_target or prefix every command with MIX_TARGET=my_target. For example, MIX_TARGET=rpi3
• Install dependencies with mix deps.get
• Create firmware with mix firmware
• Burn to an SD card with mix burn
