This software brings the home/industrial automation experience to Linux SBCs easily. Originally developed for Rock Pi S & NanoPi-NEO & OrangePi-Zero boards.
- OrangePi Zero [WiringOP supported]
- Raspberry Pi [Untested] [Sysfs supported]
- NanoPi-NEO [WiringNP supported]
- Rock Pi S [Sysfs supported]
For a long time, I was researching about a good automation platform for Linux boards. I couldn't find one, but I built one. System exposes a web interface which is very intuitive through a default port of 80. Multiple board instances can be controlled through one web interface by IP addresses. This system is also intended to be compatible with other automation softwares such as Home Assistant; for this purpose, I also exposed an HTTP API -documentation is TBA- interface.
The whole system is based on NodeJS & SocketIO technologies. The back-end & front-end codes are completely separate through the SocketIO API. When a board address is entered through the web interface, the client-side Javascript code sends a SocketIO connection request to that hostname and gathers information about that board.
Download the latest online bash installation script through the releases page.
$ sudo bash auto_install.sh
This script is going to install NodeJS & other dependencies the system needs automatically. You can run it on a bare board installation.
When the installation process finishes, the system will be up and running as a Systemd service named "realtimeio". Systemd service will be automatically started up when the server boots up.

| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| systemctl start realtimeio | Starts the system instance. |
| systemctl stop realtimeio | Stops the system instance. |
| systemctl status realtimeio | Shows the current status of the system. |
| systemctl enable realtimeio | Starts the system on server bootup. |
| systemctl disable realtimeio | Doesn't start the system on server bootup. |
| Path | Method | Description |
|---|---|---|
| /getconf | GET | Returns the current configuration data. |
| /link/:input_num/:output_num | GET | Link input pin to an output pin. |
| /unlink/:pin_num | GET | Unlink an input or output pin. |
| /rename-board/:name | GET | Rename the board. |
| /rename/:pin_num/:name | GET | Rename a pin. |
| /remove/:pin | GET | Remove a pin from system. |
| /set/:pin_num/:state | GET | Change the state of an output pin. State can be "on" or "off". |
| /get/:pin_num? | GET | Returns the state of the specified pin. If no parameter has sent, returns all the pin state data as JSON. |
| /add/:pin/:pin_direction/:timeout? | GET | Add a new pin to system. Timeout is optional. Direction can be "monostable" (Set timeout), "bistable", "as output" or "as input". |
| /data | GET | Returns the current board data as XML. |
The more detailed explanation will be added later.
