Frequently Asked Questions
How does 'CHome' work?
It uses the power of the Raspberry Pi to host a local server with is connected to 8 devices (chosen by you). Using your phone, you access this server and turn on or off those devices.
What do you mean by 'devices'?
Any electrical device that can be turned 'on' and 'off'.
How do I know if a device is 'on' or 'off?'
If the button is red, the device is 'off'. If the button is green, it's 'on'.
Despite what you've said, when the buttons is green, my device is off, what should I do?
Sync the device by disconnecting the device and turning it off manually.
Be sure when assembling to turn all devices 'off' before connecting.
We recommed using this software only to turn on or off devices.
What does History stands for?
Every action is found in 'history'. For exemple, you turned 'Coffe Machine' on Wednesday 7th of June 04:29:23 PM. In the history of 'Coffe Machine' it will appear 'Coffe Machine closed on Wednesday 7th of June 04:29:23 PM.'
Whoa, don't you think it's too detailted?
For security reasons, we've chose to keep it this way.
Can I clear the history data?
No. For security reasons, we've chose to not allow that.
What 'settings' stand for?
Settings is the place where you can customize 'CHome'.
How does 'change name' work?
It changes the name of the buttons from 'Home' page. The name can include max 20 caracters but has no min caracters. So you (or a troll) can enter name composed of no caracters. (That's why you can clear the history data)
