Doorlock that can be locked or unlocked through your smartphone

You’ll want to make sure you have node.js installed on your Raspberry Pi. Adafruit has a nice guide on their website.

If running on Jessie Lite, install pigpio:

sudo apt-get install pigpio

Navigate to the folder you want to clone the repository and type

git clone https://github.com/HackerHouseYT/Smartphone-Doorlock.git

Once done cloning, navigate into the folder.

cd Smartphone-Doorlock

Install the dependencies (if it fails, delete node_modules and retry without sudo)

sudo npm install

Add the Blynk auth token by opening up the doorlock.js file and replacing the blynkToken variable.

vim doorlock.js

Scroll down, press i to edit in vim, and replace the token between the single quotes. Press esc then type :wq to save and quit.

sudo node doorlock.js starts the program.

To run at startup, you can add the start command to your rc.local.

Type pwd to get your current directory. I highlighted this and copied it with control-c.

Edit the rc.local file with vim.

sudo vim /etc/rc.local

Press i, then scroll down and add sudo node <Your Directory From pwd>/doorlock.js

Press esc, then type :wq! to save and exit. Restart the Pi to start the program.
