"A small metal object that jingles."

— A definition for the Finnish word "kilke".

Kilke is an IOT platform for reading and visualising sensor data and to automatically control certain laboratory devices (e.g. pumps) based on the sensor outputs. The platform was developed for a research project which purpose was to extract valuable minerals from mining wastewater. Its architecture consists of five components, which can be found in the packages directory.

1. Install Docker
2. Run docker-compose up
3. Once db and api services are running, run the migrations by running docker-compose exec api yarn migrate:latest
4. (Optional) Create a system by calling the API with the following request:

curl -d '{"name": "System"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/v1/systems

After the setup is done, the client should be available at http://localhost:8080/.

You can override each package's configuration in the .env file within package's directory (e.g. packages/api/.env). Note that some of these changes (such as ports) require altering the Dockerfiles and docker-compose.yml file as well.

System configuration format:

{
  sensors: {
    [string]: { // key for the sensor
      title: string,
      subtitle: string,
      decimals: number, // how many decimals are used to display measurements
      reactorTitle: string, // title showed in the reactor view
      unit: {
        unit: string, // unit short name, such as "RPM"
        title: string, // unit long name, such as "Temperature"
      },
      calibration: {
        x1: number,
        x2: number,
        y1: number,
        y2: number,
      },
    },
  },
  pumps: {
    [string]: { // key for the pump
      title: string,
      subtitle: string,
    },
  },
  binarySensors: {
    [string]: {
      title: string,
      subtitle: string,
      reactorTitle: string,
    },
  },
  visualization: {
    tabs: Array<{
      title: string,
      sensors: Array<string>, // array of sensor keys
    }>,
  },
  reactor: {
    pumps: Array<string>, // pump keys
    sensors: Array<string>, // sensor keys
    binarySensors: Array<string>, // binary sensor keys
  }
}

Run docker-compose logs <service> where <service> is the target service. E.g. docker-compose logs system-reader

Once containers are running after running docker-compose up, you can access the database container by running docker-compose exec db /bin/bash. Once connected to the database container you can access the database from terminal by running the command:

psql -U postgres -d kilke
