About

Alohomora is a Docker Container that opens a door if movement is detected.

In other words, it watches a folder where a CFTV camera saves video files and, if a video is created, the container sends a command to open the door.

It works on a ControlID IDFlex. A few changes are necessary to make it work on other ControlID models.

Setup

Docker Compose

alohomora:
    image: gabrielrf/alohomora
    environment:
        - FOLDER=/
        - EXTENSION=mp4
        - DEVICE_IP=
        - LOGIN=admin
        - PASSWORD=
    restart: always
    volumes:
        - host_folder:container_folder

FOLDER: Folder that will be monitored by the script. In case of a folder tree, set the top-level folder.

EXTENSION: The extension of the file that should be sent. Usually mp4 is the case.

DEVICE_IP: The IP of the ControlID IDFlex.

LOGIN: Web user of the ControlID. Default admin.

PASSWORD: Password of the web user.

pip install inotify

Open alohomora.py and fill the variables FOLDER, EXTENSION, DEVICE_IP, LOGIN and PASSWORD.
