Features
eGeoffrey brings in a modern architecture and a number of unique, slick features.
Modular
eGeoffrey is made up of different, independent components called "modules". Since they are communicating through a shared message bus, they can live everywhere, in a small Raspberry Pi or in a powerful server. They do not even need to run on the same machine: as far they connect to the same bus and can talk, they just works, in a completely transparent way for the user.
Portable
An eGeoffrey module is packaged and delivered as a Docker container, isolating each component from the others thus bundling applications, tools and required libraries in a portable solution. Don't worry you don't need to know anything about Docker, eGoeffrey's abstracts any complexity of the underlying system!
Modern Web Interface
eGeoffrey's GUI can be fully customized by the user and is the easiest and simplest way to configure your eGeoffrey's instance, register new sensors, view your data, control your actuators, configure rules which will trigger one or more notification upon specific conditions.
