+# Sentinel
+
+Home monitoring system running on a NodeMCU ESP8266 ESP-12F.
+
+The idea behind this project his to have a base system working on a standard
+microcontroller with communication capabilities.
+
+See the [Nidus](https://github.com/alexandrelamberty/nidus/) repository and the
+[Sentinel Api Spec](https://github.com/alexandrelamberty/sentinel-api)

+## Hardware
+
+The hardware I currently use is a 
+[NodeMCU Lua Amica Module V2 ESP8266 ESP-12FCP2102]() 
+micro-controller, a temperature sensor [DS18B20]() and temperature and
+pressure sensor [BMP180]().
+
+## Installation
+
+### Arduino 
+
+Open the Arduino Preferences <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>,</kbd> and in `Additional
+Boards Manager Urls`
+add the following one:
+```
+https://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
+```
+
+Open the Arduino Library Manager <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>I</kbd>
+and install the following packages:
+
+- ArduinoJson
+- ArduinoMqttClient
+- [BMP180_Breakout_Arduino_Library](https://github.com/sparkfun/BMP180_Breakout_Arduino_Library)
+- WiFiManager
+
+Upload the sketch
+
+
+## Configuration
+
+Connect the device to a power supply.
+
+Connect your phone to the new access point created by the device. It should be
+something like `sentinel-xxx`.
+
+Then access the device settings by navigating to http://192.168.4.1 and complete
+the setup.
+
+The device then will restart and will pair automatically with the server.
