• init.d/ Init.d style Linux start up scripts
• python/ Main scripting library
• systemd/ Systemd (latest Raspian) start up scripts

python/tHome/eagle contains code for reading data directly from an Eagle energy monitor. Use bin/tHome-eagle.py to start a small web server and set the address as the "cloud provider" in the Eagle. The Eagle will publish energy data to the server which will converts it into a message and publishes that as a MQTT messages.
