RoomStateSensor-Management

Explanation:

This project was made for one reason: to notify my rommmate about my availability. I built an easy circuit using Elegoo Uno and several sensors and thought to present it to my teacher as an cplusplus project, which later on was declined as it is. Teacher, on the other hand suggested to add several features to it, so it would be acceptable for the particular course.

Features:

Controller side:

User has for states of a room: Busy;Home;Come;Away (Can be found in the file)
Each state is controllable with a button included in the circuit

When the button is pressed, it communicates with a Counter class, which has an overflow feature making it really scalable for more states added in future.

Indicator LED of a particular state for tail-end with a button
Indicating the current tempreature and humidity

Computer side:

Reading the change of the state coming from an Arduino connected via USB
Loading your configuration XML file, see example here
Logging the state change during the program is running, see example here //add later
Sending the log file after closing the program with a telegram bot NOT IMPLEMENTED

Communication:

Running the program on a computer will read the configuration file and check if it is valid. In case the Controller is connected to Computer, the Computer will send a # message to Controller, if the Controller is able to read the signal, it will respond to the Computer. Computer will create a new LOG_FL (if user doesn't have one already) with a configuration data and will document the activity until the program is stopped manually or just exitted the readMode.

Choice	Functionality
Show LOG_FL	Show records
Go in Read mode	Logging the activity to the file every time the state changes.
Run device without reading	Running the device without reading
Erase LOG_FL	Deletes the LOG_FL
Exit	Exits the program

Go in Read mode Can't be entered without a configuration. If configuration file does not exit, program sets default values. The > first thing, it runs initDATA() and only then starts the infiniteRead():

  while (future.wait_for(chrono::milliseconds(1)) == future_status::timeout) {
        return_char = read(file_dest, &data_buff, 1);
        if (return_char != 0) {
            data_tof.push_back(data_buff);
            if(data_buff == ';'){
                RSS_Parser pcr;
                if (pcr.all_data(data_tof)){
                    data_tof.erase();
                    log << "State: {" << pcr.getState()
                    << "} Temp: {" << pcr.getTemp() <<
                    "C°} Humid: {" << pcr.getHumid() <<
                    "%} at: "<< pcr.getTime() <<endl;
                }
            }
        }

    }

Mode can be ended with a press of 'q' character. The scanning is being run on a detached thread.

RSS_Parser.cpp class is made only for validating the data incoming from Microcontroller, since the incoming format is:

#[state]#[temp]#[humid];.

SP.cpp class is made out using the library SerialPort linked below and modified it to a class with own functionality.
