h3. What it is
31
32 17 Hammel
_*Ironman*_ is a do-it-yourself system, where you buy the parts and assemble them as described, modifying the provided code to suit your needs and handling flashing and maintenence.  _*Ironman*_ is designed to allow you to build your own home automation system where you specify the devices you want to control and how you want to control them.  
33 12 Hammel
34
h3. What it is not
35
36 17 Hammel
_*Ironman*_ is not a product.  It is not intended for anyone other than Makers (aka DIY'ers) who like to tinker and see not just how to assemble things but why they actually work.
37 12 Hammel
38 17 Hammel
While the Users Guide is intended to bring up a currently working version of _*Ironman*_ with limited sensor and camera support, if you aren't prepared to deal with writing code or flashing devices and dealing with electrical circuits then _*Ironman*_ is not for you.
39 10 Hammel
40 1 Hammel
h2. The Ironman Monitor
41 3 Hammel
42 17 Hammel
The _*Ironman*_ Monitor runs on a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3 and provides a central hub for management of home automation devices.  It uses a 7" touch screen display and a mechanical switch to manage pairing with IoT devices and Jarvis interfaces.
43 3 Hammel
44
h3. Installation Prerequisites
45 1 Hammel
46 11 Hammel
* A "Raspberry Pi 2 or 3":https://www.adafruit.com/product/3055
47
* The official "Raspberry Pi 7inch touchscreen display":https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13733
48
* The Pi 2/3 requires a "V / 2A power supply":https://www.adafruit.com/product/1994.  For best results, use a power supply rated to at least 5.25V to avoid under voltage conditions.  For ease of use the power supply cable should include an "on/off switch":https://www.adafruit.com/product/2379.
49 27 Hammel
* A keyboard is required for initial installation.  A "wireless keyboard":https://www.adafruit.com/product/922 should work as will a wired keyboard.  The keyboard will not be needed for normal operation but can be helpful in debugging.
50 3 Hammel
* The Pi 2/3 requires a microSD card that is at least 4GB.  A mechanism for using the SD card on your host system is needed, such as an SD card USB adapter or an SD port on your laptop.
51 32 Hammel
* A mechanical switch, such as a "SPDT":https://www.electronicshub.org/switches/#Single_Pole_Double_Throw_Switch_SPDT, should be connected to the Pi GPIOs to allow for pairing the Monitor with IoT Sensors and Jarvis interfaces.  The ASCII diagram below describes the setup. The LED is off in normal mode, lit in Config Mode, and off in Pair Mode until something tries to pair with the Pi which then turns on the LED for 3 seconds. Config and Pair mode operations ared discussed in later sections.  A Fritzing Diagram (attachment:IronmanMonitorSwitch.fzz) is available for this hardware component.

135
136 25 Hammel
The display should be as shown in the adjacent photo.  There are two network domains to configure, as described in the following table.
137
138
|_. Domain |_. Description |
139
| Internet Connection | This is how the Monitor will connect to your home network. |
140
| Sensors Network | This is how the Monitor will communicate with your IoT devices. |
141 22 Hammel
142 36 Hammel
After both networks are configured, power off the Monitor and set the Mode switch to Normal, then power the Monitor on.  The Monitor is now ready to use with IoT sensors, Jarvis and controllers.
143
144 1 Hammel
h3. Network configuration
145
146 34 Hammel
The Monitor's hardware supports WiFi B/G/N networks.  However, in order to use the Monitor as both a WiFi client on the local
147
network and as an Access Point for IoT devices, only G networks are supported by the Ironman software.
148
149
h4. Internet Connection
150
151
The Internet Connection domain configures the Monitor to connect to your local network.  
152
153
|_. Field |_. Description |
154
|Location |Unique name for this monitor, such as Bedroom or Office.  This name is used to identify monitors by name via commands from Jarvis or other remote controllers|
155
|SSID |Network name configured on your router for your local WiFi network. |
156
|Security | Type of security used on your router. Only WPA2 Personal and WPA2 Enterprise are currently supported. |
157
|Password | Your router's password, specifically for the SSID entered previously. |
158
159
The *Show Password* button will display the password typed in the Password field.  By default this button is not enabled, causing the Password field to be hidden using asterisks for each character.
160
161
h4. Sensor Network
162
163
The Sensor Network domain is used to configure the Monitor's private network used with IoT devices.  Data on this network is not routed to the Internet Connection and data from the Internet Connection domain are not routed to the Sensor Network.
164
165
|_. Field |_. Description |
166
|SSID |Network name for this private WiFi network. This name will be hidden on Wifi scans.|
167
|Channel | Channel to use.  Select a channel that has low use in your neighborhood.  Only a subset of channels on G networks are available.  This will be addressed in future releases. |
168
|Password | Password IoT devices should use to gain access to the specified SSID. |
169
|Static IP | An IP address to give the Monitor as it acts as an Access Point. This should be a Class C subnet for the network, which limits the number of IoT devices that can be managed by a single Monitor to 254. |
170
171
The *Show Password* button will display the password typed in the Password field.  By default this button is not enabled, causing the Password field to be hidden using asterisks for each character.
