Getting Started

The high level task list is:

1. Buy the necessary kit (this code assumes a Raspberry Pi and special Radio module, at least) - see Parts List.
2. Setup your RPi with a SD Card to boot from, and I recommend remote access via SSH - see Initial Raspberry Pi Setup. You can skip if you already have a suitable RPi with 40-pin header.
3. Do some specific setup on the RPi that this project needs - Python3, enabling RPi communication buses, direnv, prometheus and grafana - see Completing the Raspberry Pi Setup.
4. Reprogram any OpenTRVs/Radbots with a new encryption key so you can receive their messages - see Reprogramming Radbot TRVs
5. Add the Radio module and Antenna to the RPi - see Assembling the Radio
6. Configure and install the heatmon service - see Running heatmon
7. Check the service & observe logs - see Installing heatmon as a service
8. Check the Prometheus and Grafana systems are working - see Viewing metric graphs

Finally, see a note on Performance and long term storage.
