==========================

This library provides a basic object interface for calling a the KAKU program to switch devices with the Raspberry Pi and a 433mhz transmitter.

A complete description of how to setup the KAKU program on the Raspberry Pi is found [here](http://weejewel.tweakblogs.net/blog/8665/lampen-schakelen-met-een-raspberry-pi.html) in Dutch.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The best way to add the library to your project is using [composer](http://getcomposer.org).

```
$ composer require rudidevries/kaku

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

For more information on setting up de SSH connection and authentication take a look at [herzult/php-ssh](https://github.com/Herzult/php-ssh).

The main principle is to setup an SSH connection, create a switch object, and give this object the channel to switch.

The command object should be passed the path to the kaku executable, as compiled from [this](https://www.dropbox.com/s/nxdrkuk94w9fpqo/lights.zip?dl=1) c++ code.

Example:

```
// SSH Connection setup
$config = new Ssh\Configuration($host);
$auth = new Ssh\Authentication\PublicKeyFile(
	$username,
	$pathToPublicKey,
	$pathToPrivateKey,
	$passPhrase
);
$session = new Ssh\Session($config, $auth);

// Create switcher
$command = new Kaku\Command\SshCommand(
	$session,
	'/path/to/kaku'
);
$switcher = new Kaku\Switcher($command);

// Create channel description
$channel = new Kaku\Channel(
	'description of switch point',
	'A',
	10
);

// Send signals
$switcher->sendOn($channel);
$switcher->sendOff($channel);

```

Symfony bundle
==============
