A NodeJS Motion detector, initially aimed for Raspberry Pi.
The Motion Detectors detect changes in the Environment and the Notifiers receive the Motion Detectors' event changes.
NOTE: this code has only been tested in the following Linux OS:
- Raspbian: using Node ARMv7
- OSX: Tests and code runs / works where no real sensors are involved
*
* STEP 1 : Create your config.js file and define the default profile of your app:
```
profiles = {
default: {
Environment: {},
PIRMotionDetector: {
pin: 17
},
MotionDetector: [{
name: "MD 1"
},
{
name: "MD 2"
}],
SlackNotifier: {
name: "My Slack channel",
key: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/"
},
HighPassFilter: [{
val : 8,
applyTo: "MD 1"
},
{
val : 5,
applyTo: "MD 2"
}]
}
}

exports.profiles = profiles;
exports.default = profiles.default;
``
* STEP 2 : Add your main file
``
let md = require('t-motion-detector');
let config = new md.Config(__dirname + '/config.js', false);

md.StartWithConfig(config, (e,d,n,f)=>{
console.log(Good to go! My environment is ${e}, detectors are ${d}, notifiers ${n} and filters ${f});
});
``

#### PIRMotionDetector


``
//Sends a Slack message if the PIR sensor detects movement
profiles = {
default: {
Environment: {},
PIRMotionDetector: {
pin: 4
},
SlackNotifier: {
name: "My Slack channel",
key: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/"
}
}
}
exports.profiles = profiles;
exports.default = profiles.default;
``
#### FileDetector


``
//Sends a Slack message if any file is added, removed or changed in the "photos" folder
profiles = {
default: {
Environment: {},
FileDetector: {
name: "File Detector",
path: "photos",
sendOld: false
},
SlackNotifier: {
name: "My Slack channel",
key: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/"
}
}
}
exports.profiles = profiles;
exports.default = profiles.default;
``

From version 0.3.3 onwards, it is possible to attach a Notifier based on node-raspistill,
RaspistillNotifier, which means you can use your Raspberry pi camera to take pictures when
movement is detected. Here's an example which takes a snapshot once the Raspberry pi detects
movement via the PIRMotionDetector connected to pin 17 (requires a sensor like the Infrared
motion sensor HC-SR501):
``
let md = require('t-motion-detector');

let env = new md.Entities.Environment();
initialMD = new md.Extensions.PIRMotionDetector(17); //Rpi listens on pin 17 for incoming signals from the PIR sensor
md.Start({
environment: env,
initialMotionDetector: initialMD
});

camNotifier = new md.Extensions.RaspistillNotifier();
md.AddNotifier(camNotifier); //Rpi will take a picture if the PIR sensor detects movement
```

*
Unit tests:
t-motion-detector uses mocha unit tests to test the detector, notifier and environment classes. I'll be adding more on the go. to test use "npm test"
