Installation

Requires WiringPi-Python

git clone https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi-Python.git cd WiringPi-Python/ git submodule update --init sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev sudo apt-get install python-setuptools sudo python setup.py install 

Running

Needs to be run as root -

sudo python raspwitch.py --channel 1 --button 3 --gpio 8 on

When compiling today’s code form git repository gcc has problem finding wiringPi.h on my Raspbian wheezy:

CODE: SELECT ALL

WiringPi/wiringPi/piNes.c:25:22: fatal error: wiringPi.h: No such file or directory

You just need to edit piNes.c and change first include line into:

CODE: SELECT ALL

#include "wiringPi.h"

That fixes the problem.
