Starting, restarting, and stopping services

Front door access is managed with 3 services, one for the RFID reader, an authorizer, and one to open the latch.

Note: see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8OnoxKotPQ

The services are managed with systemd. The driving service is the front_door_latch.service.

$ sudo systemctl start front_door_latch.service
$ sudo systemctl restart front_door_latch.service
$ sudo systemctl stop front_door_latch.service

The other services are front_door_rfid_reader.service and front_door_authorizer.service. They are bound to the front_door_latch.service and stop/restart/start as a group.

File Locations

Logs

Logging is in /var/log/queeriouslabs/acl.log

Access Control Data

required data for access control is in the data directory.

Adding and removing users from Access Control

Adding and removing users is managed via edited the rfids.csv file in the data directory. An interface will be built, but for now, add/remove/modify rows in the csv file.

Troubleshooting

Check the logs

$ less /var/logs/queeriouslabs/acl.log

Restart the services

$ sudo systemctl restart front_door_latch.service

If that doesn't work, check dmesg for errors related to USB devices

$ sudo dmesg -xT
