IoT-and-Blockchain

A simple IoT and Blockchain based application to demonstrate the use of blockchain in IoT.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Node.js
  • Python
  • Windows 8+ (for simulating GPIO pins on Windows), Raspberry Pi (for using actual GPIO pins)
  • Windows Build Tools - Only for Windows (Simulating GPIO pins on Windows)

Note: Windows Build Tools is required to install web3. Install through Powershell(Admin) if not installed already

npm install -g windows-build-tools

Steps

Before starting with app, you need to compile the smart contract and start a local blockchain. Follow the steps below to do so:

  1. Install required dependencies:
npm install
  1. Start a local blockchain using Hardhat:
npx hardhat node
  1. Compile contract in a separate terminal:
npx hardhat compile
  1. Install python dependencies and start the app:
pip install -r requirements.txt

python app.py

Open http://localhost:8000 in your browser to see the app and Interact with the IoT device.
