MyController Web server for DIY home automation (Docker installation)

Recently I discovered an open source simple home automation web server. My requirement was to look for one which supports MySensors API. I found MyController and it works very well.

The best part about MyController user interface is that it can detect sensors automatically without any coding. In addition, it also allows user to modify the dashboard through the website.

Arduino Library
https://www.mysensors.org/

With these two software we can basically build a home automation solution.

*Bonus Installation
I created a guide for running MyController in docker. Feel free to take a look. The reason for me to use docker to run MyController is

• Docker helps me to handle porting MyController to a new rpi. ie works on a clean rpi without any java installed or other dependencies.
• Docker helps me to handle auto startup on boot.
• All other docker advantages.
