Pre-installed SW

The OS image you just uploaded into your unit also contains the preinstalled EVOK open-source software - an Unipi-developed application programming interface (API) for direct communication with Unipi hardware.

Also available is a practical demonstration of using the API in the form of a simple web application (Unipi Control Panel) serving as a user interface for all inputs and outputs on the unit. To access this interface, open your web browser and enter the IP address of your unit with the port number :80. Port number is optional, as it is the default webserver port.

For example:

192.168.1.10

or

192.168.1.10:80

The application's interface looks like this:

Another software included in the disk image, which is now also uploaded in your unit, is Node-RED. It is an open-source programming tool for connecting hardware devices, various APIs or online services. In this case, the Node-RED software already contains the EVOK API. This API is represented by a pair of nodes in the left panel, section Unipi - unipi input and unipi output made to control both analog and digital inputs and outputs.
