SMS to Log and Clustered Web Map
Takes SMS messages containing a postcode and a message and logs them in a database. Also displays colour coded clusters on Open Street Map. I have no idea whether this works on Windows, developed on Linux Mint and works pretty well on an old desktop, that's the 'idea'.
For the moment, find me @hughbarnard on Twitter for help. This is alpha-quality, so if you can improve that's welcome, also.
1. Needs Perl and Mojolicious also DBIx::Class, IO::Socket::IP, Socket, DBD::SQLite (it uses websockets to display data). All those via CPAN or apt install
2. Testing script that will need to be adapted for non-UK in sms_map/t use prove -lv
3. For UK needs to load status.db translate table with UK postcodes and long/lat via https://www.getthedata.com/open-postcode-geo. Non UK, YMMV if I find out I'll add
French data, here: https://adresse.data.gouv.fr/donnees-nationales
USA Data: https://gist.github.com/erichurst/7882666
4. For example, loading the table from csv
$ sqlite3 status.db
sqlite> .mode csv
sqlite> .import postcode.csv translate
sqlite> .exit
5. The SMS in this version is adapted to smsworks in Bristol UK: https://thesmsworks.co.uk, if Twilio or (locally) Gammu + dongle is used, a few adjustments need to be made, working on gammu at present
6. Adjust sms_map.conf to point to the database and other settings, see below
{
secrets => ['8e9f3991acb4f6a852e264bd1fa451c1a0c37b1a'],
db => '/var/lib/smsmap/status.db', Location of database
title => 'Newham Experimental Map', Title of Display
input_format => 'json', For json input otherwise POST params assumed
sms_convert => 'yes', Yes to convert input
sms_convert_key => { Keys for conversion of input fields
'from' => 'From',
'content' => 'Text',
},
country_code => 'uk', Switches the postcode parsing
log_level => 'warn', Mojolicious log level
identity => 'newham', Not used: Used later for pub/sub
start_latitude => 51.505, Map start
start_longitude => -0.09, Map start
web_socket_ip => '10.0.0.51:3000', Web socket address and port for map data
rabbitmq => 'no', Not used: Used later for pub/sub
log_path => '/var/log/smsmap/smsmap.log',Log path
hypnotoad => { Hypnotoad parameters
listen => ['http://*:8080'],
workers => 10,
pid_file => '/var/run/smsmap/hypnotoad.pid'
},
message_to_type => { Translation of message to type
'help' => 1, Changes marker colour too
'ill' => 2, Change this to suit your own application
'food' => 3,
'recovered' => 4,
'isolating' => 5,
},
}
7. morbo /usr/share/smsmap/script/sms_mapshould start listening and displaying on port 3000. Hypnotoad is preferable for production. Use NAT settings on the router to serve it to the outside
