Great project. Just got it working. I have an Edimax 7811 module which of course didn't work being realtek based. I tried Paul's alternative hostapd and couldn't get joy out of that either. Eventually I found this one <a href="http://www.jenssegers.be/blog/43/Realtek-RTL8188-based-access-point-on-Raspberry-Pi" rel="nofollow">http://www.jenssegers.be/blog/43/Realtek-RTL8188-based-acces...</a> and it worked OK.<p>Also as already pointed out the missing CherryPy module need sorting out. YOu could add instructions of where to get it and how to install it for those who don't know

I like it! Although why would I use it over building a simple webapp hosted on the Pi by using existing server-side technologies such as Flask, Rails etc..

Can someone please give me some instructions on how to set PiUi u without turning the Pi into a access point? I installed Nginx and followed the do-it-yourself instructions from "Configure nginx". Everything is installed and the piui_demo.py works without errors. However, when I type in the IP of the Pi, I only see the "Welcome Screen" from nginx. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks

Does the phone have to be on the same WiFi network to connect to the <a href="http://piui/" rel="nofollow">http://piui/</a>? More specifically, if the pi is running at my house and is connected to my home WiFi, can I run the UI from my phone while at my office over a different WiFi or over 4G?

Hmm, this does seem pretty nifty. I've never heard of making a device "support" WiFi by appearing as an access point. That seems to offer some huge advantages over making the user configure their device to connect to an existing network. It's almost like Bluetooth 4.0 meets WiFi.

Cool!<p>&#62; There’s even an Android app to make connecting easy and show useful status info plus an iPhone webapp you can save to your homescreen.<p>What does the Android app do to show useful status information? Can we expect an iPhone version in the future too?

Works great but:- 1) How do I stop the verbose on screen reporting (I use SSH) 2) How do I stop it once it is running - CTRL+C does not work and kill only sometimes works 3) Is there any documentation or more examples please Thanks

Hi, got a problem with toggles. I dont understand the code 100% If a toggle has the status "On" i would like to send an OS Command like os.system("send 11111 1 0") to toggle an 433 MHz Switch Unit. How do i do this?<p>Thanx Stefan

I ssh into the rpi from my Nokia N900 (has a hardware keyboard), and have a little text based python interface for controlling my heating. KISS.

Following manual setup instructions, with raspbian, you end up with 'ImportError: No module named cherrypy' when calling the demo script

So one could build a Pi project that was controlled by the interface on a iOS or Android phone? That's awesome!

This is pretty neat! How would I go about porting this over/ implementing something similar on the BeagleBoard?

How fast is nginx at executing the python code? (What's the typical UI response time?)
