Smart Home Panel - FE repo

demo.mov

Background:

I wanted to build out a website to be able to control one of my smart bulbs in my home - instead of being reliant on the 'Smart Life' mobile app. This is the FE repo with the BE repo existing here.
Although, my solution works exactly as intended, arguably a far easier solution would be to buy a Raspberry Pi and install the Home Assistant OS on it. But hey ho, you live and learn.

Run npm install to install dependencies
Set the following environment variable as the url of the BE:
- REACT_APP_API_URL=http://localhost:{{PORT-NUM}}
Run npm run start to run the code

I decided to host the FE on Netlify as it's free 🤑
Netlify apparently has a CLI for easy deployment - though I haven't used this yet. Instead, I followed the flow on their website to be able to deploy from a GitHub repo - which was pretty straightforward.
Set the following environment variable as the url of the BE
- REACT_APP_API_URL=https://{{APP-NAME}}.herokuapp.com/
