Presence

The presence agent for Zeus. This detects user presence by listening for sound and doing motion detection and face detection.

Prerequisites

• node v0.10
• bunyan for pretty printing logs.
• Python 2 installed and on your path

Installation

Clone the repo, cd into it and run npm install.

Run

$ node index.js --logfile presence.log 2>&1 | bunyan

Caveats

• presence uses the Open CV library to do motion detection and face detection from your webcam's stream. This is quite CPU intensive at the moment.
• presence also listens on the microphone stream for sound above a certain threshold. This may cause issues with other applications trying to use your mic.
