## WiFi Power

If you are using a Raspberry Pi with WiFi, you will likely want
|
||||
to disable WiFi Power saving. Under Raspberry Pi OS, so the following.
|

|

### Startup service in systemd
|
||||
|
||||
To manage to start programs you should use systemd Unit files.
|
||||
|
||||
File name: /etc/systemd/system/wlan0pwr.service
|
||||
|
||||
You can edit the file using the systemd edit:
|
||||
|
||||
rpi ~$ sudo systemctl --full --force edit wlan0pwr.service
|
||||
|
||||
In the empty editor insert these statements, save them and quit the editor:
|
||||
|
||||
[Unit]
|
||||
Description=Disable wlan0 powersave
|
||||
After=network-online.target
|
||||
Wants=network-online.target
|
||||
|
||||
[Service]
|
||||
Type=oneshot
|
||||
ExecStart=/sbin/iw wlan0 set power_save off
|
||||
|
||||
[Install]
|
||||
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
||||
|
||||
Enable the new service with:
|
||||
|
||||
rpi ~$ sudo systemctl enable wlan0pwr.service
|
||||

||||
## Building the Blinkt! BACnet Application

## Running the Blinkt! BACnet Application

||||
|
||||
## Blinkt! as a Startup service with systemd
|
||||
|
||||
To manage to start programs you should use systemd Unit files.
|
||||
Here is a very simple template you can use to start to solve your problem.
|
||||
Create a new service with:
|
||||
|
||||
rpi ~$ sudo systemctl --full --force edit bacnet.service
|
||||
|
||||
In the empty editor insert these statements, save them and quit the editor:
|
||||
|
||||
[Unit]
|
||||
Description=BACnet Service
|
||||
After=network-online.target
|
||||
|
||||
[Service]
|
||||
ExecStart=/home/pi/bacnet.sh
|
||||
|
||||
[Install]
|
||||
WantedBy=network-online.target
|
||||
|
||||
Enable the new service after the next reboot with:
|
||||
|
||||
rpi ~$ sudo systemctl enable bacnet.service
|
||||
|
||||
Create your bacnet.sh shell script in your home folder (change from pi if
|
||||
that is not your home folder). Use the shell script to set any environment
|
||||
variables that you want, or configuration settings for the bin/bacblinkt
|
||||
application such as a specific device ID.
|
||||
|
||||
A simplistic bacnet.sh script will look like this (with stdout/stderr to /dev/null):
|
||||
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
/home/pi/bacnet-stack/bin/bacblinkt 9009 > /dev/null 2>&1
