Install HomeGenie on RPi3 2017February Success

This is the install procedure that worked for me .......  2017m02d17
I am using a RaspBerry Pi 3A with the Raspian OS version 8 on it.

I originally tried to use the instructions provided at the HomeGenie website.... no joy  .... I believe there were several typos in the instructions.

I used the terminal app that comes  as part of the Raspbian package.  I typed in the following commands.  Some of these commands take a long time to complete. ( over 10 minutes )

 sudo apt-get update

 sudo apt-get upgrade

 sudo apt-get install mono-runtime

 wget https://github.com/genielabs/HomeGenie/releases/download/v1.1-beta.525/homegenie-beta_1.1.r525_all.deb

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install gdebi-core

sudo gdebi homegenie-beta_1.1.r525_all.deb

I have been using Class 10 SD cards ( both 8GB and 16 GB )

I want to thank the many people that I have gleaned information from off the internet.

Insulin Pen deconstruction disassembly How to hack

How to use a pen <== these links are not produced by me

I am fascinated  by these pens and how intricate they are.  They cost ~$70 retail and about $1 when paid for by insurance..... which is surely a scam of some sort.  I wanted to be able to reuse these pens .... reload them with insulin or black widow venom ( that last part is satire ) .

So far I have not had a brilliant idea of how to use these individual parts or how to refill the pen.



plastic melts very easily.  Ask me how I know.  I was using a small grinder.  Then I started using an Xacto blade.

There was a blemish here that I thought might pin some of the parts together , so I filed it.
