That being said, everything what I will describe here can be also done with a cheap laptop running Linux, if you fancy that. Also, it's much easier to take it with you while you travel. If you're like me and use it as a hub that you connect to from various devices, then it's just much easier to find a place for it at home where it will not ruin the aesthetics. If you put it in a case it's more like a PowerBank. You can certainly do that, but I think the Pi is much more practical. Why not just buy and old laptop running Linux and use that instead? You can use any module and schedule scripts to run fully automatically, whenever you like. This is not possible due to iOS's locked down architecture. One example is Selenium, which can create virtual browser instances in the background, visit websites and take actions on them. Second, you can't take advantage of some of the more advanced modules. You can trigger them by time or location, but you will have to unlock your phone and hit OK on each trigger. While it's possible to play around and fire off simple Python scripts on iOS it has it's limitations.įirst, you can't truly automate running them.
#RUN SYNCOVERY ON RASPBERRY PI HOW TO#
I followed up with a post that detailed how to run and schedule Python scripts on iOS, and now I'd like to share how you can do the same with a Raspberry Pi. Previously I wrote about how and why I built a simple web-scrapig script to notify us about our favourite food.
