2. Submit Your Project
Integration Track
- Fork the Code
-
Fork the integration repository from GitHub - Milesight-IoT/beaver-iot-integrations
-
Make your modifications and submit a Pull Request (PR).
-
If your changes involve frontend modifications, also fork the frontend repository from https://github.com/Milesight-IoT/beaver-iot-web
- Submit a PR
Each repository should have only one PR, so ensure all changes for a repository are included in a single PR. The PR must include:
i. A description of the purpose and functionality of your new integration.
ii. A demonstration (screenshots or video recording) of the feature in action.
Note: If your submission involves changes to both the frontend and integration repositories, include the description and demo in one PR only (either repo). For the other PR, simply link to the main PR.
- Label Your PR
We’ve created a "Milesight Hackathons" label in both repositories. Tag your PR with this label.
Demo Track
- Set up a Beaver IoT instance (using Docker or another method) and build your demo.
- Submit an issue in the integration repository: https://github.com/Milesight-IoT/beaver-iot-integrations. The issue must include:
- A written explanation of the demo’s scenario, purpose, and features.
- A video demonstration (recommended 2-3 min).
- Tag the issue with the "Milesight Hackathons" label.
