Mock backend for IoTManagerWeb (dev)

Emulates the IoTManager ESP backend: WebSocket on port 81, HTTP for /iotm/ver.json. Two devices over one WS server (two connections = slot 0 and 1).

Run

Option A — from scripts/ (venv already in scripts):

cd IoTManagerWeb/scripts
.venv/bin/python mock_backend.py

Option B — from project root:

python3 -m venv .venv-mock
.venv-mock/bin/pip install -r scripts/requirements-mock.txt
.venv-mock/bin/python scripts/mock_backend.py --host 0.0.0.0 --ws-port 81 --http-port 8081

Default HTTP port is 8081 (sirv dev server often uses 8080).

Frontend

Set VITE_DEV_WS_HOST=127.0.0.1 in .env.development (already set). Then:

npm run dev

Open the app URL (e.g. http://localhost:8080). The app will connect to ws://127.0.0.1:81 and receive a device list of two mock devices; dashboard and charts will show mock data.
