Hub Service for HARDWARIO USB Gateway

Travis Release License PyPI Twitter

This repository contains CLI service for HARDWARIO USB Gateway.

Introduction

The service connects to a serial port where HARDWARIO USB Gateway is connected. It converts messages from serial port to MQTT broker and vice versa. Run with --help parameter to see the available options. It works with Python 2.7+ and Python 3.5+ environments and it has been tested under Linux, macOS and Windows.

Setup

pip3 install -U bcg

Install as a system-wide local Python package.

git clone https://github.com/bigclownlabs/bch-gateway.git
cd bch-gateway
sudo pip3 install -e .

Note: Parameter -e instructs to install files as symlinks, so changes to the source files will be immediately available to other users of the package on the host.

MQTT

  • Get info about all connected gateway

    mosquitto_pub -t 'gateway/all/info/get' -n
    

    response:

    gateway/{name}/info {"id": "836d19839c3b", "firmware": "bcf-gateway-...."}
    
  • List of paired nodes

    mosquitto_pub -t 'gateway/{name}/nodes/get' -n
    

    response:

    gateway/{name}/nodes ["{id-node-0}", "{id-node-id1}", "{id-node-id2}"]
    
  • Pairing mode

    • Start

      mosquitto_pub -t 'gateway/{name}/pairing-mode/start' -n
      

      LED on gateway start blink

      response:

      gateway/{name}/pairing-mode "start"
      

      Gateway is waiting to pair node. To pare node, long press the button on Core Module.

      response when the node is successfully added:

      gateway/{name}/attach "{id-node-0}"
      gateway/{name}/attach "{id-node-1}"
      ...
      

      Error response if there is not enough space:

      gateway/{name}/attach-failure "{id-node-1}"
      
    • Stop

      mosquitto_pub -t 'gateway/{name}/pairing-mode/stop' -n
      

      LED on gateway turns off

      response:

      gateway/{name}/pairing-mode "stop"
      
  • Purge all nodes

    mosquitto_pub -t 'gateway/{name}/nodes/purge' -n
    

    response:

    gateway/{name}/nodes []
    
  • Manual Add/Pair node

    mosquitto_pub -t 'gateway/{name}/nodes/add' -m '"{id-node}"'
    

    response:

    gateway/{name}/attach "{id-node}"
    

    Error response if there is not enough space:

    gateway/{name}/attach-failure "{id-node-1}"
    
  • Manual Remove/Unpair node

    mosquitto_pub -t 'gateway/{name}/nodes/remove' -m '"{id-node}"'
    

    response:

    gateway/{name}/detach "{id-node}"
    
  • Set node alias

    mosquitto_pub -t 'gateway/usb-dongle/alias/set' -m '{"id": "id-node", "alias": "new-alias"}'
    

    respose:

    gateway/usb-dongle/alias/set/ok {"id": "id-node", "alias": "new-alias"}
    
  • Remove node alias

    mosquitto_pub -t 'gateway/usb-dongle/alias/remove' -m '"{id-node}"'
    
    mosquitto_pub -t 'gateway/usb-dongle/alias/set' -m '{"id": "id-node", "alias": null}'
    
  • Scan Start

    • Start

      mosquitto_pub -t 'gateway/{name}/scan/start' -n
      

      response:

      gateway/{name}/scan "start"
      

      response for unknown node

      gateway/{name}/found "{id-node-0}"
      gateway/{name}/found "{id-node-1}"
      gateway/{name}/found "{id-node-2}"
      ...
      
    • Stop

      mosquitto_pub -t 'gateway/{name}/scan/stop' -n
      

      response:

      gateway/{name}/scan "stop"
      
  • Automatic pairing of all visible nodes

    !!! This is experimental features do not all work

    • Start

      mosquitto_pub -t 'gateway/{name}/automatic-pairing/start' -n
      

      LED on gateway start blink

      response:

      gateway/{name}/automatic-pairing "start"
      

      response when the node is successfully added:

      gateway/{name}/attach "{id-node-0}"
      gateway/{name}/attach "{id-node-1}"
      ...
      
    • Stop

      mosquitto_pub -t 'gateway/{name}/automatic-pairing/stop' -n
      
      LED on gateway turns off
      
      response:
      ```
      gateway/{name}/automatic-pairing "stop"
      ```
