Gateblu (SkyNet Hub) allows you to connect devices with or without IP addresses to SkyNet (i.e. Phillips Hue, Belkin WeMo, Insteon, Blink1, Raspberry Pi, etc.).
The Octoblu gateway has an extensible plugin architecture allowing you to create plugins for devices that we have not had a chance to connect yet. You can search NPMJS.org for a list of active SkyNet Hub plugins.
For example if you wish to install the SkyNet plugin for the Philips hue, you can simply npm install skynet-hue
in the directory your hub installed.
Clone the git repository, then:
$ npm install
$ node server.js
If you would like to connect your SkyNet Hub to a private SkyNet cloud, then:
$ env SKYNET_SERVER=127.0.0.1 SKYNET_PORT=3000 GATEBLU_PORT=8888 node server.js
An Octoblu gateway can have subdevices attached to it. A subdevice is a configured instance of a plugin. It could be anything from a Philips hue lighting system to an arduino to a simple javascript function that just calls a shell script on the Octoblu gateway itself.
You can have as many subdevices on the gateway as you wish, as long as gateway has the plugin type installed that you want to use for your subdevice.
If you have direct access to your gateway, then a simple way to create an subdevice is with a curl command. For example if you wish to create a subdevice of type skynet-hue:
curl -X POST http://192.168.1.110:8888/subdevices -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name":"living_Room_Lights", "type":"skynet-hue", "options":{"ipAddress": "192.168.1.115", "apiUsername": "newdeveloper"}}'
You can then message subdevices directly from skynet by sending a normal skynet message to the Octoblu gateway and specifing:
{
devices: 'xxxxxx-uuid-of-a-skynet-hub-xxx',
subdevice: 'living_Room_Lights',
payload: { setState: {lightNumber: 1, on: true} }
}
Gateblu has a websocket API called gatewayConfig that allows you to query, configure, install, and uninstall plugins and subdevices.
Once you are connected to Meshblu (formerly SkyNet.im), you can call gatewayConfig with the following methods:
- configurationDetails - Returns an array of all plugins and subdevices installed on the gateway
- getSubdevices - Returns an array of all subdevices installed on the gateway
- createSubdevice - Creates a subdevice on the gateway
- updateSubdevice - Updates a subdevice on the gateway
- deleteSubdevice - Deletes a subdevice on the gateway
- reloadSubdevice - Reloads all subdevices on the gateway
- getPlugins - Returns an array of all plugins installed on the gateway
- installPlugin - Installs a plugin on the gateway
- updatePlugin - Updates a plugin on the gateway
- uninstallPlugin - Uninstalls a plugin on the gateway
- getDefaultOptions - Returns an array of default options for configuring your subdevice
Here are sample gatewayConfig websocket API calls:
conn.gatewayConfig({
uuid: 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXX',
token: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
method: 'configurationDetails'
}, function(results){ console.log(results); });
conn.gatewayConfig({
uuid: 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXX',
token: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
method: 'getSubdevices'
}, function(results){ console.log(results); });
conn.gatewayConfig({
uuid: 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXX',
token: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
method: 'createSubdevice',
type: 'skynet-greeting',
name: 'hellos',
options: {"greetingPrefix": 'hello'}
}, function(results){ console.log(results); });
conn.gatewayConfig({
uuid: 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXX',
token: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
method: 'updateSubdevice',
type: 'skynet-greeting',
name: 'hellos',
options: {"greetingPrefix": 'yes'}
}, function(results){ console.log(results); });
conn.gatewayConfig({
uuid: 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXX',
token: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
method: 'deleteSubdevice',
type: 'skynet-greeting',
name: 'hellos'
}, function(results){ console.log(results); });
conn.gatewayConfig({

}, function(results){ console.log(results); });
conn.gatewayConfig({

}, function(results){ console.log(results); });
conn.gatewayConfig({
