NodeJS-based proxy for AWS IoT calling WebServices (Loxone, e.g.) on LAN

Loxprox is a simple NodeJS based application which will connect itself as an AWS IoT device to your AWS IoT hub. Its purpose is to receive configureable message signals which trigger simple HTTP GET calls in the network loxprox is running on.

This way, by receiving signals from a topic on the AWS IoT hub/bus, another IoT device or AWS cloud application can call URLs on loxprox' local area network (LAN).

It was designed to enable an Alexa Skill running on AWS Lambda to call URLs in my personal LAN to control my Loxone home automation system.

Running

Copy aws-iot.example.json as aws-iot.json and set device-id, region and certificate settings appropiate. You get the certs with a SDK download from the AWS IoT page when creating a device there.

Copy messages.example.json as messages.json to configure mappings between signals and URLs to call on loxprox' LAN.

Put all together in a NodeJS environment and auto-launch it on every boot.
