Allows communication to Bosch Smart Home Controller (BSHC)

Bosch Smart Home Controller

Bosch Smart Home Controller Local REST API.

Getting started

You need to create a new instance of BoschSmartHomeBridge (BSHB). Therefore, you need to use BoschSmartHomeBridgeBuilder. The builder will force you to set every mandatory properties:

• host name / ip address of BSHC
• client certificate (base64 encoded)
• client private key (base64 encoded, 2048bit)
• a logger which implements the interface which is defined in this library (optional)

const certificate = BshbUtils.generateClientCertificate();
const bshb = BoschSmartHomeBridgeBuilder.builder()
  .withHost('192.168.0.10')
  .withClientCert(certificate.cert)
  .withClientPrivateKey(certificate.private)
  .build();

Pairing

Then you need to start the pairing process. Therefore, you need:

• name of the client
• a unique identifier for the new client (uuid is ok but can be any string)
• system password of BSHC

const identifier = BshbUtils.generateIdentifier();
bshb.pairIfNeeded('name', identifier, 'systemPassword');

Communication

After that you can use BSHB to communicate with BSHC. Therefore, just use the provided client which provides some helpful methods:

bshb.getBshcClient();

Long Polling

If you are interested in updates from bshc you can use long polling. Therefore, you need to do the following:

bshb
  .getBshcClient()
  .subscribe()
  .subscribe(response => {
    bshb
      .getBshcClient()
      .longPolling(response.parsedResponse.result)
      .subscribe(info => {
        // do something with the information
        // also you need to call longPolling again after connection close
      });
  });

Do not forget to unsubscribe. E.g. in error case or on application end.

bshb
  .getBshcClient()
  .unsubscribe(response.parsedResponse.result)
  .subscribe(() => {});

Examples

You can find an example in test directory. Npm arguments must be set manually.
