Aurora Server

Express.js server for Aurora smart home project.

Installation

create an "app/_env.js" file with inside:

var env={
  production:true,
  port:80,
  mongo:"your mongo URL",
  mqtt_server:"your mqtt server, if you use the broker below it should be mqtt://localhost:1883",
  broker:{
    mongo_url:"mongodb://localhost:27017/",
    port:1883
  },
  weather:{
    token:"Your darksky.net API key",
    location:"lat,long",
  },
}
module.exports=env;

Then run

  npm install
  npm run start

Then visit localhost:3456. A MQTT and a Socket server will be started on port 1883 and on port 3457.

MQTT

Aurora Server will listen to all the messages on the mqtt broker with the topic

  :user_uuid/:node_uuid/updated

And will update the state of the node based on the message (in JSON).

A node should listen to

  :user_uuid/:node_uuid/update

For state changes from Aurora Server.

Todo

• Client: connect the React Client with MQTT via APIs
• Create a new node from React Client
• Better configuration for new Node (and type of node)
• Schedule a node on/off
• Share a node between more users
• Refactor sharing part
• Better Layout and design
• Add more node types
