@lahoco/node-red-contrib-lahoco-core 1.0.2

Node-RED Lahoco nodes bundle

npm install @lahoco/node-red-contrib-lahoco-core

Lahoco Core is made to control the devices of a Lahoco installation. It allows you to create customized automation systems, interconnect with other systems and manage devices as desired.

Nodes

This are all the nodes provided by this module to control :

• 1 Lights
  • 1.1 Simple light
  • 1.2 Dimmer light
  • 1.3 RGB light
  • 1.4 RGBW light
  • 1.5 Dimmer white light
  • 1.6 RGBW white temp
• 2 Blinds
  • 2.1 VB Blinds
  • 2.2 RS Blinds
• 3 Heaters
• 4 Watering
• 5 Scenes
• 6 Sensors
• 7 Switches

Prerequisites

In order to use a node, the Lahoco server must be up and running.

You must know the ip address and the port (generally it is 8887 for the websocket and 80 for the API) of the Lahoco server used.

Setup

1. Add the Lahoco Server node.

2. Open the configuration page of it and select / modify / add a server configuration.

3. Specify the ip address and the ports used for the Lahoco server.

4. Specify a user login and password (The users can be set in the Lahoco administrator page in tab "Users")

5. Add other Lahoco nodes to the flow to interact with the server.

WARNING

It is really recommended to put the server node in the first flow and put the other Lahoco Nodes in other flows !

Usage

Several possibilities are available to you. You can give commands to the node (input) via a json object, view the status (status under the node) and get the status (output).

For the input, you need to give a JSON object with all the commands included. This JSON object must be set in the payload.msg. The commands are read and executed one after the other from top to bottom.

Here is an example for the Light node : First we set the brightness to 25%, and after we toggle the state to off (we set the brightness just before)

payload.msg = {
  "brightness": 25,
  "toggle": ""
}

Properties

In the next sections, you will see all the properties of each node

This are all the properties that each node supports. In some nodes like "Lights" or "Blinds" some properties are working only if the node is in the good category. If you give an option that is not in his capabilities it will be ignored.

Not all the properties can be readable (output) and writeable (input), therefore in the description of each property you can see in and/or out.

All the properties that are supported for the selected device in the node and that have the out property, are return to the output of the node as a JSON object like in the input.
