Express.js server for Aurora smart home project.

create an "_env.js" file with inside:

var env = {
  production: false,
  port: 3456,
  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
  },
  auth: {
    saltRounds: 10,
  },
  socket_server: "http://localhost:3456",
  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.

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.

With the Aurora APIs and IFTTT, you can use your voice to control Aurora. Here is what you need to do:

1. Create a new Applet on IFTTT
2. Choose 'Google Assistant' as "This"
3. Choose 'Say a simple phrase' as "trigger"
4. Write your phrase (for example: 'Turn on the TV') and then write what you want the Assistant to say in response (for example: 'Turning on TV...')
5. Choose 'Maker Webhooks' as 'action service'
6. As URL, write {{URL}}/api/v1/nodes/{{UUID_NODE}}?access_token={{UUID_USER}}, where URL is the url where your server is hosted, UUID_NODE is the node UUID and UUID_USER is the user UUID. Note that you can't test this on localhost, you need to have a real domain.
7. As Method, choose POST, and as Content Type choose "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
8. As Body, choose the node state that you want to change in the form {{key}}={{value}} (for example: open=true for a 'switch' node)
9. That's it! Save the applet and use Google Assistant on Android or on Google Home to say your phrase Trigger (OK Google, turn on the TV). Everything will work as expected :)

• 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 - schedule doesn't work
• Better Layout and design
• Add more node types
