I noticed that Orvibo have added another Wifi product to their lineup, it's a smart power strip (pretty cool).

Price: $16-18 AUD or 79 RMB

They make two different versions, one with 4 sockets and one with 3 sockets and 2 usb builtin.

Protocol documentation shows that the socket will send a confirmation when it changes state (Message 6463) but currently nothing is done with that message besides a debug log. It would be more useful if calling setState wouldn't fire/callback until this message was received, so that code could continue to call it until it's confirmed as successful.

At the very least, firing another event when 6463 is received would be nice. I can write the pull request for that, but wanted to see if you had any thoughts on the best way to have setState wait for this message as well.

I am having some issues trying to control a S20 device. After subscribing to it if I do setState it will fail after sometime, do you have any ideas? Is there any connection I need to keep alive?

Thanks for this nice module!

Why use sleep? Perhaps you do without this module in the code?

Hello,

I have been following this repo ever since I got my Kepler some months ago, mainly out of frustration with the app. I have never been able to see readings from the unit in my phone, although I was successful assigning an IP, examining the packets I only see the app sending info to a web server related to the Tencent cloud in China but never communicating to the IP assigned to the Kepler in my LAN.

So far so good I thought, I don't care that much if I can't see the values on my phone as long as the alarm still triggers if I have gas or CO in my kitchen. Then one day the gas alarm went off for no reason (I made sure I did not have any leakage) and from then on it's got an offset of 5% all the time, going up to 6% (and hence triggering the annoying beeping) from time to time randomly (the change from 5% to 6% seems to happen when the temperature is lower than 19-18 degrees Celsius).

Long story short: I would like to recalibrate the gas sensor to compensate the 5% offset. So far I've explored two possibilities: hardware and software. I'm sure there must be a way to enter a calibration menu but until now I had no luck finding it. There is a hard reset button but it has no effect in the calibration of the sensor. Opening the unit you find a connector marked P2 that might be used (maybe a JTAG interface) to write firmware into the SoC but there is little information available on this particular chip (MXCHIP MX1081). I wrote an e-mail to Orvibo's support but reading the lousy reviews on Kickstarters I don't fool myself thinking they will care much.

Now I've just started exploring the software avenue but I cannot manage to get much. There seems to be a lot of projects related to the s20 plugs but I think you're the only one working on the Kepler.

Can you please share if you had any progress? Is there anything I can do to help? Reverse engineering the UDP packets is a good start but I'm not sure that would give access to the sensor's calibration.

Based on the number of disgruntled backers I think a small tool to be able to log readings into a home automation system (imagine you have a very small gas leakage that only triggers warnings when you are not home or sleeping) would be very well received. And I could not find a product with similar characteristics (Nest protect or Birdie don't have gas detection, which is a very big issue for me). Besides, the hardware of the Kepler is actually not bad at all (in particular when you look under the hood). It's the software and documentation where it's horribly disappointing.

Well, I would really appreciate if you share your thoughts... thanks!

i just ran "npm install --save node-orvibo" on my Win7 x64 PC and I received this error. I'm new to node so I'm not sure how to proceed with debugging this error.

My setup is:

• Windows 7
• Docker version 1.9.1, build a34a1d5

I have used Docker to try and avoid having to install a C++ SDK, which seems to be required to compile the sleep library (using node-gyp?).

This is the Docker command I use to start a Node container:

docker run -it --rm --name node-orvibo -p 10000:10000/udp -p 9999:9999/udp -p 48899:48899/udp node:6 /bin/bash

I then run these commands from within the Docker container:

git clone https://github.com/Grayda/node-orvibo.git
cd node-orvibo/
npm install
cd examples/basic/
DEBUG=Orvibo node index.js

And this is the output from running the example program:

root@969a26ad1f72:/node-orvibo/examples/basic# DEBUG=Orvibo node index.js

  Orvibo Found something else: +1ms

From looking at the code that handles the 7161 command, it seems that my message is far too small. The code referenced uses substring such as message.substr(62, 6), but my message is seemingly only 12 characters in length.

Do you have any ideas? Thanks.

Hi there, for your reference you can now buy the Orvibo Keplar device from GearBest:
http://www.gearbest.com/access-control/pp_236317.html

Do you know if this plugin will support the newer smart sockets? I think the model is B25, I have been trawling various places for an answer on this and can't find resolution anywhere and as someone who is diffo not a coder I'm struggling but really want to make use of this with my Sockets!

Hi, will be possible to use as a homebridge plugin to control Ir device with Allone?
I'm currently using this plugin https://github.com/macnow/homebridge-platform-orvibo but is not supporting Allone

npm install --save node-orvibo
npm WARN install Refusing to install node-orvibo as a dependency of itself

regards
