11 dockerized BleBox device emulators - designed to help integration developers and maintainers (who may not own actual BleBox devices).

Based on actual BleBox home automation products.

(Only minimal features are implemented - to help quickly and reliably create and test basic integrations).

Based on API docs here: https://technical.blebox.eu

1. Create the docker network blebox_sensors:

$ docker network create blebox_sensors

2. Start the devices:

$ docker-compose up

3. List the devices:

$ docker network inspect blebox_sensors

or, if you have jq installed:

$ docker network inspect blebox_sensors | jq '.[0]["Containers"] | map(.IPv4Address + " " + .Name)'

1. Detect the device type/product:

$ curl -s http://172.20.0.4:80/api/device/state | jq

{
  "device": {
    "deviceName": "My sauna 1",
    "type": "saunaBox",
    "fv": "0.176",
    "hv": "0.6",
    "apiLevel": "20180604",
    "id": "aafe34db94f7",
    "ip": "172.20.0.4"
  }
}

2. Get the status with the product-specific API:

$ curl -s http://172.20.0.4:80/api/heat/state | jq

{
  "heat": {
    "state": 1,
    "desiredTemp": 7126,
    "sensors": [
      {
        "type": "temperature",
        "id": 0,
        "value": 7126,
        "trend": 0,
        "state": 2,
        "elapsedTimeS": 0
      }
    ]
  }
}

3. Interact with the product:

$ curl -d '{"heat": { "state": 1, "desiredTemp": 6300 }}' -si "http://172.20.0.4:80/api/heat/set"

• when stopping the containers, press Ctrl-C twice for faster shutdown

• use the find_box script to return the current IP addresses with matching names:

  $ find_box "sauna" # prints e.g. 172.20.0.5

  or, use a command that always works:

  $ curl -d '{"heat": { "state": 1, "desiredTemp": 6300 }}' -si "http://$(./find_box 'sauna'):80/api/heat/set"

• error codes may not be the same (not an issue in practice)
• doesn't implement specific hardware/firmare versions (but BleBox maintains backward compatibility and upgrading firmware is recommended always)
• default functionality is emulated (actual BleBox devices are highly configurable and rich with features - but those are better set using the BleBox Android/iOS apps)
• lots of features are missing (the current ones should be sufficient - if not, let me know or create a PR)
• no integration tests (yet)

The usual. Open an issue, submit a PR, etc.

Please let me know if there are any differences from the way real BleBox devices behave.
