Fist pass TRÅDFRI MQTT Bridge

I’ve been working on integrating the new IKEA TRÅDFRI Lights into my Home Automation system. I’d really like a native NodeJS system so I can plug it directly into Node-RED, but I’ve not found a working CoAP over DTLS setup just yet.

So in the mean time I’ve been working on a very basic MQTT to CoAP client bridge in Java using the Eclipse Californium library.

It still needs some work, but here is the first pass:

I’ve tagged the code onto the gist as well for now, but I’ll check the whole thing in as a separate project soon.

More improvements to the WeMo Node-RED Nodes

Having got all my bulbs working again with my WeMo Link device it was time to have another play with the Node-RED WeMo nodes.

First up close the gap between what the doc claims the nodes do and what they actually do. This is mainly the WeMo Out node which claimed to support an input object that could set both the state and the brightness at the same time for light bulbs and groups. In actuality it only set the state. This update fixes this along with supporting setting colour and colour temperature as well if the bulb supports those capabilities.
The WeMo in node (event node) now includes the capability name as well as it’s code when a bulb or group changes.
Fixed Light groups to actually work
Automatically set the node name to the discovered device name to stop you having to set it via the name field in the config

The biggest change is the addition on the new WeMo Lookup node. This node queries a given device for it’s current state.

For Sockets the node sets the msg.payload to something very similar to the event node’s staus field, so 0 for off and 1 for on (and 8 for on/standby in the case of the insight socket.). For lights/light groups it outputs an object similar to the Event node, with keys for each capability the light/group has. At the moment the color field is still in X,Y values not RGB.

This makes it possible to implement flows that carry out relative changes without having to keep a permanent record of the state of the device in the context. This let’s you do fun things like this:

This flow looks up the current brightness level and then increases or decreases it based on the direction the Powermate is turned and toggles the light on/off when it’s pressed.

Version 0.1.11 should have gone live on npmjs.org today.

TRÅDFRI – Ikea’s new Smart lighting system

This week Ikea announced a new set of Smart Lighting products called TRÅDFRI (translates to ‘Wire Free’).

Reading the various articles it sounds like it’s a Zigbee Light Link based system so I was interested in having a play to see if I could make the bulbs work with the WeMo kit I already have, but also given how cheap the gateway is I thought I’d grab one of those as well to see if I could work out what the network protocol is so I can write a similar Node-RED node to the existing WeMo one.

A (remarkably) short trip to the local branch and I came a way with 2 items:

A E27 Blub that can be dimmed and a remote dimmer £15

The dimmer looks very cool. It looks like it’s accelerometer based, comes with a little magnetic mount that can be stuck or screwed to the wall or it can be just stuck to the front of the fridge. If you turn it slowly it dims/brightens or if you turn it faster it turns the light on and off. You can pair each remote with up to 10 bulbs, so it can control a whole room (all be it all at once).

Bulbs on their own start at £9 and they are doing E14, GU10 formats as well as several versions of E27.

A Network Gateway that plugs into the router £25

The bridge is USB powered and comes with little USB power supply and a length of ethernet cable to connect it to your router.

I’m going to set the bridge up on a separate network and capture the traffic between the Android App and the bridge to see what the network traffic looks like. I’ll post again with the captured data and my progress as well as sticking it all up on github so others can build libraries for other systems, like OpenHab.

EDIT:
I’m keeping the notes on how I’m getting on with working out how to drive the gateway here
