thing-it-device-enocean-ip
Device Plugins for [thing-it-node] and thing-it.com for Enocean IP-connected devices e.g. leverage products of (http://enocean-gateway.eu/en/).
The Plugin currently supports a number of concrete Devices
- Switch (EEP F6-02, Rocker Switch)
- Occupancy Sensor (EEP A5-07)
- Power Outlet/Plug (EEP D5-00-01)
- Temperature Sensor (EEP A5-02)
Over time, we are going to support a broader bandwidth of EnOcean Equipment Profiles.
Installation and Configuration
Installation of NodeJS and [thing-it-node]
First, install nodejs on your computer (e.g. your PC or your Raspberry Pi).
Then install [thing-it-node] via
npm install -g thing-it-node
Initialization and Start of [thing-it-node]
The [thing-it-device-enocean-ip] Plugin is installed with [thing-it-node], hence there is no need to install it separately.
The Plugin supports Autodiscovery, hence you only have to create a directory in which you intend to run the configuration, e.g.
mkdir ~/enocean-test
cd ~/enocean-test
and invoke
tin init
and then start [thing-it-node] via
tin run
Install the [thing-it] Mobile App from the Apple Appstore or Google Play and set it up to connect to [thing-it-node] locally as described here or just connect your browser under http://localhost:3001.
EnOcean Device Setup
Connect your EnOcean Gateway to an IP network reachable from the [thing-it-node] Gateway you have configured above and connect/pair all EnOcean Devices to it.
As Auto-discovery is not in place yet, you will have to configure the connected Devices manually as e.g. in the sample configuration.
Mobile UI
The following screenshot shows the Devices in sample configuration:
Gateway Simulator
This Plugin also contains a simulator to simulate EnOcean IP Gateways. To run the simulator invoke
node gatewaySimulator
in the server subdirectory which simulates a Gateway connected to the Devices in the sample configuration.
