node-ezsp-mqtt

MQTT Gateway for Ember EZSP protocol devides based on xbmq-js. Provides for two-way communication with ZigBee networks through MQTT messages.

Quick Start

Install node-ezsp-mqtt via npm install node-ezsp-mqtt. Installation on RaspberryPI requires additional --unsafe-perm --build-from-source args due to the SerialPort dependency

Configure the local Ember device:

Configure node-ezsp-mqtt with your mqtt and serial port settings using command-line arguments. The arguments and their default values are:

  • --rootTopic zbgw
  • --broker mqtt://test.mosquitto.org
  • --username (none)
  • --password (none)
  • --port /dev/ttyUSB0
  • --baud 9600
  • --log ./ezgw.log
  • --loglevel info

Alternatively, use a config file instead. Copy or rename config.json.sample to config.json. Note: Command-line arguments override config.json.

Operation

All MQTT messages (to and from the ZigBee network) are published to subtopics of rootTopic/gatewayIdentifier, where rootTopic is configured as above and gatewayIdentifier is the NI value of the local ZigBee. If NI is not set, the radio's 64-bit address will be used instead.

Topic: rootTopic/gatewayIdentifier/online

  • Message Type: String
  • Message Value: "1" for online, "0" for offline
  • Description: Messages are published to this topic by the gateway to indicate the gateway's online status.

Topic: rootTopic/gatewayIdentifier/response

  • Message Type: JSON
  • Message Value: An EZSP frame
  • Description: Messages from the ZigBee network are published to this topic.

Topic: rootTopic/gatewayIdentifier/nodeIdentifier/response

  • Message Type: JSON
  • Message Value: An EZSP frame
  • Description: Messages from a specific node are published to this topic.

Topic: rootTopic/gatewayIdentifier/request

  • Message Type: JSON
  • Message Value: An EZSP frame
  • Description: Mqtt clients can publish to this topic to issue commands to the ZigBee network.

Topic: rootTopic/gatewayIdentifier/log

  • Message Type: JSON
  • Message Value: Log messages. Verbosity is controlled by --loglevel.
  • Description: Similar to what appears in the local log file.

Tips for Using with MQTT Clients

MQTT module for NodeJS

  • Call JSON.parse(message) on messages received from the request topic.
  • Call JSON.stringify(message) on ZigBee frame objects before publishing.

Node-Red

  • Connect a JSON node to the output of the MQTT node that is subscribed to the request topic.

  1. Send a message to the rootTopic/gatewayId/permit-joining topic with values 0..255 Where 0 disables any future joins, 255 enables permanently and any value in between enables for the given number of seconds.

  2. Monitor logs and the devices.json file for the new device entry upon a successful join.
