Dirigera

A simple tool that can be used to set up a local controller for your new IKEA smart home system.

This is a work in progress!

Setup

import { Dirigera } from 'dirigera-simple';
var dirigera = new Dirigera(dirigeraIP, access_token);

You need to setup the access_token with an authentication routine. This means you need to run Authenticate and then press the action button on your Dirigera hub.

 

Authenticate

import { Authenticate } from 'dirigera-simple';

var dirigeraIP = false;
var auth = new Authenticate(dirigeraIP, data => {
    console.log(data);
    var access_token = data.access_token;
    var dirigeraIP = data.ip;
    // Save this token in your config or in code!
})

When this code is running, the only way (at them moment) is to view the console to see what is happening. The gist is that, after starting the code, you will need to press the action button (on the bottom of the Dirigera). This will return a code to you. Save it somewhere and use it with the Dirigera class to connect to the hub.

 

Turn on and off a device

dirigera.turnOnDevice(deviceId)

dirigera.turnOffDevice(deviceId)

Want to find out what light/device it is, let it blink:

dirigera.blinkLight(deviceId)

Control a room

dirigera.turnOffRoom(roomId);

dirigera.setRoomAttribute(roomId, [
    { 'isOn': true }, 
    { 'lightLevel': 100 }, 
    { 'colorTemperature': 2200 }
]);

Get a list of all devices

dirigera.getDeviceList(devices => {
    console.log(devices);
})

Poll device attribute changes

This method allows you to poll for changes in device attributes, and execute a callback function when a change is detected.

dirigera.pollDeviceAttributes((deviceId, attribute, newValue, previousValue, device) => {
    console.log(`Attribute "${attribute}" of device "${deviceId}" has changed from ${previousValue} to ${newValue}`);
});

 

Find Dirigera IP address

import { Discover } from 'dirigera-simple';
new Discover((data) => {
    console.log("Found device on IP: " + data.ip)
});

Using mdns-server to retrive the IP address from the Dirigera Hub, this process is automated for the Authenticate code.

Usefulle when IP address is auto asigned, and over time it might change.

   

TODO

• Find IP address automatically
• Listen/observe device changes
• Notify on device changes
• Test more extensivly
• Get device names, ids etc in list
• Overview of device capabilites
