node-red-contrib-nanoleaf-aurora

Nanoleaf Aurora Node-Red client

A node-red module, which provides nodes to manipulate a Nanoleaf Aurora installation.

Installation

To install the stable version use the Menu - Manage palette option and search for node-red-contrib-nanoleaf-aurora, or run the following command in your Node-RED user directory (typically ~/.node-red):

npm i node-red-contrib-nanoleaf-aurora

Open your Node-RED instance and you should have Nanoleaf Aurora nodes available in the palette.

Get your access token

You can request an access token from the 'new access token' node. This is required for the other nodes to manipulate your installation.

To do so, create a flow with a inject input, new access token and debug output (or import the flow below).

[{"id":"e55b9d45.fd9998","type":"inject","z":"2d92504.e175db","name":"Create","topic":"","payload":"","payloadType":"date","repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"x":90,"y":100,"wires":[["cb1b93ab.818018"]]},{"id":"1aa2ee85.d5cca9","type":"debug","z":"2d92504.e175db","name":"Debug token","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"payload","x":510,"y":100,"wires":[]},{"id":"cb1b93ab.818018","type":"new-access-token","z":"2d92504.e175db","host":"","query":"/api/v1/new","port":16021,"x":290,"y":100,"wires":[["1aa2ee85.d5cca9"]]},{"id":"f5b63322.d94098","type":"comment","z":"2d92504.e175db","name":"Create new access token","info":"","x":130,"y":20,"wires":[]},{"id":"cd2b5206.2cd0e8","type":"comment","z":"2d92504.e175db","name":"Change host IP address!","info":"","x":310,"y":60,"wires":[]}]

Fill in the host ip of your Nanoleaf Aurora. Deploy then hold the on-off button down for 5-7 seconds until the LED starts flashing. Triggering the inject node should result in a new access token being created and displayed in the debug area.

Use this token when creating an installation of Nanoleaf Aurora for the other nodes.

Currently tested with NanoLeaf firmware

3.1.3 If you are encountering issues with a newer firmware, please open a GitHub issue.

Current nodes implemented

Brightness

Set the current brightness.

• Integer payload; 0 -> 100.
  • Numbers less than 0 are clipped to 0
  • Numbers greater than 100 clipped to 100
• Object payload { brightness (0, 100], duration (seconds) }

Color

For hex and css keyword where the payload was just a string you can specify duration by creating a structure (see below) instead. Duration is an integer in seconds which defaults to 0.

HEX

{ "#RRGGBB" } or
{ "color": "#RRGGBB", "duration": [seconds] }

CSS Keyword

Available keywords can be found at https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color/#named-colors. Keywords are case insensitive.

{ "css keyword" }
{ "color": "css keyword", "duration": [seconds] }

RGB

{ r, g, b }
{ red, green, blue }
{ r, g, b, duration }
{ red, green, blue, duration }

HSV

{ h, s, v }
{ h, s, b }
{ hue, saturation, value }
{ hue, saturation, brightness }
{ h, s, v, duration }
{ h, s, b, duration }
{ hue, saturation, value, duration }
{ hue, saturation, brightness, duration }

HSL

{ h, s, l }
{ h, s, l, duration }

CMYK

{ c, m, y, k }
{ c, m, y, k, duration }

Effects

List installed effects, current effect or both

Effect

Set the current effect and start the show

Identify

Flash the Nanoleaf Aurora installation on and off (colour cannot be changed)

Installation

Shared configuration node used by all but the new access token node

Information

Dump of all the information supplied by the Nanoleaf Aurora installation

New access token

Create a new access token (see above)

Power

Switch on/off

Power status

on/off

Advanced

Direct manipulation of the restful API implemented by Nanoleaf. DO NOT use unless you know what you are doing!

Changes ahead

No more nodes planned! If you want something, please raise an issue or a pull request. Tests. All this was written 'blind' or by testing manually. If anyone could help with a PR which shows how to test at least a single node that would be much appreciated.
