mqtt-scripts

mqtt-scripts is a Node.js based script runner for use in mqtt based smart home environments.

It's intentended to be used as the "logic layer" in your smart home, and offers a zero-boilerplate, straight forward scripting environment.

It follows the mqtt-smarthome architecture. Mqtt-scripts could be seen as something like "Node-RED without GUI"

Getting started

Prerequisites: mqtt-scripts needs Node.js >= 6.0.

Install mqtt-scripts globally:

sudo npm install -g mqtt-scripts

Create a folder from where mqtt-scripts will load the scripts:

mkdir -p /opt/mqtt-smarthome/scripts

Create a folder to install node modules that can be used in the scripts:

mkdir /opt/mqtt-smarthome/scripts/node_modules
(You can then just use npm install in the directory /opt/mqtt-smarthome/scripts)

Put some files in you script dir:

echo "log.info('my first script!')" > /opt/mqtt-smarthome/scripts/test1.js
echo "log.info 'get ma a coffee' > /opt/mqtt-smarthome/scripts/test1.coffee

Start mqtt-scripts

mqtt-scripts -d /opt/mqtt-smarthome/scripts

Run with Docker

To run with Docker, use either a pre-build image or build one your own. Either way, just substitude the node-command you would have used by the Docker command, for e.g.:

mqtt-scripts --help

becomes

docker run dersimn/mqtt-scripts:1 --help

An example for a productive configuration would be:

docker run -d --restart=always --name=logic \
    -e "TZ=Europe/Berlin" \
    -v /opt/hma/etc/scripts:/scripts:ro \
    dersimn/mqtt-scripts:1 \
    --url mqtt://10.1.1.50 \
    --dir /scripts

Configure via MQTTSCRIPTS_ env variables when using Docker Compose.

Build

Docker development build:

docker build -t mqtt-scripts .
docker run --rm mqtt-scripts --help

Docker Hub deploy:

docker buildx create --name mybuilder
docker buildx use mybuilder
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm/v7 -t dersimn/mqtt-scripts:1 -t dersimn/mqtt-scripts:1.x.x --push .

link('hm//RC4:1/PRESS_CONT', 'hue//lights/Hobbyraum/bri_inc', -16);

subscribe('hm//RC4:2/PRESS_CONT', function () {
    if (!getValue('hue//lights/Hobbyraum')) {
        setValue('hue//lights/Hobbyraum', 1);
    } else {
        setValue('hue//lights/Hobbyraum/bri_inc', 16);
