ha-bridge

Emulates Philips Hue api to other home automation gateways such as an Amazon Echo. The Bridge has helpers to build devices for the gateway for the Logitech Harmony Hub, Vera, Vera Lite or Vera Edge. Alternatively the Bridge supports custom calls as well. The Bridge handles basic commands such as "On", "Off" and "brightness" commands of the hue protocol.

Build

To customize and build it yourself, build a new jar with maven:

mvn install

Otherwise, downloads are available at https://github.com/bwssytems/ha-bridge/releases.

Run

Then locate the jar and start the server with:

java -jar -Dvera.address=X.Y.Z.A -Dharmony.address=X.Y.Z.A -Dharmony.user=myself -Dharmony.pwd=passwd ha-bridge-0.X.Y.jar

Available Arguments

-Dvera.address=<ip address>

The argument for the vera address should be given as it the system does not have a way to find the address. Supply -Dvera.address=X.Y.Z.A on the command line to provide it. If a vera is not used, do not set it.

-Dupnp.config.address=<ip address>

The server defaults to the first available address on the host. Replace the -Dupnp.config.address=<ip address> value with the server ipv4 address you would like to use as the address that any upnp device will call after discovery.

-Dserver.port=<port>

The server defaults to running on port 8080. If you're already running a server (like openHAB) on 8080, -Dserver.port=<port> on the command line.

-Dupnp.device.db=<filepath>

The default location for the db to contain the devices as they are added is "data/devices.db". If you would like a different filename or directory, specify -Dupnp.devices.db=<directory>/<filename> or <filename> if it is the same directory.

-Dupnp.response.port=<port>

The upnp response port that will be used. The default is 50000.

-Dharmony.address=<ip address>

The argument for the Harmony Hub address should be given as the system does not have a way to find the address. Supply -Dharmony.address=X.Y.Z.A on the command line to provide it. If a Harmony Hub is not used, do not set it.

-Dharmony.user=<username>

The user name of the MyHarmony.com account for the Harmony Hub. This needs to be given if you are using the Harmony Hub Features, provide -Dharmony.user=<username> on the command line.

-Dharmony.pwd=<password>

The password for the user name of the MyHarmony.com account for the Harmony Hub. This needs to be given if you are using the Harmony Hub Features, provide -Dharmony.pwd=<password> on the command line.

-Dupnp.strict=<true|false>

Upnp has been very closed on this platform to try and respond as a hue and there is now a setting to control if it is more open or strict, Add -Dupnp.strict=<true|false> to your command line to have the emulator respond to what it thinks is an echo to a hue or any other device. The default is upnp.strict=true.

-Dtrace.upnp=<true|false>

Turn on tracing for upnp discovery messages. The default is false.

Web Config

Configure by going to the url for the host you are running on or localhost with port you have assigned:

http://<ip address>:<port>

Configuration REST API usage

This section will describe the REST api available for configuration. The REST body examples are all formatted for easy reading, the actual body usage should be like this:

{"var1":"value1","var2":"value2","var3:"value3"}

The body should be all in one string and not separated by returns, tabs or spaces. FYI, GET items do not require a body element. If you would like to see example return of json data for full Harmony Hub configuration if configured, which includes activities and devices, take a look at the resource file config.data. If you are interested in how the json data looks for the HA bridge configuration, after creating a device, look at the data directory for the device.db. These calls can be accomplished with a REST tool using the following URLs and HTTP Verb types:

Add a device

Add a new device to the HA Bridge configuration. This is the basic examples and the next 3 headinds describe alternate items to add.

POST http://host:8080/api/devices
{
"name" : "bedroom light",
"deviceType" : "switch",
  "onUrl" : "http://192.168.1.201:3480/data_request?id=action&output_format=json&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=1&DeviceNum=41",
  "offUrl" : "http://192.168.1.201:3480/data_request?id=action&output_format=json&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=0&DeviceNum=41"
}

Dimming and value passing control

Dimming is also supported by using the expressions ${intensity.percent} for 0-100 or ${intensity.byte} for 0-255 or custom values using ${intensity.math(<your expression using "X" as the value to operate on>)} i.e. "${intensity.math(X/4)}".
e.g.

POST http://host:8080/api/devices
{
    "name": "entry light",
    "deviceType": "switch",
    "offUrl": "http://192.168.1.201:3480/data_request?id=action&output_format=json&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=0&DeviceNum=31",
    "onUrl": "http://192.168.1.201:3480/data_request?id=action&output_format=json&DeviceNum=31&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:Dimming1&action=SetLoadLevelTarget&newLoadlevelTarget=${intensity.percent}"
}

See the echo's documentation for the dimming phrase.

POST/PUT support

added optional fields

  • contentType (currently un-validated)
  • httpVerb (POST/PUT/GET only supported)
  • contentBody your post/put body for onUrl here
  • contentBodyOff your post/put body for offUrl here

This will allow control of any other application that may need more then GET. You can also use the dimming and value control commands within the URLs as well. e.g:

POST http://host:8080/api/devices
{
    "name": "test device",
    "deviceType": "switch",
    "offUrl": "http://192.168.1.201:3480/data_request?id=action&output_format=json&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=0&DeviceNum=31",
    "onUrl": "http://192.168.1.201:3480/data_request?id=action&output_format=json&DeviceNum=31&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:Dimming1&action=SetLoadLevelTarget&newLoadlevelTarget=${intensity.percent}",
  "contentType" : "application/json",
  "httpVerb":"POST",
  "contentBody" : "{\"fooBar\":\"baz_on\"}"
  "contentBodyOff" : "{\"fooBar\":\"baz_off\"}"
}

Custom Usage URLs

Anything that takes an action as a result of an HTTP request will probably work and you can also use the dimming and value control commands within the URLs as well - like putting Vera in and out of night mode:

POST http://host:8080/api/devices
{
  "name": "night mode",
  "deviceType": "switch",
  "offUrl": "http://192.168.1.201:3480/data_request?id=lu_action&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1&action=SetHouseMode&Mode=1",
  "onUrl": "http://192.168.1.201:3480/data_request?id=lu_action&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1&action=SetHouseMode&Mode=3"
}

Update a device

Update an existing device using it's ID that was given when the device was created and the update could contain any of the fields that are used and shown in the previous examples when adding a device.

POST http://host:8080/api/devices/`<id>`
{
"name" : "bedroom light",
"deviceType" : "switch",
  "onUrl" : "http://192.168.1.201:3480/data_request?id=action&output_format=json&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=1&DeviceNum=41",
  "offUrl" : "http://192.168.1.201:3480/data_request?id=action&output_format=json&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=0&DeviceNum=41"
}

Debugging

To turn on debugging for the bridge, use the following extra parm in the command line:

-Dorg.slf4j.simpleLogger.defaultLogLevel=DEBUG

Development Mode

To turn on development mode so that it will not need an Harmony Hub for testing, use the following extra parm in the command line and the harmony ip and login info will not be needed:

java -jar -Ddev.mode=true ha-bridge-0.X.Y.jar
