node-ph803w

Library to interact locally with PH-803W devices

Device details

The PH803W device is internally an ESP which uses the GizWits platform. With this the device offers two ways of communication:

• The device connects to the gizwits cloud via MQTT and publishs the device data there, where the Android app gets the data from
• The device also offers local options via UDP for discovery and setup (Onboarding) and also a TCP interface for communication with the device and to request data

This library is focussing on the local LAN interface via UDP and TCP.

LAN communication protocol

Please see Protocol page.

Usage

The library is documented in code (Apidoc) and example scripts show the usage

Available examples (see example folder):

• data.js: Skript to connect to a device via IP, authenticate and retrieve data
• discovery.js: Skript to discover devices in the network
