zigbee-api

Allows you to use your Zigbee devices without the vendors bridge or gateway.

It bridges events and allows you to control your Zigbee devices via API. In this way you can integrate your Zigbee devices with whatever smart home infrastructure you are using.

Description

Zigbee API base on Nest framework inspired by zigbee2mqtt.

Supported devices

See Supported devices on Zigbee2mqtt documentation to check whether your device is supported. There is quite an extensive list, including devices from vendors like Xiaomi, Ikea, Philips, OSRAM and more.

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/apiel/zigbee-api.git
$ cd zigbee-api
$ npm install

Getting started

The documentation from zigbee2mqtt provides you all the information needed to get up and running! Make sure you don't skip sections if this is your first visit, as there might be important details in there for you.

If you aren't familiar with Zigbee terminology make sure you read this to help you out.

Running the app

# development
$ npm run start

# watch mode
$ npm run start:dev

# production mode
$ npm run start:prod

REST API

• GET /api/devices Get the list of registered devices.
• GET /api/devices/{addr} Get the details of a device, where addr is the address of the device, for example 0xd0cf5efffe3070a1.
• GET /api/events Get the list of events from the last 5 minutes, for example new device incoming or messages receive from a remote.
• POST /api/devices/{addr}/action Send an action to a device, where addr is the address of the device and the request body should contain the command in JSON format, for example { "action": { "state": "on" }, "type": "set" }

Build-in documentation

There is build-in documentation, using standard OpenAPI Specification. To access it, go to the url http://127.0.0.1:3000/docs .

From this user interface, you can run some test queries, for example to change the state of a device:

GraphQL

You can access the GraphQL playground under the url http://127.0.0.1:3000/graphql

From there you can try your GraphQL queries:

• to get the list of devices

{
    getDevices {
      type
      ieeeAddr
      manufName
      modelId
    }
}

• to get a single device information

{
    device (addr: "0xd0cf5efffe3070a1") {
      type
      ieeeAddr
      manufName
      modelId
    }
}

• to get device config information

{
  getDeviceConfig(addr: "0xd0cf5efffe3070a1") {
    device {
      type
      ieeeAddr
      modelId
    }
    config
  }
}

• to get the list of events from the last 5 minutes

{
    getEvents {
      type
      payload
      time
    }
}

• to send an action to a device

mutation {
    sendAction(
        addr: "0xd0cf5efffe3070a1"
        action: "{\"action\": {\"state\": \"on\"}, \"type\": \"set\"}"
    )
}

It is also possible to have real-time subscription, to receive events:

subscription {
    events {
      type
      payload
      time
    }
  }

Microservice

Nest framework provide a micro-servive interface. It provide multiple communication protocole like TCP, MQTT, AMQP with RabbitMQ, Redis pub/sub... For more information look at the nest documentation.
