Node-RED on the Wiren Board controller

Description

Wiren Board Node-RED Video Tutorial by SetPoint

Node-RED is a visual programming tool based on Node.js and developed and maintained by an open community.

A detailed description, instructions and examples of use can be found on the site nodered.org, and community support in the telegram channel Node-RED.

Copy the commands from the instructions, paste them into controller console using the Shift+Insert keys and run with the Enter key. In case of errors, carefully read the output, there will be instructions and hints.

Installation

To install Node-RED 2.2 on a Wiren Board controller, connect to it via SSH and enter a few commands into the console.

Install the necessary components:

apt update && apt install -y nodejs git make g++ gcc build-essential

Run the Node-RED installation:

npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red@2.2

If you need to upgrade your Node-RED version, run the install command again.

Creating a project

To autostart Node-RED, you need to configure the service. To do this, in the /etc/systemd/system/ folder, create the nodered.service file:

mcedit /etc/systemd/system/nodered.service

Then paste the lines into this file:

[Unit]
Description=Node-RED graphical event wiring tool
Wants=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
Group=root
WorkingDirectory=/home

Nice=5
Environment="NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=256"
ExecStart=/usr/bin/env node-red $NODE_OPTIONS $NODE_RED_OPTIONS
KillSignal=SIGINT
Restart=on-failure
SyslogIdentifier=Node-RED

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save changes and close the file. Now enable the service and start it with the command:

systemctl enable nodered && systemctl start nodered

Check the status of the service with the command, the output should contain the line Active: active (running):

# systemctl status nodered
● nodered.service - Node-RED graphical event wiring tool
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/nodered.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Fri 2021-12-03 06:32:25 UTC; 24s ago

Delete

If you no longer need Node-RED, then you can remove it:

  1. Stop, disable and remove the service:
    systemctl stop nodered && systemctl disable nodered && rm /etc/systemd/system/nodered.service
    
  2. Remove Node-RED:
    npm -g remove node-red && npm -g remove node-red-admin && rm -R ~/.node-red
    

Node.js can also be removed, but make sure you don't have other programs installed that use it, such as zigbee2mqtt. To remove node.js run the command:

apt remove nodejs

Node-RED Web Interface

After starting the service, open a browser and enter the address of your controller on the network and port 1880. For example: http://192.168.42.1:1880

Instructions for working with Node-RED can be found at site nodered.org

WB Nodes

Installing WB Nodes on a Wiren Board Controller
Configuring the connection to the Wiren Board controller

To simplify the interaction of Node-RED with the Wiren Board controller, the user Andrej_Popov wrote the module node-red-contrib-wirenboard</ code>.

Installation

Install it via Node-RED web interface: Шаблон:Node-RED Install plugin

After installation, the Wiren Board section will appear in the left panel.

Setting

After you have installed WB Nodes, you need to set up a connection to the MQTT broker of the Wiren Board controller:

  1. Add a WB-input node to the workspace, which is located in the left panel, in the Wiren Board section.
  2. Double click on it, the Edit in node window will open.
  3. Find the field Server and click on the pencil button. The Add new wirenboard-server config node window will open.
  4. Fill in the Name, Host and MQTT Port fields. If Node-RED is installed on the controller, enter localhost in the Host field. Enter an arbitrary name in the Name field, and 1883 in the MQTT Port field.
  5. Save the server settings by clicking on the Done button.
  6. Close the Edit in node window by clicking on Cancel.

After setting up the connection, apply the server setting by clicking the Deploy button on the top right. Only after that the list of channels of the Wiren Board controller will be available.

You have set up WB Nodes and can write automations using Node-RED.

Checking settings

To check if the settings are correct:

  1. Add any node from the Wiren Board group to the workspace, for example, WB-input.
  2. Double click on the WB-input node, the Edit in node window will open.
  3. In the Edit in node window, click the Refresh Device List button.

If the connection is configured correctly, then the drop-down list of the Сhannel field will display a list of channels available for use.

Examples

WB-Nodes comes with examples for Apple HomeKit and Yandex.Alice, you can find them in MenuImportExamples.

Использование нод mqtt in и mqtt out для взаимодействия с Wiren Board

Настройка подключения

Ноды MQTT в Node-Red

Альтернативный вариант — использовать ноды mqtt in и mqtt out. Для этого вам понадобятся адреса топиков, взять их можно в веб-интерфейсе контроллера на странице MQTT-каналы.

Для настройки MQTT-соединения в Node-RED выполните следующие действия:

  1. Перетащите ноду mqtt in в рабочую область.
  2. Войдите в конфигурацию ноды и нажмите на Карандаш напротив поля Server.
  3. На вкладке Connecting задайте адрес брокера и номер порта.
    В поле Name введите любое имя сервера.
    На вкладке Security можно указать Имя пользователя и Пароль для подключения к брокеру. Если в качестве брокера выступает контроллер Wiren Board, это поле нужно оставить пустым.
  4. После заполнения всех полей нажмите кнопку Update. Созданный брокер теперь можно использовать для настройки всех подключений.
  5. Выберите созданные брокер из списка в поле Server.
  6. Введите адрес mqtt-топика в поле Topic.
  7. Нажмите кнопку Done.

По такому же принципу настраивается нода mqtt out.

Отправка команд

Для отправки команды контроллеру по MQTT используется нода mqtt out. При этом в поле Topic указывается адрес mqtt-топика контроллера, в который необходимо записать параметр. Нужно учитывать, что в конце адреса ноды mqtt out нужно написать /on, иначе параметр в топик не запишется. Например, /devices/wb-mrgbw-d-fw3_129/controls/RGB Strip/on. Подробнее читайте на странице MQTT.

Для отправки параметра в ноду mqtt out можно использовать ноду inject.

  1. Перетащите ноду inject в рабочую область.
  2. Подключите ее ко входу ноды mqtt out.
  3. Зайдите в настройки ноды inject и задайте Имя ноды, Тип переменной и ее Значение. Нажмите кнопку Done.

После настройки ввода и вывода можно обрабатывать данные внутри Node-RED и настроить использование сторонних сервисов, например, Умный дом с Алисой.
