Services

Services may requested by selector. A service selector is an object with the following fields:

  • (optional) string `id`: accept only a service with a given id;
  • (optional) string array of string `tags`: accept only services with all the tags in the array;
  • (optional) object or array of objects `channels` (see ChannelSelector): accept only services with channels matching all the selectors in this array;

Generally, except for (de)assigning tags, using an id is considered a bad idea, as this ties the application to a specific device, and this will fail if the device is replaced (consider that this is equivalent to using an IP address instead of a domain name).

List of Services

Example with 1 selector:

  • Get services with tag "location: kitchen" and a channel with feature "oven/temperature-celcius"

Example with 2 selectors:

As a shortcut, providing no argument will locate all services:

Tags

Channels

Channels are designed to be used by selector.

A selector is an object with the following fields:

  • (optional) string id: accept only a channel with a given id;
  • (optional) string `service`: accept only channels of a service with a given id;
  • (optional) string|array of string `tags`: accept only channels with all the tags in the array;
  • (optional) string|array of string `service_tags`: accept only channels of a service with all the tags in the array;
  • (optional) string `feature`: accept only channels that implement a given feature (e.g. "oven/temperature-celcius").

While each field is optional, at least one field must be provided.

Generally, except for (de)assigning tags, using an id is considered a bad idea, as this ties the application to a specific device, and this will fail if the device is replaced (consider that this is equivalent to using an IP address instead of a domain name).


Fetching

  • Fetch values from all channels matching any of the selectors
   POST http://localhost:3000/api/v1/channels selector(s)


Example: 

   POST http://localhost:3000/api/v1/channels [{"tags": "location: entrance", "feature": "oven/temperature-celcius"}]

Sending

  • Send one values to all channels matching any of the selectors:
   PUT http://localhost:3000/api/v1/channels/set {"select": selector(s), "value": value}

or

  • Send a bunch of values to all channels matching any of the selectors:
   PUT http://localhost:3000/api/v1/channels/set [{"select": selector(s), "value": value}, {"select": selector(s), "value: value}, ...]

See http://fxbox.github.io/taxonomy/doc/foxbox_taxonomy/values/enum.Value.html for the full documentation on values.

Example (with CURL)

The following snippet displays "Hello world" on all the devices that support Log, in particular the console. 

   curl -X PUT http://localhost:3000/api/v1/channels/set -d '{"select":{"feature":"log/append-text"},"value":{"String":"Hello, world"}}'

Tags

Specific services and channels

Time

  • Get the current time
   PUT http://localhost:3000/api/v1/channels/get {"feature":"clock/time-of-day-seconds"}
   PUT http://localhost:3000/api/v1/channels/get {"feature":"clock/time-timestamp-rfc-3339"}

Recipe

A recipe is a set of *rules*.

Each rule is triggered when *all* its *conditions* are true. A condition is specified by a set of channels to watch and a range of values that make it true - the condition becomes true once *any* of the channels it watches provides a value that fits the range.

Once a rule is triggered, it *executes*. An execution sends one value to a set of channels.


Once a rule is triggered, it won't be triggered again until at least one of the conditions has become false and true again.

Format: 

 {
   name: "Some name",
   rules: one or more of {
     conditions: one or more of {
       source: one or more of Selectors (see section on channels)
       feature: see documentation of channel kinds
       range: see documentation of ranges
       duration: (optional) floating point number of seconds
     }
     execute: one or more of {
       destination: one or more Selectors (see section on channels)
       feature: see documentation of channel kinds
       value: see documentation of values
     }
   }
 }
