MuMaBus

 

MuMaBus Release status: experimental [box doku]
Description	Bus to connect different devices in the lab and in the outside world
Author(s)	tiefpunkt

The MuMaBus is a framework to connect different devices in the lab to each other and with outside services. This is currently done using MQTT.

Bus details

• MQTT Broker: mqtt.munichmakerlab.de
  • Note: Old nodes in the bus still use mqtt.tiefpunkt.com. Both brokers are bridged, so messages sent to one broker will be received by devices connected to the other as well. But new devices should always use mqtt.munichmakerlab.de
• Port: 1883 (unencrypted), 8883 (SSL, using a CACert certificate)
• Anonymous read access to mumalab/#
• For write access, contact Matthias or Severin

RF power sockets

Switched via MQTT connected basestation. Send the following to mumalab/room/rcsockets:

type,house_code,device_code,action

with the options

• type - Type of RF sockets used, according to https://github.com/sui77/rc-switch/wiki/HowTo_OperateLowCostOutlets (which is missing type D). Only implemented types are "a" and "d" right now.
• house_code and device_code - Whatever is set on the socket as address
• action - 1 for switching on, 0 for switching off

Currently placed sockets

Identifier	Description	Switched on/off with the space status
a,11111,00001	Nebenraum door status	no
a,11111,00010	BobbyCar and light tube above common room	yes
a,11111,00011	Wall of Monitors (only screens, no orange pis). Also switches LED strip behind the screens	yes
