Example

Simulating the use case where MQTT Broker is communicating with a browser and an example_device ( here a simulated camera ) :

• Native Browser and Broker protocol is AloesClient aloesClient_topic : +userId/+collection/+method/#modelId aloesClient_payload : Object

• Native example_device protocol is AloesLight aloesLight_topic : +prefixedDevEui/+method/+omaObjectId/+nodeId/+sensorId/+omaResourceId aloesLight_payload : String

• verifying which client is connecting and which accesses are granted

• detecting patterns from MQTT packet.topic & packet.payload

if {aloesLight_topic} detected ( received from example_device ), {aloesLight_payload} :

-> decoding aloesLight
-> sending `{aloesClient_payload}` to browser

if {aloesClient_topic} detected ( received from browser ), {aloesClient_payload} :

-> encoding to aloesLight
-> sending `{aloesLight_payload}` to example_device

• Run this example ( with mqtt.js cli or any other mqtt client ) to publish a camera capture request and subscribe to the stream response.

$ npm run example

Example receiving a camera capture :

• by mocking a device MQTT subscription ({aloesLight_topic})

$ mqtt sub -t '2894413-out/1/3349/#' -h 'localhost' -p 1883 -u '5c2657ad36bb1052f87cf417' -P 'ACSk0JG16GGBudI1CW4fYIYeVsUGTFOpyXxTckamKdznED1CGEBcYLLm7SrCNo6g'

• by mocking a browser MQTT subscription ({aloesClient_topic} )

$ mqtt sub -t '5c24e1514a603a651d1ddfd5/Sensor/#' -h 'localhost' -p 1883 -u '5c24e1514a603a651d1ddfd5' -P 'DregdyAV9eE5WLQtUl82mVh6uzcYSsJjXx0Kf8TcXB7SSYRpysEJ1OfPuWUlNiyZ'

Example requesting a camera capture :

• by mocking a device MQTT packet ({aloesLight_topic}{aloesLight_payload})

$ mqtt pub -t '2894413-in/1/3349/0/2/5911' -h 'localhost' -p 1883 -m "1" -u '5c2657ad36bb1052f87cf417' -P 'ACSk0JG16GGBudI1CW4fYIYeVsUGTFOpyXxTckamKdznED1CGEBcYLLm7SrCNo6g'

• by mocking a browser MQTT packet ({aloesClient_topic}{aloesClient_payload} )

$ mqtt pub -t '5c24e1514a603a651d1ddfd5/Sensor/PUT/5c62c4de3c6d59223afdf891' -h 'localhost' -p 1883 -m '{"id": "5c62c4de3c6d59223afdf891","name": "Bitmap", "type": 3349, "devEui": "2894413", "resources": { "5750": "app-name", "5910": null, "5911": true, "5912": "" }, "value": "1", "resource": 5911, "frameCounter": 248, "transportProtocol": "aloesLight", "transportProtocolVersion": "1", "messageProtocol": "aloesLight", "messageProtocolVersion": "1", "nativeSensorId": "2", "nativeNodeId": "0", "nativeType": 3349, "nativeResource": 5910, "accountId": "5c24e1514a603a651d1ddfd5", "deviceId": "5c2657ad36bb1052f87cf417", "inPrefix": "-in", "outPrefix": "-out"}' -u '5c24e1514a603a651d1ddfd5' -P 'DregdyAV9eE5WLQtUl82mVh6uzcYSsJjXx0Kf8TcXB7SSYRpysEJ1OfPuWUlNiyZ'
