-
20
- ## ALTERNATIVES
21
-
22
- An [MQTT](https://mqtt.org/) server with an appropriate SK client plugin. There are several MQTT plugin clients in the Signalk appstore.
23
-
24
- Advantages of this plugin over an MQTT server and client plugin are:
25
- * simplicity of setup
26
- * reduced overhead on server
27
- * one less piece of software to maintain on your boat-puter
28
- * ease of rolling your own sensor classes

-
30
- The key advantages of an MQTT setup is comprehensive support for BT devices and non-Linux platforms.

- You'll first need to know what data your sensor produces and the means by which it provides data (GATT Server or advertisement) and the details thereof.<br><br>
121
-
122
- The first approach is to see if the device manufacturer has documented this. Not all do. Don't worry if you can't find OEM docs, it's likely someone on the internet has figured out your device's whys and wherefores for you already. Google that thang. <br><br>

- #### Actual coding

-
141
- Below is a simple Device class for the Xiaomi thermometer with stock firmware. The code demonstrates the core responsibilities of a Bluetooth sensor device class in the BT-Sensor-plugin's framework:
142
-
143
- * resides in the sensor_classes subdirectory
144
- * extends the BTSensor class
145
- * provides metadata for the device's various data points (the static metadata class member)
146
- * overrides the BTSensor::connect() and disconnect() methods
147
- * emits values for each data point
148
- * exports the class

-

- this.emit("voltage",buffer.readUInt16LE(3)/1000);

-
172
- async connect() {
173
- await this.device.connect()
174
- var gattServer = await this.device.gatt()
175
- var gattService = await gattServer.getPrimaryService("ebe0ccb0-7a0a-4b0c-8a1a-6ff2997da3a6")
176
- var gattCharacteristic = await gattService.getCharacteristic("ebe0ccc1-7a0a-4b0c-8a1a-6ff2997da3a6")

- }
188
- module.exports=LYWSD03MMC</pre>
189
-
190
- Most of the work is done in the connect() method. In this case, the connect() method creates a connection to the device:
191
- <pre>await this.device.connect()</pre>
192
- Then it gets the device's gattServer and primary service:
193
- <pre>
194
- var gattServer = await this.device.gatt()
195
- var gattService = await gattServer.getPrimaryService("ebe0ccb0-7a0a-4b0c-8a1a-6ff2997da3a6")
196
- </pre>
197
- Then, it requests the device's "characteristic" that will send us data.
198
- <pre>var gattCharacteristic = await gattService.getCharacteristic("ebe0ccc1-7a0a-4b0c-8a1a-6ff2997da3a6")</pre>
199
- Then it asks the characteristic for notifications when its value changes.
200
- <pre>await gattCharacteristic.startNotifications();</pre>
201
- Then most importantly it emits the values when the data has changed:
202
- <pre>gattCharacteristic.on('valuechanged', buffer => {
203
- this.emitValues(buffer)
204
- })</pre>
205
- In this implementation, the emitValues member function does the work of parsing the buffer and emitting the values.
206
- <pre>
207
- emitValues(buffer){
208
- this.emit("temp",((buffer.readInt16LE(0))/100) + 273.1);
209
- this.emit("humidity",buffer.readUInt8(2)/100);
210
- this.emit("voltage",buffer.readUInt16LE(3)/1000);
211
- }
212
- </pre>
213
- NOTE: If you guessed that the plugin listens to changes to device objects and then publishes the deltas, you guessed right.
214
-
215
- ### All that said
216
- The problem with Gatt Server devices is they stay connected and eat up a lot of energy, draining your device's batteries. You can deactivate the device from the config screen when it's not in use or in this case you can flash the device with custom firmware that changes the device to a broadcast device that advertises its data obviating the need for a battery-draining connection. In the case of Xiaomi LYWSD03MMC you can flash it with some very useful software called [ATC](https://github.com/atc1441/ATC_MiThermometer?tab=readme-ov-file) </pre>
217
-
218
- Below is an example of a BTSensor subclass that uses the advertising protocol to get the data from a flashed Xiaomi thermometer.
219
-
220
- <pre>const BTSensor = require("../BTSensor");
221
- const LYWSD03MMC = require('./LYWSD03MMC.js')
222
- class ATC extends BTSensor{
223
-
224
- constructor(device){
225
- super(device)
226
- }
227
-
228
- static metadata = LYWSD03MMC.metadata
229
-
230
- connect() {
231
- const cb = async (propertiesChanged) => {
232
- try{
233
- this.device.getServiceData().then((data)=>{
234
- //TBD Check if the service ID is universal across ATC variants
235
- const buff=data['0000181a-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb'];
236
- this.emit("temp",((buff.readInt16LE(6))/100) + 273.1);
237
- this.emit("humidity",buff.readUInt16LE(8)/10000);
238
- this.emit("voltage",buff.readUInt16LE(10)/1000);
239
- })
240
- }
241
- catch (error) {
242
- throw new Error(`Unable to read data from ${util.inspect(device)}: ${error}` )
243
- }
244
- }
245
- cb();
246
- this.device.helper.on('PropertiesChanged', cb)
247
- }
248
- }
249
- module.exports=ATC</pre>
250
-
251
- The big difference here is in the connect() method. All it does is wait on propertiesChanged and when that event occurs, the device object parses the buffer and emits the data. NOTE: Both classes have the same metadata, so the ATC class "borrows" the metadata from the LYWSD03MMC class.<br>
252
-
253
- ## LET US KNOW
254
-
255
- When you're done working on your class and satisified that it's functioning properly, commit and request a merge (more git talk).<br>
256
-
257
- We love to see new sensor classes!

+ The first approach is to see if the device manufacturer has documented this. Not all do. Don't worry if you can't find OEM docs, it's likely someone on the internet has figured out your device's whys and wherefores for you already. Google that thang. <br><br>
19
+
20
+ If you're still coming up empty, there are any number of tools you can use to examine the Bluetooth data stream of your device. <br><br>
21
+
22
+ * bluetoothctl (installed with Bluez on Linux)
23
+ * [NRF Connect](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nordicsemi.android.mcp&hl=en_US)
24
+
25
+ With these tools you can see what data your device advertises, and what data it provides via a connection to its GATT Server. <br><br>

+
29
+ #### Get the code
30
+
31
+ To get the code you'll first need to clone this repository then create a branch. That's git talk. Google it if you don't know what that means.<br>
32
+
33
+ Once you've done that you're ready for...
34
+
35
+ #### Actual coding
36
+
37
+ Below is a simple Device class for the Xiaomi thermometer with stock firmware. The code demonstrates the core responsibilities of a Bluetooth sensor device class in the BT-Sensor-plugin's framework:
38
+
39
+ * resides in the sensor_classes subdirectory
40
+ * extends the BTSensor class
41
+ * provides metadata for the device's various data points (the static metadata class member)
42
+ * overrides the BTSensor::connect() and disconnect() methods
43
+ * emits values for each data point
44
+ * exports the class
45
+
46
+ <pre>const BTSensor = require("../BTSensor");
47
+
48
+ class LYWSD03MMC extends BTSensor{
49
+
50
+ static needsScannerOn(){
51
+ return false
52
+ }
53
+ static metadata = new Map()
54
+ .set('temp',{unit:'K', description: 'temperature'})
55
+ .set('humidity',{unit:'ratio', description: 'humidity'})
56
+ .set('voltage',{unit:'V', description: 'sensor battery voltage'})
57
+
58
+ constructor(device){
59
+ super(device)
60
+ }
61
+
62
+ emitValues(buffer){
63
+ this.emit("temp",((buffer.readInt16LE(0))/100) + 273.1);
64
+ this.emit("humidity",buffer.readUInt8(2)/100);
65
+ this.emit("voltage",buffer.readUInt16LE(3)/1000);
66
+ }
67
+
68
+ async connect() {
69
+ await this.device.connect()
70
+ var gattServer = await this.device.gatt()
71
+ var gattService = await gattServer.getPrimaryService("ebe0ccb0-7a0a-4b0c-8a1a-6ff2997da3a6")
72
+ var gattCharacteristic = await gattService.getCharacteristic("ebe0ccc1-7a0a-4b0c-8a1a-6ff2997da3a6")
73
+ this.emitValues(await gattCharacteristic.readValue())
74
+ await gattCharacteristic.startNotifications();
75
+ gattCharacteristic.on('valuechanged', buffer => {
76
+ this.emitValues(buffer)
77
+ })
78
+ }
79
+ async disconnect(){
80
+ super.disconnect()
81
+ await this.device.disconnect()
82
+ }
83
+ }
84
+ module.exports=LYWSD03MMC</pre>
85
+
86
+ Most of the work is done in the connect() method. In this case, the connect() method creates a connection to the device:
87
+ <pre>await this.device.connect()</pre>
88
+ Then it gets the device's gattServer and primary service:
89
+ <pre>
90
+ var gattServer = await this.device.gatt()
91
+ var gattService = await gattServer.getPrimaryService("ebe0ccb0-7a0a-4b0c-8a1a-6ff2997da3a6")
92
+ </pre>
93
+ Then, it requests the device's "characteristic" that will send us data.
94
+ <pre>var gattCharacteristic = await gattService.getCharacteristic("ebe0ccc1-7a0a-4b0c-8a1a-6ff2997da3a6")</pre>
95
+ Then it asks the characteristic for notifications when its value changes.
96
+ <pre>await gattCharacteristic.startNotifications();</pre>
97
+ Then most importantly it emits the values when the data has changed:
98
+ <pre>gattCharacteristic.on('valuechanged', buffer => {
99
+ this.emitValues(buffer)
100
+ })</pre>
101
+ In this implementation, the emitValues member function does the work of parsing the buffer and emitting the values.
102
+ <pre>
103
+ emitValues(buffer){
104
+ this.emit("temp",((buffer.readInt16LE(0))/100) + 273.1);
105
+ this.emit("humidity",buffer.readUInt8(2)/100);
106
+ this.emit("voltage",buffer.readUInt16LE(3)/1000);
107
+ }
108
+ </pre>
109
+ NOTE: If you guessed that the plugin listens to changes to device objects and then publishes the deltas, you guessed right.
110
+
111
+ ### All that said
112
+ The problem with Gatt Server devices is they stay connected and eat up a lot of energy, draining your device's batteries. You can deactivate the device from the config screen when it's not in use or in this case you can flash the device with custom firmware that changes the device to a broadcast device that advertises its data obviating the need for a battery-draining connection. In the case of Xiaomi LYWSD03MMC you can flash it with some very useful software called [ATC](https://github.com/atc1441/ATC_MiThermometer?tab=readme-ov-file) </pre>
113
+
114
+ Below is an example of a BTSensor subclass that uses the advertising protocol to get the data from a flashed Xiaomi thermometer.
115
+
116
+ <pre>const BTSensor = require("../BTSensor");
117
+ const LYWSD03MMC = require('./LYWSD03MMC.js')
118
+ class ATC extends BTSensor{
119
+
120
+ constructor(device){
121
+ super(device)
122
+ }
123
+
124
+ static metadata = LYWSD03MMC.metadata
125
+
126
+ connect() {
127
+ const cb = async (propertiesChanged) => {
128
+ try{
129
+ this.device.getServiceData().then((data)=>{
130
+ //TBD Check if the service ID is universal across ATC variants
131
+ const buff=data['0000181a-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb'];
132
+ this.emit("temp",((buff.readInt16LE(6))/100) + 273.1);
133
+ this.emit("humidity",buff.readUInt16LE(8)/10000);
134
+ this.emit("voltage",buff.readUInt16LE(10)/1000);
135
+ })
136
+ }
137
+ catch (error) {
138
+ throw new Error(`Unable to read data from ${util.inspect(device)}: ${error}` )
139
+ }
140
+ }
141
+ cb();
142
+ this.device.helper.on('PropertiesChanged', cb)
143
+ }
144
+ }
145
+ module.exports=ATC</pre>
146
+
147
+ The big difference here is in the connect() method. All it does is wait on propertiesChanged and when that event occurs, the device object parses the buffer and emits the data. NOTE: Both classes have the same metadata, so the ATC class "borrows" the metadata from the LYWSD03MMC class.<br>
148
+
149
+ ## LET US KNOW
150
+
151
+ When you're done working on your class and satisified that it's functioning properly, commit and request a merge (more git talk).<br>
152
+
153
+ We love to see new sensor classes!
