Engine comes packaged with some handy helper functions that make interfacing with the wide variety of common IoT protocols easier.
Functions and Constants
These can be included into your driver class
include ::Orchestrator::Constants
Helper
Type
Description
On, Down, Open
true
Constants that can make code more readable
Off, Up, Close, Short
false
Constants that can make code more readable
in_range(input_number, max, min = 0)
returns a number in the range
if input exceeds the limits, the limit is returned
is_affirmative? value
returns true if value is affirmative
values such as: true 'yes' :On
is_negatory? value
returns true if value is negative
values such as: false 'no' :Inactive
The Constants include module also contains Configuration Helpers

# clear the keepalive ping
schedule.clear

@ws.text "hello"
# or json format etc
@ws.text({
some: "message",
count: 234

@ws.binary("binstring".bytes)
# or
@ws.binary hex_to_byte("0xdeadbeef")

# NOTE:: you must use wss:// when using port 443 (TLS connection)
@ws = Protocols::Websocket.new(self, "ws://#{remote_address}/path/to/ws/endpoint")
# @ws.add_extension # https://github.com/faye/websocket-extensions-ruby
# @ws.set_header(name, value) # Sets a custom header to be sent as part of the handshake
@ws.start

@ws.parse(data)

Telnet
require 'protocols/telnet'
class TelnetClient
def on_load
new_telnet_client
# Telnet client returns only relevant data for buffering
config before_buffering: proc { |data|
@telnet.buffer data
}

end
end

KNX
BACnet
OAuth
require 'protocols/oauth'
class HttpClient
# =====================================
# Hook into HTTP request via middleware
# All requests will be sent with OAuth
# =====================================
def on_update
connected
end
# This is called directly after on_load.
# Middleware is not available until connected
def connected
@oauth = Protocols::OAuth.new({
key: setting(:consumer_key),

})

SNMP
require 'protocols/snmp'
class SnmpClient
include ::Orchestrator::Constants
udp_port 161
def on_unload
@client.close
end
# This is called directly after on_load.
# Middleware is not available until connected

# the proxy uses fibers to provide this to the NETSNMP client
data
end
end
SOAP Services
Probably the easiest way to use these services at the moment via a Logic module. There are a number of supported ruby gems:
Savon usage:
# Ensure we are not blocking the IO reactor loop
require 'httpi/adapter/libuv'
require 'savon'
HTTPI.adapter = :libuv
# Make requests as per the savon documentation
client = Savon.client(wsdl: 'https://aca.im/service.wsdl')
logger.debug { "Available operations: #{client.operations}" }
Handsoap usage:
# Ensure we are not blocking the IO reactor loop
require 'handsoap/http/drivers/libuv_driver'
Handsoap.http_driver = :libuv
# Make requests as per the handsoap documentation
Wake on LAN
Wake on LAN is available to drivers of all types
# Supports any string with the correct number of hex digits
# as well as common formats (these are some examples)
mac_address_string = '0x62f81d4b6f00'
mac_address_string = '62:f8:1d:4b:6f:00'
mac_address_string = '62-f8-1d-4b-6f-00'
# Defaults to broadcast address `'255.255.255.255'`
wake_device(mac_address_string)
# You can define a VLan gateway for a directed broadcast (most common in enterprise)
wake_device(mac_address_string, '192.168.3.1')
ICMP (ping)
Uses the operating systems ping utility to perform a connectivity check.
# perform the ping
ping = ::UV::Ping.new(remote_address)
ping.ping # true / false to indicate success / failure
# check out the ping results
ping.pingable # true / false to indicate success / failure
ping.ip # IP pinged (remote_address can be a domain name)
ping.exception # any error messages
ping.warning # any warning messages
