Orvibo HTTP Server

A web interface and API for controlling B25 and S25 wifi sockets.

Features

UI

A very simple interface:

API

Endpoint	Method	Description
/logs	GET	Retrieve the most recent 100 logs in reverse order.
/sockets	GET	Retrieve a list of sockets.
/sockets/:uid	GET	Retrieve the socket identified by the supplied UID (mac address).
/sockets/:uid/:state	GET	Change the state of the socket. Valid states include: on, off, toggle.

Setup

Note: you must use the Homemate App to associate each socket with your Wifi network. Once connected to your network you can control each device using this service.

Step 1 - Redirect homemate traffic to server

In order to control the Orvibo devices you must intercept the traffic destined for Homemates servers. The easiest way to accomplish this is to hijack DNS for their domain homemate.orvibo.com using Dnsmasq. Note that Dnsmasq must be running on your router or gateway. Most custom router firmwares including DD-WRT and Tomato support Dnsmasq. Apply the following configuration:

# Set primary and secondary DNS servers
server=8.8.8.8
server=8.8.4.4

# Override IP for homemate.orvibo.com
address=/homemate.orvibo.com/192.168.0.10

Step 2 - Retrieve the Orvibo key

Retrieve the Orvibo key using the script provided here. This key is needed in the next step.

Step 3 - Install, configure, and start service

• Install NodeJS 6.X or higher.
• Checkout this repository.
• Run npm install to install the dependencies.
• Copy the config.json.sample to config.json and update the file as necessary.
• Run node index.js to start the service.
