Muzzley-BelkinWeMo

This is a demo using Muzzley - http://www.muzzley.com - to interface with a Belkin WeMo switch using wemoNode framework;

Video: http://youtu.be/8wsVeSUaeek

Purpose

This demo:

• single purpose is to demonstrate how to interface with the Belkin WeMo using your smartphone through the cloud or locally;
• it's up to you to have the creativity of new interacting scenarios;
• you can create your own mobile interfaces (refer to muzzley.com documentation);
• you might use Muzzley to create logic to switch on / off the WeMo without a smartphone interface (eg: trigger the switch based on some remote logic);

Testing Environment

The demo was put together with the following hardware:

• Belkin WeMo switch (locally configured on your Wifi Network) - you can extend this demo and use Muzzley to configure the WeMo device through the wemoNode framework;
• Smartphone running Muzzley App (iOS or Android);
• A raspberry pi or any other computer running node.js;

This demo was developed to support:

• Muzzley human interface for the Internet of Things - http://www.muzzley.com/

Getting started

Clone this demo from this git repo

git clone https://github.com/djsb/muzzley-BelkinWeMo.git

Usage

Installing Packages, using the dependencies listed in the current directory's package.json

npm install

Configuring

This demo requires you to do 2 steps before using it:

• have the Belkin WeMo connected to your WiFi network - don't worry, it will be auto detected;
• create an unique App Token on http://www.muzzley.com
  1. register; 2) My Apps; 3) Create App and save the Generated Token for next step; 4) Edit muzzley-BelkinWeMo.js file and change the TOKEN var;

note: if you don't want a dynamic activity - the code you use to pair - you can setup a static activity on muzzley.com selfcare and add it to the Muzzley-BelkinWeMo.js

Running

1) From the shell type:

node muzzley-BelkinWeMo.js

2) Launch on your smartphone the Muzzley APP (available on app store and Google Play);

3) Use the Muzzley App to Pair with the Code generated by the muzzley-BelkinWemo.js

4) Interact!

TODO

Some ideas to extend this demo based on existing Muzzley API:

• Access control based on user identification;
• Support the first setup of the Belkin WeMo - where it is not already connected to the WiFi;
• Create a custom interface using Muzzley Custom Virtual Interfaces for the smartphone;
• Add a first running configuration interface;
