This is the list of MQTT Topics that are use by the various [[HackSpace_Instrumentation|HackSpace Instrumentation]] projects.
This is the list of [[Wikipedia:MQTT|MQTT]] Topics that are use by the various [[HackSpace_Instrumentation|HackSpace Instrumentation]] projects.
 
All of these are available on [[holly]], and most are available on [[JARVIS]] via an MQTT/[http://mosquitto.org/ mosquitto] bridge.


All topics should be prefixed with "nh/"

==Tools bookings==
This provides limited details of tool bookings made via [[HMS]]. When a booking is made from HMS, a push notification is received from google for the underlying google calendar, which results in a poll message being sent with the payload set to tool name that's been updated. The [https://github.com/NottingHack/instrumentation/blob/master/cpp/nh-tools-bookings.cpp nh-tools] process then downloads the ICAL formatted calendar from google, and publishes the now/next booking to the booking topic.

  },
  "next":{
      "display_time":"10:30",

}
For the <code>nownext</code> message payload, bookings which start more that 20hrs in the future are ignored to remove ambiguity in the time displayed.

=== Studio Display WC/Service Indicators ===
The topic <code>nh/StudioDisplay/Lamps</code> can be used for setting the status of the Studio Display WC and Service lamps. There are three lamps in total - two WC indicators, which can be lit green or red, and a Service indicator which can be lit red. Turning these lamps on or off can be done by sending a hex value to the MQTT topic. The following table defines what bits do what.

For example, to set WC1 to Green and illuminate all of the Service section, you'd get the bit pattern <code>0b11001000</code>, which in hex is <code>0xC8</code>.
=== Pager Transmitter (MB7PNH) ===
The hackspace has a pager transmitter, which is documented at [[Radio Group/Pager]]. Unfortunately this must only be used by those that have an amateur radio license (licensing is weird). There are a number of RICs which you can subscribe to without a license though. Ideas for "pager services" are welcome.

This is the list of MQTT Topics that are use by the various HackSpace Instrumentation projects.

All of these are available on holly, and most are available on JARVIS via an MQTT/mosquitto bridge.

All topics should be prefixed with "nh/"

STATUS

Topic Description Notes
nh/status/req Status Request topic "STATUS" message is sent out by nh-monitor
nh/status/res Status Reporting topic Used to respond to a request or just broadcast a new/change of state
nh/status/tool/{tool name} Tool current state report Current state of the tool (eg IN_USE, SIGNED_OFF) set by nh-tools

All clients should subscribe to the `nh/status/req` topic and listen for the message "STATUS"
Clients should respond on `nh/status/res` with their name and status.

Three states

  • Restart:
  • Running:
  • Terminated:

ie. "Running: MatrixMQTT"

Include the : and a space before the clients name,

The status of all running clients is logged and reported here https://hms.nottinghack.org.uk/instrumentation/status

Tools bookings

This provides limited details of tool bookings made via HMS. When a booking is made from HMS, a push notification is received from google for the underlying google calendar, which results in a poll message being sent with the payload set to tool name that's been updated. The nh-tools process then downloads the ICAL formatted calendar from google, and publishes the now/next booking to the booking topic.

Topic Description Notes
nh/bookings/<tool name>/nownext Now and next booking information for <tool name> Payload is JSON encoded, see below.
nh/bookings/poll Request to poll google for updated calendar data, then publish to nownext topic Payload is tool name

Example payload for nownext message: 

{
  "now":{
     "display_time":"now",
     "display_name":"<member name1>"
  },
  "next":{
     "display_time":"10:30",
     "display_name":"<member name2>"
  }
}

For the nownext message payload, bookings which start more that 20hrs in the future are ignored to remove ambiguity in the time displayed.

Network Devices

A count of the number of network devices currently connected (results of a minutely ARP scan).

Topic Description
nh/addr/known Number of known/fixed network devices (e.g. printers, VM's, etc).
nh/addr/unknown Number of unknown network devices (e.g. members laptops).

nh/llap/rx/XX LLAP message received XX is DEVID
nh/llap/messagebridge/send JSON to Send out a LLAP message Can also be sent broadcast on UDP 50141
nh/llap/messagebridge/listen JSON of LLAP message received Also broadcast on UDP 50140

LLAP Messages

Message Bridge

For the MessageBridge JSON details see:-
https://github.com/WirelessThings/WirelessThings-LaunchPad/blob/master/Documentation/ExampleJSONMessages.json

Lighting Automation

For more details see Lighting Automation/Control Software
Note the `set` and `sate` topics are detailed here for reference only since only the nh-lighting software running on queen should be the only thing to interact with them, custom projects wishing to interact with the light should use the web socket protocol exposed via nh-lighting on ws://queen:8181/lighting (subprotocol 'lighting')

Topic Description Notes
nh/li/{controllerName}/{channel}/set Lighting Command Only for channels 00-23 on v2 controllers and 00-31 on v3 controllers, Payload can be one of [ON, OFF, TOGGLE]
nh/li/{controllerName}/{channel}/state Lighting State Retained Topic! Current state of the channel [ON, OFF]
nh/li/{controllerName}/EM/Voltage V
nh/li/{controllerName}/EM/Current A
nh/li/{controllerName}/EM/Power Kw
nh/li/{controllerName}/EM/ReactivePower Var
nh/li/{controllerName}/EM/PowerFactor
nh/li/{controllerName}/EM/Frequency Hz
nh/li/{controllerName}/EM/TotalActivePower Kwh
nh/li/{controllerName}/EM/TotalReactivePower Kvarh

{channel}
00-31 represent the output channels, note only 00-23 on v2 controllers
I0-I7 are the local input channels Ixxyy are rs485 input channels. Where 'xx' is the (node id + 10) and 'yy' is the channel 00-15 (v3 controller only)

Fun things

Train Departures

cron job on jarvis runs every 5 minutes (as user asj) and pushes the stripped train departure board (currently only for Nottingham) to MQTT

Topic Description Notes
nh/tdb/{CRS} JSON Array Example for MAN [{"destination":"Blackpool North","std":"00:09","platform":"14","etd":"00:17"},... ]

Studio Display WC/Service Indicators

The topic nh/StudioDisplay/Lamps can be used for setting the status of the Studio Display WC and Service lamps. There are three lamps in total - two WC indicators, which can be lit green or red, and a Service indicator which can be lit red. Turning these lamps on or off can be done by sending a hex value to the MQTT topic. The following table defines what bits do what.

Topic Description Notes
nh/StudioDisplay/Lamps Hex value See bit descriptions below
nh/ElectronicsDisplay/Lamps Hex value See bit descriptions below
Bit Description
0 Nothing
1 Nothing
2 WC1 (Red)
3 WC1 (Green)
4 WC2 (Red)
5 WC2 (Green)
6 Service (Top and Bottom)
7 Service (Left and Right)

For example, to set WC1 to Green and illuminate all of the Service section, you'd get the bit pattern 0b11001000, which in hex is 0xC8.

Pager Transmitter (MB7PNH)

The hackspace has a pager transmitter, which is documented at Radio Group/Pager. Unfortunately this must only be used by those that have an amateur radio license (licensing is weird). There are a number of RICs which you can subscribe to without a license though. Ideas for "pager services" are welcome.
