node-red-contrib-flic-buttons-hci
A Node-RED node to interact with the flic.io BLE buttons.
This node requires the fliclib-linux-hci daemon (installed on a Raspberry Pi or similar) to handle the low level communication with the buttons.
Buttons need to be paired before you can use this node at the moment. See fliclib-linux-hci for more info on this.
The node takes 2 config parameters
- Host - this is the host running the flic.io daemon process, defaults to localhost
- Port - the port for the daemon process, defaults to 5551
If Node-RED is installed on the same host there is no configuration.
The node emits a msg.payload that looks like this
{ "deviceId": "00:ee:dd:77:77:33", "clickType": "ButtonSingleClick", "wasQueued": false, "timeDiff": 0 }
msg.topic is set to flic/ with the deviceId of the button appended to the end
