/!\ Aln-NodeJS is deprecated! /!\

Aln-NodeJS is no longer maintained, and barely unit tested. Please consider using Aln-Symfony instead!

Aln-NodeJs

Aln-NodeJs is a replacement API to communicate directly with the HoneyGuaridan S25 API.

The original API is absolutly not secure, so it needed a full replacement. (How anyone could feed my cat)

Usage

Overall usage

The api is callable through the routes prefixed by api

Example: http(s)://myhost/api/anything

Every incoming request shall have a few headers informations:

Key	Value
Accept	application/json
Content-Type	application/json

Available API Endpoints

Verb	URL	Parameters	Effect
POST	/api/user/login	{ email: String?, appleId: String, identityToken: base64, authorizationCode: base64 }	Log a user in with Sign in with Apple
POST	/api/user/logout	-	Destroy the current user session.
POST	/api/user/check	{ appleId: String }	Check if the current session correspond to a logged-in user
POST	/api/feeder/claim	{ identifier: String }	Claim the ownership of a feeder, after it's been connected to the API for the first time. This request must be sent from the same network the feeder is connected to.
GET	/api/feeder/{id}	-	Check if the feeder is currently reachable.
PUT	/api/feeder/{id}	{ name: String }	Change the feeder name
POST	/api/feeder/{id}/feed	{ quantity: Int }	Trigger a meal.
PUT	/api/feeder/{id}/quantity	{ quantity: Int }	Change the feeding amount when pressing the machine button.
GET	/api/feeder/{id}/planning	-	Get the last setted planning on the machine.
PUT	/api/feeder/{id}/planning	{ meals: [{ time: { hours: Int, minutes: Int }, quantity: Int, enabled: Bool }]	Set a new planning in the machine.

Installation

NodeJS

This project has been build with NodeJs 9.5.0 You may run this project on a Raspberry Pi, or something that can connect with your Feeder.

To install nodeJS on a Raspberry Pi:

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/audstanley/NodeJs-Raspberry-Pi/master/Install-Node.sh | sudo bash;

Clone and install dependencies

git clone https://github.com/Dean151/Aln-NodeJs.git
cd Aln-NodeJs
npm install

Configuration file

# Copy the example
cp config.example.js config.js

# Then edit the data to make it your own
nano config.js

Starting the process with PM2

npm install pm2@latest -g
pm2 start main.js --name alnpet

Nginx reverse proxy to make things work

Install nginx

sudo apt-get install nginx

Make rights correct for pi user

$ sudo usermod -a -G www-data pi
$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
$ sudo chmod -R g+rwX /var/www

Then configure the reverse proxy to work along with NodeJS

sudo mv /etc/nginx/default /etc/nginx/default.orig
sudo nano /etc/nginx/default

/etc/nginx/default

server {
  listen 80 default_server;
  listen [::]:80 default_server;

  root /var/www/html;

  location /api {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
  }
}

Now reload nginx configuration

sudo nginx -s reload

The API should be available at your Raspberry Pi IP. We now need to connect the feeder to it!

Note: it is recommended that you configure HTTPS connexion via TLS (LetsEncrypt would do that for you).

Configure the cat feeder

First, identify the local IP of your feeder, using the connected devices table from your router interface.

Then, browse to this IP in your navigator (http://192.168.1.x) and enter the username and password :

username: admin
password: admin

Don't touch any of the settings without knowing exactly what you're talking about. You may want to change the language from chinese to english in the top right corner.

We just want to change the URL the feeder will talk to.
