# Energy Manager IoT
A Node.js library for efficient energy management in IoT devices through MQTT protocol.
**[📚 Full Documentation](https://jonhvmp.github.io/energy-manager-iot-docs)**
## Features
- Robust MQTT connectivity with automatic reconnection support
- Device management with unique IDs and flexible grouping
- Send commands to individual devices or groups (e.g., "sleep", "wake")
- Receive and store device status (e.g., battery level, power mode)
- Group analytics, such as average battery level and power mode distribution
- Full TypeScript support with strong typing
- Professional logging system with contextual tracking and correlation IDs
- Comprehensive error handling with categorized errors and severity levels
## Installation
```bash
npm install energy-manager-iot
```
## Usage Guide
### Initial Setup
1. Import the library:
```typescript
import { EnergyManager, DeviceType, CommandType } from 'energy-manager-iot';
```
2. Create a manager instance:
```typescript
const manager = new EnergyManager({
topicPrefix: 'home/devices/', // Prefix for MQTT topics
mqttOptions: { clientId: 'my-application' },
statusInterval: 60000 // Status check every 60 seconds
});
```
3. Connect to the MQTT broker:
```typescript
await manager.connect('mqtt://localhost:1883', { username: 'user', password: 'password' });
```
### Device Registration and Management
- Register devices:
```typescript
manager.registerDevice('sensor1', 'Temperature Sensor', DeviceType.SENSOR, {
reportingInterval: 60, // In seconds
sleepThreshold: 20 // Enter sleep mode when battery below 20%
});
```
- Create groups and add devices:
```typescript
manager.createGroup('living-room');
manager.addDeviceToGroup('sensor1', 'living-room');
```
- Send commands to a device or group:
```typescript
await manager.sendCommand('sensor1', CommandType.SET_REPORTING, { interval: 300 });
await manager.sleepGroup('living-room', 3600); // Hibernate the group for 1 hour
```
### Monitoring and Events
The library emits useful events for monitoring:
```typescript
// Listen to events:
manager.on('connected', () => console.log('Connected to MQTT broker'));
manager.on('statusUpdate', (deviceId, status) => console.log(`Status for ${deviceId}:`, status));
manager.on('deviceOffline', (deviceId) => console.log(`Device ${deviceId} went offline`));
manager.on('commandSent', (deviceId, command) => console.log(`Command sent to ${deviceId}:`, command));
```
- To finalize, disconnect:
```typescript
await manager.disconnect();
```
## Examples
Check the `/examples` folder for detailed usage examples:
- `basic-usage.ts`: Basic usage example.
- `group-management.ts`: Advanced group management.
- `device-simulator.ts`: IoT device simulator.
- `advanced-usage.ts`: Advanced example with monitoring and group commands.
**Additional Examples**
- Run `npm run example:simulator` to simulate devices and see EnergyManager in action.
## API
### Main Class
#### `EnergyManager`
The main entry point of the library.
```typescript
// Create instance
const manager = new EnergyManager(options);
// Available options:
interface EnergyManagerOptions {
topicPrefix?: string; // MQTT topic prefix (default: 'device/')
mqttOptions?: MqttHandlerOptions; // MQTT client options
autoReconnect?: boolean; // Auto reconnection (default: true)
statusInterval?: number; // Status check interval (ms) (default: 60000)
}
```
### Main Methods
| Method | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `connect(brokerUrl, options?)` | Connect to the MQTT broker |
| `disconnect()` | Disconnect from the MQTT broker |
| `registerDevice(id, name, type, config?, groups?)` | Register a new device |
| `sendCommand(deviceId, command, payload?)` | Send command to a device |
| `sendCommandToGroup(groupName, command, payload?)` | Send command to a group |
| `getDevice(id)` | Get information about a device |
| `createGroup(name)` | Create a device group |
| `addDeviceToGroup(deviceId, groupName)` | Add a device to a group |
| `getGroupStatistics(groupName)` | Get group statistics |
### Convenience Methods
| Method | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `sleepDevice(deviceId, duration?)` | Put device in energy saving mode |
| `wakeDevice(deviceId)` | Wake device from energy saving mode |
| `sleepGroup(groupName, duration?)` | Put group in energy saving mode |
| `wakeGroup(groupName)` | Wake group from energy saving mode |
### Events
The `EnergyManager` class extends `EventEmitter`, allowing you to receive notifications:
```typescript
// Listen to events
manager.on('connected', () => console.log('Connected'));
manager.on('disconnected', () => console.log('Disconnected'));
manager.on('statusUpdate', (deviceId, status) => console.log(`Status: ${deviceId}`, status));
manager.on('deviceOffline', (deviceId) => console.log(`Device offline: ${deviceId}`));
manager.on('commandSent', (deviceId, command) => console.log(`Command sent: ${deviceId}`, command));
```
## Protocols and Standards
### Status Format
Devices should publish their status in JSON format:
```json
{
"batteryLevel": 75,
"powerMode": "normal",
"connectionStatus": "online",
"firmwareVersion": "1.2.3",
"signalStrength": -67
}
```
### Command Format
Commands are sent in the format:
```json
{
"type": "sleep",
"payload": { "duration": 3600 },
"timestamp": 1634567890123,
"requestId": "req_1634567890123_abc123"
}
```
## Advanced Logging
The library includes a professional logging system that helps with debugging, monitoring, and diagnostics.
```typescript
import { Logger } from 'energy-manager-iot';
// Module-specific logger
const deviceLogger = Logger.child('devices');
// Log with correlation ID for tracking related operations
const operationLogger = deviceLogger.withCorrelationId('op-123456');
operationLogger.info('Starting device registration');
// Different log levels
deviceLogger.debug('Detailed information for troubleshooting');
deviceLogger.info('Normal operational messages');
deviceLogger.warn('Warning condition');
deviceLogger.error('Error condition', errorObject);
```
[Advanced Logging Documentation](./docs/logging.md)
## Error Handling
The library provides a comprehensive error handling system:
```typescript
import { EnergyManagerError, ErrorType, ErrorSeverity } from 'energy-manager-iot';
try {
// Some operation
} catch (error) {
throw new EnergyManagerError(
'Failed to connect to device',
ErrorType.CONNECTION,
{ deviceId: 'temp-01' },
ErrorSeverity.HIGH
);
}
```
## Security Considerations
- Use TLS/SSL (mqtts://) in production environments.
- Configure authentication and access control in the MQTT broker.
- Validate command payloads to prevent malicious information.
- Enable logging in production for security audit trails.
