Overview

OMA Lightweight M2M (LWM2M) is a resource constrained device management protocol relies on CoAP. And CoAP is an application layer protocol that allows devices to communicate with each other RESTfully over the Internet.

coap-shepherd, coap-node and lwm2m-bs-server modules aim to provide a simple way to build and manage a LWM2M machine network.

coap-shepherd net

LWM2M Client: coap-node

  • It is an implementation of LWM2M Client managed by a coap-shepherd Server.
  • It follows most parts of LWM2M specification to meet the requirements of a machine network and devices management.
  • It works well with Leshan.
  • Support mulitple servers, factory bootstrap and client initiated bootstrap.
  • It uses smartobject as its fundamental of resource organizing on devices. smartobject can help you create smart objects with IPSO data model, and it also provides a scheme to help you abstract your hardware into smart objects. You may like to use smartobject to create many plugins for your own hardware or modules, i.e., temperature sensor, humidity sensor, light control. Here is a tutorual of how to plan resources with smartobject.

Installation

$ npm install coap-node --save


Usage

Client-side example (the following example is how you use coap-node on a machine node):

  • Step 1: Resources initialzation.
var SmartObject = require('smartobject');

// initialize Resources that follow IPSO definition
var so = new SmartObject();

// initialize your Resources
// oid = 'temperature', iid = 0
so.init('temperature', 0, {
    sensorValue: 21,
    units: 'C'
});

// oid = 'lightCtrl', iid = 0
so.init('lightCtrl', 0, {
    onOff: false
});
  • Step 2: Client device initialzation.
var CoapNode = require('coap-node');

// Instantiate a machine node with a client name and your smart object
var cnode = new CoapNode('my_first_node', so);

cnode.on('registered', function () {
    // If the registration procedure completes successfully, 'registered' will be fired

    // after registered, start your application
});

// register to a Server with its ip and port
cnode.register('192.168.0.77', 5683, function (err, rsp) {
    console.log(rsp);      // { status: '2.05' }
});

Server-side example (please go to coap-shepherd document for details):

var cnode = cserver.find('my_first_node');

cnode.read('/temperature/0/sensorValue', function (err, rsp) {
    console.log(rsp);      // { status: '2.05', data: 21 }
});

cnode.write('/lightCtrl/0/onOff', true, function (err, rsp) {
    console.log(rsp);      // { status: '2.04' }
});
