Handles any stream communication with sensor gateway

Usage

var mouth = new Mouth(stream);
mouth.on('addon', function (addon) {

    // handle addon data
});

Constructor

Pass in a readable and writable stream to the constructor. This should be a serial port or ethernet stream connected to an arduino gateway. Used for reading and writing data to the mysensor gateway.

Events

• addon - emits addon object when an addon registers itself with the gateway. The signature is function (addon) An addon object has the following structure:

  {
      "boardId": int,
      "addonId": int,
      "type": string,
  }

• log - emits when a board sends a message to log. The signature is function (log) A log object has the following structure:

  {
      "boardId": int,
      "message": string,
      "time": date
  }

• name - emits when a board sends the sketch name. The signature is function (sketch) A sketch object has the following structure:

  {
      "boardId": int,
      "name": string
  }

• version - emits when a board sends the sketch version. The signature is function (version) A version object has the following structure:

  {
      "boardId": int,
      "version": string
  }

• battery - emits when a board sends a battery level. The signature is function (battery) A battery object has the following structure:

  {
      "boardId": int,
      "level": float
  }

• protocol - emits when the gateway records the protocol type. The signature is function (protocol)

• reading - emits when a sensor sends data to the gateway. The signature is function (reading) A reading object has the following structure:

  {
      "boardId": int,
      "addonId": int,
      "value": string/bool,
      "type": string,
      "time": date
  }

sendCommand(command, [callback])

To send a command use a command object like the following:

{
    boardId,
    addonId,
    type,
    value
}
