peer-upnp

peer-upnp is a Node.js module implementing the UPnP protocol as described in the UPnP Device Architecture specification

Setup

• use npm install peer-upnp to install the module.
• run binary light example:
  1. use node node_modules/peer-upnp/test/binary-light-device.js to create and advertise a UPnP BinaryLight Device with SwitchPower service
  2. use node node_modules/peer-upnp/test/binary-light-client.js that discovers BinaryLight devices and uses SwitchPower Service to control the light.
• or run the other example using node node_modules/peer-upnp/test/upnp-test.js to discover UPnP services on the network.

Usage

The following example shows the discovery and binding process of UPnP devices and services.

var upnp = require("peer-upnp");
var http = require("http");
var server = http.createServer();
var PORT = 8080;
server.listen(PORT);
// Peer is an event emitter
var peer = upnp.createPeer({
	prefix: "/upnp",
	server: server
}).on("ready",function(peer){
	console.log("ready");
	// listen to urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:SwitchPower:1 services
	peer.on("urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:SwitchPower:1",function(service){
		console.log("service "+service.serviceType+" found");
		service.on("disappear",function(service){
			console.log("service "+service.serviceType+" disappeared");
		});
		// Bind to service to be able to call service actions
		service.bind(function(service){
			// Call UPnP action SetTarget with parameter NewTargetValue
			service.SetTarget({
				NewTargetValue: 1
			},function(res){
				console.log("Result",res);
			});
		}).on("event",function(data){
			console.log((data.Status == "1" || data.Status == "true")? "Light is ON": "Light is OFF" );
		});
		// unsubscribe from the service after 10 seconds 
		setTimeout(function(){
			service.removeAllListeners("event");
		},10000);
	}).on("upnp:rootdevice",function(device){ // listen to root devices
		console.log("rootdevice "+device.deviceType+" found");
		device.on("disappear",function(device){
			console.log("rootdevice "+device.UDN+" disappeared");
		});
	});
	// close peer after 30 seconds
	setTimeout(function(){
		peer.close();
	},30000);
}).on("close",function(){
	console.log("closed");
});

The following example shows how to create and advertise a BinaryLight device and with a SwitchPower service as specified in UPnP Lighting Controls V 1.0. Please refer to the documentation in the code.

var upnp = require("peer-upnp");
var http = require("http");
var server = http.createServer();
var PORT = 8080;
// start server on port 8080. please do this step before you create a peer
server.listen(PORT);

// Create a UPnP Peer. 
var peer = upnp.createPeer({
	prefix: "/upnp",
	server: server
}).on("ready",function(peer){
	console.log("ready");
	// advertise device after peer is ready
	device.advertise();
}).on("close",function(peer){
	console.log("closed");
}).start();

// Create a BinaryLight device as specified in UPnP http://upnp.org/specs/ha/UPnP-ha-BinaryLight-v1-Device.pdf.  
// Please refer for device configuration parameters to the UPnP device architecture.
var device = peer.createDevice({
	autoAdvertise: false,

// create a SwitchPower service in the BinaryLight device as specified here http://upnp.org/specs/ha/UPnP-ha-SwitchPower-v1-Service.pdf

			SetTarget: {

					NewTargetValue: "Target"
				}
			},
			GetStatus: {
				outputs: {
					ResultStatus: "Status",
				}
			}
		},
		// declare all state variables: key is the name of the variable and value is the type of the variable. 
		// type can be JSON object in this form {type: "boolean"}. 
		variables: {
			Target: "boolean", 
			Status: "boolean"
		}
	}
});
// initialize the Target State Variable with 0
service.set("Target",0);
