ESP RainMaker library for Arduino

This library allows to work with ESP RainMaker.

ESP RainMaker is an end-to-end solution offered by Espressif to enable remote control and monitoring for ESP32-S2 and ESP32 based products without any configuration required in the Cloud. The primary components of this solution are:

  • Claiming Service (to get the Cloud connectivity credentials)
  • RainMaker library (i.e. this library, to develop the firmware)
  • RainMaker Cloud (backend, offering remote connectivity)
  • RainMaker Phone App/CLI (Client utilities for remote access)

The key features of ESP RainMaker are:

  1. Ability to define own devices and parameters, of any type, in the firmware.
  2. Zero configuration required on the Cloud.
  3. Phone apps that dynamically render the UI as per the device information.

This ESP RainMaker library is built using esp-rainmaker component.

ESP RainMaker DEVICE API's

Device class expose API's for virtual devices on the node. Parameterized constructor is defined which creates the virtual device on the node. Using Device class object you can create your own device.

NOTE : my_device is the object of Device class

Device my_device(const char *dev_name, const char *dev_type, void *priv_data);
  • Parameters
  1. dev_name : Unique device name
  2. dev_type : Optional device type. It can be kept NULL.
    • Standard Device Types
      • ESP_RMAKER_DEVICE_SWITCH
      • ESP_RMAKER_DEVICE_LIGHTBULB
      • ESP_RMAKER_DEVICE_FAN
      • ESP_RMAKER_DEVICE_TEMP_SENSOR
  3. priv_data : Private data associated with the device. This will be passed to the callbacks.

NOTE : This created device should be added to the node using my_node.addDevice(my_device).

  • Sample example
Device my_device("Switch");
Device my_device("Switch1", NULL, NULL);

Here, dev_name is compulsory, rest are optional. Node can have multiple device, each device should have unique device name.

Standard Device

  • Classes are defined for the standard devices.
  • Creating object of these class creates the standard device with default parameters to it.
  • Class for standard devices
    • Switch
    • LightBulb
    • TemperatureSensor
    • Fan
Switch my_switch(const char *dev_name, void *priv_data, bool power);
  • Parameters
  1. dev_name : Unique device name by default it is "switch" for switch device.
  2. priv_data : Private data associated with the device. This will be passed to the callbacks.
  3. power : It is the value that can be set for primary parameter.
  • Sample example for standard device.
Switch switch1;
Switch switch2("switch2", NULL, true);

"switch2" : Name for standard device.

NULL : Private data for the device, which will be used in callback.

true : Default value for the primary param, in case of switch it is power.

NOTE : No parameter are compulsory for standard devices. However if you are creating two objects of same standard class then in that case you will have to set the device name, if not then both device will have same name which is set by default, hence device will not get create. Device name should be unique for each device.

my_device.getDeviceName()

It returns the name of the Device.

const char * getDeviceName();
  • Return
  1. char *: Returns Device name.

NOTE : Each device on the node should have unique device name.

  • Parameters
  1. attr_name : Name of the attribute
  2. val : Value of the attribute
  • Return
  1. ESP_OK : On success
  2. Error in case of failure

my_device.deleteDevice()

It deletes the device created using parameterized constructor. This device should be first removed from the node using my_node.removeDevice(my_device).

esp_err_t deleteDevice();
  • Return
  1. ESP_OK : On success
  2. Error in case of failure

my_device.addXParam()

It adds standard parameter to the device.

NOTE : X is the default name by which parameter is referred, you can specify your own name to each parameter.

Default

Eg. my_device.addPowerParam(true) here power parameter is referred with name Power. Eg. my_device.addHueParam(12) here hue parameter is referred with name Hue.

You can specify your own name to each parameter
