MQTT Control Map

Development / Configuration

1. run yarn to install all dependencies.
2. run yarn watch CONFIG to run a local build server that automatically builds your the mqtt control map for the given CONFIG everytime something changes.
3. run yarn build CONFIG to create just a single build of the mqtt control map for the given config.
4. run yarn production-build CONFIG to generate all files for production use.

Config

See config/.

The Config format consists out of two sections. Topics and Controls.

Topics

The topics section defines the mqtt interfaces.

Controls

The Controls define the UI Controls.

Name	Type	Optional?	Default	Description
type	"toggle" | "dropDown" | "slider"	No		The type of the UI element.
text	string	No		The text displayed right next to the UI element.
topic	string	No		The topic the UI element is supposed to change and/or receive its status from.
enableCondition	(key: string, value: *) => boolean	Yes	() => true	This option allows you to enable or disable UI elements, depending on the current state. The first parameter is the internal representation of the value. For example "off". The second parameter is the actual value that was received via MQTT. Return true to enable the element and false to disable it.
Toggle Options
on	string	Yes	"on"	If the state is equal to the value of this option the toggle will be toggled on (if the toggled function is not overriden). This is also the value that will be sent when the button is toggled on.
off	string	Yes	"off"	If the state is equal to the value of this option the toggle will be toggled off (if the toggled function is not overriden). This is also the value that will be sent when the button is toggled off.
toggled	(key: string, value: *) => boolean	Yes	Use the on and off options	This is the function that decides whether the button should be in a toggled state or not. The parameters are equivalent to those of enableCondition. Return true to set the button to a toggled state. Return false to set it to the untoggled state.
DropDown Options
options	Map<string,string>	Yes	{}	This is an attribute set that will map all values defined in the topics section to a description text. For example { on: "Lights On", off: "Lights Off" } will give the drop down element two options, one that is named Lights On and one that is named Lights Off.
Slider Options
min	number	Yes	0	The minimum value of that slider.
max	number	Yes	1	The maximum value of that slider.
step	number	Yes	1	The smallest step of the slider.
