A nodejs library to connect to Arduino Cloud via mqtt.

Simple usage

var ArduinoCLoud = require("../arduinoCloud.js");

var name = "";
var thing_ID = "";
var thing_PSW = "";
var username = ""

var mything = new ArduinoCLoud(username, name, thing_ID, thing_PSW);

mything.addProperty("<propertyName>");

mything.writeProperty("<propertyName>", "<propertyValue>");

setInterval( function(){
  mything.writeProperty("<propertyName>", "<propertyValue>")}
  ,5000);

mything.on("propertyChanged", function(propertyName, propertyValue) {
    console.log("propertyChanged");
    console.log("propertyName " + propertyName);
    console.log("propertyValue " + propertyValue);
});

API

• function ArduinoCloud(username, name, id, psw) Creates a new Arduino Cloud Object and open the connection with the mqtt broker.

• addProperty(propertyName); Create a new property and subscribe to it.

• writeProperty(propertyName, propertyValue) Write a new value of the property

• on("propertyChanged", function(propertyName, propertyValue){}) This event is fired every time a property value gets updated.

• addExternalProperty(thingName,propertyName) Connects to a property of a different "thing" capability and subscribe to it.

• writeExternalProperty(thingName,propertyName, propertyValue) Write a new value to the property of a different thing

• on("ExternalPropertyChanged", function(thingName,propertyName, propertyValue){}) This event is fired every time a property value of a different thing we are subscribed to gets updated.
