@particle/device-control-ble

A library for controlling Particle devices over BLE.

Installation

npm install @particle/device-control-ble @particle/device-constants --save

NOTE: @particle/device-control-ble declares @particle/device-constants as a peerDependency - this ensures your app only ever has one copy of that dependency

API

BleControlRequestChannel

A class implementing the Device OS control request protocol for BLE.

Kind: global class

new BleControlRequestChannel(options)

Constructor.

Param Type Default Description
options Object Options.
options.stream Object Transport stream. The stream object is expected to behave similarly to a Node's stream.Duplex in flowing mode. The only method of the stream.Duplex interface that has to be implemented by the stream is write(). The method's callback argument and return value are not used. All writes must be buffered by the stream. The channel will add listeners for the following stream events: data, end, finish, close, error. Half-closed streams are not supported, meaning that an end or a finish event emitted by the stream will result in the channel being closed immediately.
options.secret String | Uint8Array Device secret.
[options.concurrentRequests] Number 1 Maximum number of requests that can be sent to the device concurrently. Requests attempted to be sent above this limit will be queued.
[options.requestTimeout] Number 60000 Default request timeout in milliseconds.
[options.handshakeTimeout] Number 10000 Handshake timeout in milliseconds.
[options.env] Env defaultEnv() Environment-specific functions.

bleControlRequestChannel.state : String

Channel state.

Possible values are new, opening, open and closed.

Kind: instance property of BleControlRequestChannel

bleControlRequestChannel.open() ⇒ Promise

Open the channel and initiate a handshake with the device.

An open event will be emitted when the channel is open. Requests can still be enqueued for sending via sendRequest() while the channel is being opened.

The transport stream and the underlying BLE characteristics must be in a readable and writable state by the time this method is called.

A closed channel cannot be reopened.

Kind: instance method of BleControlRequestChannel

bleControlRequestChannel.close()

Close the channel.

A closed event will be emitted when the channel is closed. All pending requests will be rejected with an error.

Kind: instance method of BleControlRequestChannel

BleCharacteristic

A base class for a BLE characteristic.

Kind: global class
Emits: data, error

bleCharacteristic.uuid : String

Characteristic UUID.

Kind: instance property of BleCharacteristic

bleCharacteristic.read() ⇒ Promise.<Uint8Array>

Read the current value of the characteristic.

Kind: instance method of BleCharacteristic

bleCharacteristic.write(data, [options]) ⇒ Promise

Write to the characteristic.

Kind: instance method of BleCharacteristic

Param Type Default Description
data Uint8Array Data to write.
[options] Object Options.
[options.withoutResponse] Boolean false Whether to write with or without a response.

bleCharacteristic.enableNotifications() ⇒ Promise

Enable notifications for this characteristic.

Kind: instance method of BleCharacteristic

bleCharacteristic.disableNotifications() ⇒ Promise

Disable notifications for this characteristic.

Kind: instance method of BleCharacteristic

"data"

An event emitted when the peripheral indicates that the characteristic has changed.

In order to start receiving these events, notifications for the characteristic need to be enabled via enableNotifications.

Kind: event emitted by BleCharacteristic

"error"

An event emitted when an error occurs.

Kind: event emitted by BleCharacteristic

BleService

A base class for a BLE service.

Kind: global class

bleService.uuid : String

Service UUID.

Kind: instance property of BleService

bleService.getCharacteristics() ⇒ Promise.<Array.<BleCharacteristic>>

Get the characteristics of this service.

Kind: instance method of BleService

BlePeripheral

A base class for a BLE peripheral device.

Kind: global class
Emits: connect, disconnect, error

blePeripheral.name : String

Peripheral name.

Kind: instance property of BlePeripheral

blePeripheral.manufacturerData : Uint8Array

Advertised manufacturer data.

If present, the manufacturer data is expected to start with a 2-byte company ID.

Kind: instance property of BlePeripheral

blePeripheral.mtu : Number

ATT MTU of the current established connection.

If defined, the value must be greater than or equal to 23, which is the minimum supported ATT MTU.

Kind: instance property of BlePeripheral

blePeripheral.connect() ⇒ Promise

Connect to the peripheral.

Kind: instance method of BlePeripheral

blePeripheral.disconnect() ⇒ Promise

Disconnect from the peripheral.

Kind: instance method of BlePeripheral

blePeripheral.getServices() ⇒ Promise.<Array.<BleService>>

Get the services of this peripheral.

Kind: instance method of BlePeripheral

"connect"

An event emitted when the host has connected to the peripheral.

Kind: event emitted by BlePeripheral

"disconnect"

An event emitted when the host has disconnected from the peripheral.

Kind: event emitted by BlePeripheral

"error"

An event emitted when an error occurs.

Kind: event emitted by BlePeripheral

BleManager

A base class for a BLE manager.

Kind: global class

new BleManager()

Constructor.

bleManager.getDevices([options]) ⇒ Promise.<Array.<BlePeripheral>>

Scan for available peripherals.

If filtering options, such as names or services, are provided, a discovered peripheral will only be reported by this method if it satisfies all of the filtering options.

Only one scan can be active at a time.

Kind: instance method of BleManager
Returns: Promise.<Array.<BlePeripheral>> - Discovered peripherals.

Param Type Default Description
[options] Object Options.
[options.names] Array.<(String|RegExp)> Peripheral names.
[options.services] Array.<String> Service UUIDs.
[options.count] Number Maximum number of peripherals to scan for.
[options.timeout] Number 5000 Maximum duration of the scan in milliseconds.

bleManager.destroy() ⇒ Promise

Shut down the BLE manager.

Calling this method will interrupt the ongoing scan process and close all connections with peripherals with an error.

Kind: instance method of BleManager

Aes128Cipher

A base class for an AES-128 cipher operating in ECB mode.

Kind: global class

aes128Cipher.encryptBlock(block) ⇒ Promise.<Uint8Array>

Encrypt a single block of data.

Kind: instance method of Aes128Cipher
Returns: Promise.<Uint8Array> - Ciphertext block.

Param Type Description
block Uint8Array Plaintext block. The block must be 16 bytes long.

Env

A base class defining environment-specific functions used by the library.

Kind: global class

env.createAes128Cipher(key) ⇒ Aes128Cipher

Create an AES-128 cipher operating in ECB mode.

Kind: instance method of Env
Returns: Aes128Cipher - Cipher object.

Param Type Description
key Uint8Array Encryption key. The key must be 16 bytes long.

env.getRandomBytes(size) ⇒ Promise.<Uint8Array>

Generate cryptographically strong random data.

Kind: instance method of Env
Returns: Promise.<Uint8Array> - Random data.

Param Type Description
size Number Number of bytes to generate.

DEFAULT_BLE_SCAN_TIMEOUT

Default timeout of a BLE scan.

Kind: global constant

defaultEnv() ⇒ Env

Get the default environment-specific functions.

Kind: global function

Response ⇒ Promise.<Response>

Send a request to the device.

Kind: global typedef

Param Type Description
type Number Request type. See system_control.h in Device OS for the list of defined request types.
[data] Uint8Array Request payload data.
[options] Object Options.
[options.timeout] Number Request timeout in milliseconds. If not specified, the default timeout configured at construction time will be used.

Properties

Name Type Description
result Number Result code. See system_error.h in Device OS for the list of defined result codes.
data Uint8Array Response payload data.

NOTE: Unfortunately, docs have a nasty habit of falling out of date. When in doubt, check usage in tests
