node-kobold

A node module for Vorwerk Kobold VR200 and VR300.

Based on Pmant's node-botvac, thanks to tomrosenback's PHP Port, kangguru's and naofireblade's work on the undocumented Neato / Vorwerk API.

Installation

npm install node-kobold

Usage Example (old auth using password)

var kobold = require('node-kobold');
 
var client = new kobold.Client();
//authorize
client.authorize('email', 'password', false, function (error) {
    if (error) {
        console.log(error);
        return;
    }
    //get your robots
    client.getRobots(function (error, robots) {
        if (error) {
            console.log(error);
            return;
        }
        if (robots.length) {
            //do something        
            robots[0].getState(function (error, result) {
               console.log(result);
            });
        }
    });
});

Usage OAuth2 (for i.e. MyKobold app)

var kobold = require('node-kobold');
 
var client = new kobold.Client();
//authorize
client.setToken(token);
 
//get your robots
client.getRobots(function (error, robots) {
    if (error) {
        console.log(error);
        return;
    }
    if (robots.length) {
        //do something        
        robots[0].getState(function (error, result) {
            console.log(result);
        });
    }
});

Getting a token

You can get a token using the following two curl commands:

# This will trigger the email sending 
curl -X "POST" "https://mykobold.eu.auth0.com/passwordless/start" \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d $'{
  "send": "code",
  "email": "ENTER_YOUR_EMAIL_HERE",
  "client_id": "KY4YbVAvtgB7lp8vIbWQ7zLk3hssZlhR",
  "connection": "email"
}'

==== wait for the email to be received ====

# this will generate a token using the numbers you received via email 
# replace the value of otp 123456 with the value you received from the email 
curl -X "POST" "https://mykobold.eu.auth0.com/oauth/token" \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d $'{
  "prompt": "login",
  "grant_type": "http://auth0.com/oauth/grant-type/passwordless/otp",
  "scope": "openid email profile read:current_user",
  "locale": "en",
  "otp": "123456",
  "source": "vorwerk_auth0",
  "platform": "ios",
  "audience": "https://mykobold.eu.auth0.com/userinfo",
  "username": "ENTER_YOUR_EMAIL_HERE",
  "client_id": "KY4YbVAvtgB7lp8vIbWQ7zLk3hssZlhR",
  "realm": "email",
  "country_code": "DE"
}'

From the output, you want to copy the id_token value.
