mqtt-scripts is a Node.js based script runner for use in mqtt based smart home environments.

It's intentended to be used as the "logic layer" in your smart home, and offers a zero-boilerplate, straight forward scripting environment.

It follows the mqtt-smarthome architecture. Mqtt-scripts could be seen as something like "Node-RED without GUI"

Getting started

Prerequisites: mqtt-scripts needs Node.js >= 6.0.

  • Install mqtt-scripts globally:

sudo npm install -g mqtt-scripts

  • Create a folder from where mqtt-scripts will load the scripts:

mkdir -p /opt/mqtt-smarthome/scripts

  • Create a folder to install node modules that can be used in the scripts:

mkdir /opt/mqtt-smarthome/scripts/node_modules
(You can then just use npm install in the directory /opt/mqtt-smarthome/scripts)

  • Put some files in you script dir:
echo "log.info('my first script!')" > /opt/mqtt-smarthome/scripts/test1.js
echo "log.info 'get ma a coffee' > /opt/mqtt-smarthome/scripts/test1.coffee
  • Start mqtt-scripts

mqtt-scripts -d /opt/mqtt-smarthome/scripts
