# nymea-networkmanager
This daemon allows to set up the wireless network using a bluetooth LE connection. The daemon will automatically start a bluetooth low energy server
if the system is currently not connected to any network. Once the system is connected, the daemon will shutdown the bluetooth server.
# Build
First you have to install build dependencies:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install qt5-default qtbase5-dev qtbase5-dev-tools libqt5bluetooth5 qtconnectivity5-dev git
Clone the source code and change into the source directory
$ git clone https://github.com/guh/nymea-networkmanager.git
$ cd nymea-networkmanager
Create the build directory
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
And finally build the daemon and library
$ qmake ..
$ make -j$(nproc)
You can run the daemon directly with following command
$ sudo LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$(pwd)/libnymea-networkmanager/ ./nymea-networkmanager/nymea-networkmanager
## Building the debian packages
In order to build a debian package you can do following:
$ sudo apt install debhelper dh-systemd
$ mkdir nymea-networkmanager
$ cd nymea-networkmanager
$ git clone https://github.com/guh/nymea-networkmanager.git
$ cd nymea-networkmanager
$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -tc
$ cd ..
$ ls -l *.deb
# Config file
nymea-networkmanager will search for a config file in the following locations (in this order):
~/.config/nymea/nymea-networkmanager.conf
/etc/nymea/nymea-networkmanager.conf
If such a config file is found, it reads values from there. There is a example config in
this repository and it will be installed to /etc/nymea-networkmanager.conf with the dpkg package.
> Note: Command line parameters will have higher priority than entries in the configuration file.
# Command line parameters
$ nymea-networkmanager --help
Usage:nymea-networkmanager [options]

Options:
-h, --help Displays this help.
-v, --version Displays version information.
-d, --debug Enable more debug output.
-a, --advertise-name <NAME> The name of the bluetooth
server. Default "BT WLAN setup".
-p, --platform-name <NAME> The name of the platform this
daemon is running. Default
"nymea-box".
-t, --timeout <SECONDS> The timeout of the bluetooth
server. Minimum value is 10.
Default "60".
-m, --mode <offline | once | always | start> Run the daemon in a specific
mode. Default is "offline".
- offline: this mode starts the
bluetooth server once the device
is offline and not connected to
any LAN network.
- once: this mode starts the
bluetooth server only if no
network configuration exists.
Once a network connection exists
the server will never start
again.
- always: this mode enables the
bluetooth server as long the
application is running.
- start: this mode starts the
bluetooth server for 3 minutes
on start and shuts down after a
connection.
# Bluetooth GATT profile
-------------------------------------------
In order to connect to nymea-networkmanager using bluetooth low energy, once has to perform a bluetooth discovery, filter for all low energy
devices and connect to the device with the name `nymea`. The remote address type for connecting to `nymea-networkmanager` is `public`.
## Notifications
In order to enable/disable the notification for a characteristic with the `notify` flag, a client has to write the value `0x0100` for
enabling and `0x0000` for disabling to the descriptor `0x2902` of the corresponding characteristic.

The *Wireless Service* allows a client to configure and monitor a wireless network connection. The connection can be controlled with the *Wireless commander* characteristic. Each command sent will generate a respone on the *Comander response* characteristic containing the error code for the command. The *Wireless connection status* characteristic informs the client about the current connection status of the wireless device.
**Characteristic overview**
| Name | Characterisitc UUID | Flag | Description
| -------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------
| Wireless commander | `e081fec1-f757-4449-b9c9-bfa83133f7fc` | **W** | Controll what the wifi manager should do.
| Commander response | `e081fec2-f757-4449-b9c9-bfa83133f7fc` | **N** | This characteristic will be used to inform about the command result (error reporting).
| Wireless connection status | `e081fec3-f757-4449-b9c9-bfa83133f7fc` | **RN** | Informs about the current wireless connection status.
| Wireless mode | `e081fec4-f757-4449-b9c9-bfa83133f7fc` | **RN** | Informs about the current mode of the wireless device.
**Characteristic details**
- **C**: *Wireless commander* (W) `e081fec1-f757-4449-b9c9-bfa83133f7fc`
- *Description*: Controll characteristic for the wireless manager. Each command sent to this characteristic will create a response report on the *Commander response* characterisitc.
- *Range*: [0-20] Byte, UTF-8, JSON
- *Possible values*:
In following example you can find the basic structure of a command and a response. The command can be sent to this *Wireless commander* characteristic, the response will be notified on the *Commander response* characteristic. The JSON object containing the command map has to be formated compact and must end with the '\n' character. If a data package is longer than the allowed 20 Bytes, the data must be splitted into 20 Byte packages and sent in the correct order. The end of a JSON data stream will be recongnized, once the '\n' character will be found at the end of a package. The *Commander response* characteristic uses the same mechanism.
