Last Updated on : 2023-06-21 06:39:08download

This topic describes how to integrate a multi-door access controller with the Tuya IoT Development Platform by using Tuya IoT Edge Gateway.

Architecture

Tuya provides a comprehensive solution to help integrate a multi-door access controller with the Tuya IoT Development Platform. The following architecture shows how to integrate a multi-door access controller by using Tuya IoT Edge Gateway.

Integration with Multi-Door Access Controller

The multi-door access controller communicates with Tuya’s IoT Edge Gateway over the MQTT protocol.

Integration protocol

During communications over the MQTT protocol, the multi-door access controller works as a client, and Tuya IoT Edge Gateway works as a broker.

Connection authentication

  • ip: the IP address of the MQTT broker. It is provided by Tuya during joint debugging on the Tuya IoT Development Platform. The default value is the IP address of the Tuya IoT Edge Gateway.

  • port: the port number of the MQTT broker. It is provided by Tuya during joint debugging on the Tuya IoT Development Platform. The default value is 56301.

  • clientId: the client ID of the multi-door access controller.

  • username: the manufacturer username of the multi-door access controller. It is provided by Tuya during joint debugging on the Tuya IoT Development Platform.

  • password: sub(md5(clientId + username), 0, 16). Here is an example to generate a password:

    clientId: abcd1***
    username: tuya
    password: sub(md5(clientId + username), 0, 16)-> c88ba730489ed678
    

    ip, port, clientId, and username must be configured in the multi-door access controller in advance. This enables the multi-door access controller to read these parameters every time it starts and thus connect to the IoT Edge Gateway.

Message topic reported by a multi-door access controller

  • Push: gateway/multiaccess/out/{clientId}

  • payload: base64.Encode(aes.encrypt(payload, password))

    Sample message

    password: "f4ae303385f24***"
    payload: `{"t":1655200***,"reqId":"1655200901125274***","reqType":2,"data":{}}`
    secPayload: "WMnpAqV9Diuz9hbhb5U5zMN3jgGubWaPGT3xDbY0QnUDy6B72W9pH0Li/cRN5i17dQnWqWZKnkicTZHv0G6WkKtFoEE6dkho0FhVAXOxNiY="
    

Message topic subscribed by a multi-door access controller

  • Push: gateway/multiaccess/in/{clientId}

  • payload: base64.Decode(aes.decrypt(payload, password))

    Sample message

    password: "f4ae303385f24***"
    secPayload: "WMnpAqV9Diuz9hbhb5U5zMN3jgGubWaPGT3xDbY0QnUDy6B72W9pH0Li/cRN5i17dQnWqWZKnkicTZHv0G6WkKtFoEE6dkho0FhVAXOxNiY="
    payload: `{"t":1655200***,"reqId":"1655200901125274***","reqType":1,"data":{}}`
    

Message encryption and decryption

Messages sent and received by devices must be encrypted and decrypted by AES.

  • The message body is serialized and deserialized using JSON.
  • The encryption and decryption method: AES-ECB.
  • The encryption and decryption password: Use the password created for connection authentication.

Sample code

password := "f4ae303385f24***"
payload := `{"t":1655199***,"reqId":"1655199371114618***","reqType":1,"data":null}`
data, err := aes_crypto.AesECBEncrypt([]byte(payload), []byte(password))
fmt.Println(err)
base64str := base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString(data)
fmt.Println(base64str)

dataE, err := base64.StdEncoding.DecodeString(base64str)
fmt.Println(err)
dataD, err := aes_crypto.AesECBDecrypt(dataE, []byte(password))
fmt.Println(err)
fmt.Println(string(dataD))

Device management

Send a command to synchronize a multi-door access controller

It is used for synchronizing a multi-door access controller. After the multi-door access controller is connected to the MQTT server of Tuya IoT Edge Gateway, the gateway sends a command to synchronize the device information. After receiving the command, the multi-door access controller reports the device information.

Sample application

MQTT connection example:

import (
	"crypto/md5"
	"encoding/hex"
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"time"

	mqtt "github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.golang"
)

var (
	client mqtt.Client
	pubTopic string
	subTopic string
	password string
)

func main() {
	log.SetFlags(log.LstdFlags | log.Lshortfile)

	var (
		username = "multiaccess***"
		clientId = "multiaccess"
		broker   = "tcp://ip:port"
	)
	password = string(genSecKey(clientId, username))
	pubTopic = fmt.Sprintf("gateway/multiaccess/out/%s", clientId)
	subTopic = fmt.Sprintf("gateway/multiaccess/in/%s", clientId)

	opts := mqtt.NewClientOptions().SetClientID(clientId).SetUsername(username).SetPassword(password)
	opts = opts.SetAutoReconnect(true).SetCleanSession(true).SetKeepAlive(5 * time.Second).
		SetMaxReconnectInterval(10 * time.Second).
		SetConnectRetry(true).SetConnectRetryInterval(time.Second)

	opts.AddBroker(broker)
	opts.SetOnConnectHandler(func(client mqtt.Client) {
		log.Println("connected")

		client.Subscribe(subTopic, 1, onMessage)
	}).SetConnectionLostHandler(func(client mqtt.Client, err error) {
		log.Println("connect lost")
	})
	client = mqtt.NewClient(opts)
	token := client.Connect()
	if ok := token.WaitTimeout(time.Second * 10); !ok {
		panic("connect timeout")
	}

	for {

}

func onMessage(client mqtt.Client, msg mqtt.Message) {
	log.Printf("onmessage, topic:%v, messageId:%v, msg: %+v\n", msg.Topic(), msg.MessageID(), string(msg.Payload()))
	// Message processing logic
}

// publish Send messages
func publish(payload []byte) error {
	token := client.Publish(pubTopic, 1, true, payload)
	log.Println(token)
	return nil
}

func genSecKey(clientID, userName string) []byte {
	secKey := genMd5(clientID + userName)[:16]
	return []byte(secKey)
}
