Bosch XMPP

Unofficial Bosch XMPP implementation, used for, amongst others:

Nefit Easy and similar devices (Junkers Control CT100, Worcester Wave, Bosch RRC, Buderus Logamatic TC 100)
Bosch/IVT heat pumps
Junkers Bosch MB LANi/MB LAN2
Buderus KM200, KM100 or KM50
Bosch EasyControl CT200
(probably) any Bosch EasyRemote compatible controller

I keep getting JSON errors, but I'm sure I'm passing the correct serial/access key/password!

I found that the EasyControl app for iOS/Android is able to use your Bosch SingleKey ID password to access the device. This is not possible with bosch-xmpp (if you use this password, you will get JSON decoding errors, which means that bosch-xmpp is unable to decrypt the response data).

Instead, you need to set an explicit device password. From the EasyControl app, you can change it from "Settings > Personal > Change password".

Command Line Interface

Install using -g/--global:

$ npm i -g bosch-xmpp

Options:

bosch-xmpp – Bosch XMPP command line interface

Usage:
  bosch-xmpp [options] CLIENT get <endpoint>
  bosch-xmpp [options] CLIENT put <endpoint> <value>
  bosch-xmpp [options] CLIENT bridge [<port>] [<host>]

Options:
  -h --help                Show this screen
  -v --version             Show version
  -V --verbose             Be more verbose
  --serial=SERIAL          Device serial number (on some devices called "login name")
  --access-key=ACCESS_KEY  Device access key (on some devices called "password")
  --password=PASSWORD      Device password (on some devices, the user-configured password)
  --xmpp-host=HOST         XMPP host to connect to
  --xmpp-port=PORT         XMPP port to connect to [default: 5222]
  --timeout=TIMEOUT        Retry timeout in seconds [default: 5]

Supported values for CLIENT:
  nefit                    Nefit Easy or compatible
  ivt                      IVT/Bosch devices (mainly heat pumps)
  easycontrol              Bosch EasyControl (CT200)

Examples:
  $ bosch-xmpp nefit get /ecus/rrc/uiStatus
  $ bosch-xmpp ivt get /gateway/versionFirmware
  $ bosch-xmpp nefit put /heatingCircuits/hc1/temperatureRoomManual '{"value":20.5}'
  $ bosch-xmpp easycontrol bridge 8080 0.0.0.0

Instead of specifying serial number, access key or password through
options, you can also define them through environment variables:

  BOSCH_XMPP_SERIAL_NUMBER
  BOSCH_XMPP_ACCESS_KEY
  BOSCH_XMPP_PASSWORD

HTTP bridge

You can start a local HTTP server that will set up a persistent connection with the Bosch backend:

bosch-xmpp bridge

By default the bridge will listen on localhost port 3000. You can use the bridge from other software to retrieve endpoints.

The base URL, assuming the default, is http://localhost:3000/bridge/ENDPOINT. For example, to retrieve the /ecus/rrc/uiStatus endpoint, the URL will be http://localhost:3000/bridge/ecus/rrc/uiStatus.

API

Install locally:

$ npm i bosch-xmpp

Nefit Easy

const { NefitEasyClient } = require('bosch-xmpp');

// Instantiate client
const client = NefitEasyClient({
  serialNumber : '...',
  accessKey    : '...',
  password     : '...',
});

await client.connect();
try {
  console.log('%j', await client.get('/ecus/rrc/uiStatus'))
} catch(e) {
  console.error(e.stack || e);
}
client.end();

IVT

const { IVTClient } = require('bosch-xmpp');

const client = IVTClient({
  serialNumber : '...',
  accessKey    : '...',
  password     : '...',
});

await client.connect();
try {
  console.log('%j', await client.get('/gateway/versionFirmware'));
} catch(e) {
  console.error(e.stack || e);
}
client.end();

EasyControl (CT200)

const { EasyControlClient } = require('bosch-xmpp');

const client = EasyControlClient({
  serialNumber : '...',
  accessKey    : '...',
  password     : '...',
});

await client.connect();
try {
  console.log('%j', await client.get('/gateway/versionFirmware'));
} catch(e) {
  console.error(e.stack || e);
}
client.end();
