Nostr Internet of Things

|
## Rationale
|
|
|
|
The terms/conditions of IoT software/hardware is horrible. A user should be able to message a light or heating system and ask it to turn on/off. Nostr gives the simple, permissionless development environment IoT needs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Terms
|
|
|
|
- `user` - user operating IoT devices with NOSTR key-pair and a client made specifically for IoT
|
|
- `device` - device to operate over Nostr with NOSTR key-pair, using a microcontroller client like <a href="https://github.com/lnbits/arduino-nostr">nostr-arduino</a>
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Nostr IoT Clients
|
|
|
|
### User
|
|
|
|
Where the `user` registers 'device'(s) and its keys, then updates the `device`(s).
|
|
|
|
### Device
|
|
|
|
The `device` uses a client like <a href="https://github.com/lnbits/arduino-nostr">nostr-arduino</a> to receive commands from the `user` or another `device`.
|
|
The `device` can also push data such as sensor readings and updates.
|
|
|
|
## Events
|
|
|
|
A `device` can publish any of the events described in [NIP-91 Event Kinds](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/iot/91.md#event-kinds).
|
|
A `user` can publish these event kinds:
|
|
|
|
| Kind | | Description | NIP |
|
|
|---------|----------|-------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `30107` | `config` | Configure a device | [NIP-107 Configure Device Event](https://github.com/arcbtc/nips/edit/nip_107/107.md#configure-device-event) |
|
|
| `8000` | `intent` | Trigger an action on a device | [NIP-91 Event Kinds](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/iot/91.md#event-kinds) |
|
|
| `8001 - 8999` | `data` | Publish the state of a `device` | [NIP-91 Event Kinds](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/iot/91.md#event-kinds) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The content of events can be transmitted in clear text (for public data) or as [NIP-59 Gift Wrap](https://github.com/staab/nips/blob/NIP-59/59.md).
|
|
|
|
### Configure Device Event (`kind: 30107`)
|
|
This message is sent by an admin `user` to a `device`. The `device` saves the config locally and then uses it.
|
|
|
|
**Event Content**:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"type": 0,
|
|
"name": <String (optional), set a name for the device>,
|
|
"description": <String (optional), device description>,
|
|
"categories":[ <String (optional), device category, such as 'boiler'>],
|
|
"admin_pubkeys": [ [<String (optional), admin user public-key>]],
|
|
"publish_to_pubkeys":[ [<String (optional), user public-key>]],
|
|
"intents_from_pubkeys":[ [<String (optional), user public-key>]],
|
|
"publish_on_change": <Boolean (optional, default `true`), publish event each time a sensor value changes>,
|
|
"publish_interval": <Integer (optional), publish the sensor value at regular intervals (regardless the value changes or not). The value is in `millisecods`.>
|
|
"unix_time": <Integer (optional), set system time in `millisecods`.>
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
| Field | Description |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `admin_pubkeys` | List of public keys that are allowed to configure this device.<br>A fresh/blank device will not have this value, so the first received `"type: 0"` should set it.<br/> The `admin_pubkeys` implicitly have the `actions_from_pubkeys` permissions. |
|
|
| `publish_to_pubkeys` | List of public keys to which events are published. |
|
|
| `actions_from_pubkeys` | List of public keys that are allowed to trigger an action on this device.<br/> The `admin_pubkeys` implicitly have the `actions_from_pubkeys` permissions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> The content of the `30107` event should be encrypted if the user chooses the "encrypted" mode
|
|
|
|
**Event Tags**:
|
|
```json
|
|
"tags": [["d", <String, pubkey of the configured device]]
|
|
```
|
|
- the `d` tag is required, its value MUST be the same as the pubkey of the `device`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Intent Events (`kind: 8000`)
|
|
Intent Events represent different actions that can be performed on a device. These actions can be triggered by a `user` or by another `device`.
|
|
The content of the event is a `JSON` array representing the data type and the data value as specified in [NIP-91 Event Kinds](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/iot/91.md#event-kinds)
|
|
|
|
**Event Content**:
|
|
```json
|
|
[[<Integer, between 8001 and 8999>, <Any Type> ]]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example that turns on a device and sets the temperature to `20.9` degrees Celsius:
|
|
```json
|
|
[[8001, true], [8003, 20.9]]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Event Tags**:
|
|
```json
|
|
"tags": [["p", <String, pubkey of the targeted device(s)]]
|
|
```
|
|
- the `p` tag is required, its value MUST be the same as the pubkey(s) of the target `device`(s).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Data Events (`kind: 8001 - 8999`)
|
|
Data Events represent data publised by `device`(s). The `kind` of the event and the `content` must follow ths specification from [NIP-91 Event Kinds](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/iot/91.md#event-kinds).
|
|
|
|
**Event Tags**:
|
|
```json
|
|
"tags": [["p", <String, pubkey of the listening device(s)]]
|
|
```
|
|
- the `p` tag is required, its value MUST be the same as the `publish_to_pubkeys` value from the [Configure Device Event](https://github.com/arcbtc/nips/edit/nip_107/107.md#configure-device-event-kind-30107)
