Google Dialogflow + Spring Boot + Angular + MQTT + ESP8266 + anything

This project is a simple Spring Boot Application designed to communicate with IoT devices over MQTT Broker. User can send commands to an ESP8266 using Google Assistant or a web interface built with Angular 4.

Install prerequisites

Install MySQL 5.5 or MariaDB 10.1.23 on your server/local environment.
Install latest MQTT on your server/local environment. On MacOS you can install using brew.sh:
```
$ brew install mosquitto
```
On Debian/Raspberry Pi you can install using following commands:
```
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install mosquitto mosquitto-clients
```
For more information on installing MQTT on different operating systems, refer to : https://mosquitto.org/download/

Clone & Run

$ git clone git@github.com:adnirjhar/orchid-backend.git
$ cd orchid-backend
$ mvn install
$ mvn spring-boot:run

Configure application

Set your own MQTT Broker host

By default, the application is configured to connect to the publicly open MQTT Broker host iot.eclipse.org. But eventually you would want it to connect to your own MQTT Broker on your server/local environment.

In the application_config table, find the row where mqttServer is set to iot.eclipse.org.
Replace the iot.eclipse.org with your own MQTT Broker's host name or just localhost if local environment.
Also replace the mqttPort value with your own MQTT Broker's port in case its not running on the default port 1883.

Load the initial data

For a quick start and to help out the users to understand the project better, there is an initialData.sql file located at src/main/resources/. Running this sql file will add some ADMIN users and fill up some more data to get you started.

Run the initialData.sql file located at src/main/resources/.

Congratulations! Our Spring Boot Application itself is ready to go! It's time to plug-in the super awesome Frontend Application!
