Toy Web Bridge

Running

In the project root folder use the command: dotnet run

By default, it will run on locahost:5000, to change the ip/port: dotnet run --urls "http://ip:port"

You can also edit & use Start.bat, it will bind to all interfaces and listen on port 27015

You will most likely have to setup port-forwarding if you want the web bridge to be accessed remotely.

Ctrl+C to exit.

Safety

I realize that this might be important to outline:

Using this web bridge requires revealing your computer's public IP to the program that will interface with it.

I made this program to control toys from "Second Life" scripts which effectively act as a 3rd party "anonymity buffer", this solution is acceptable for me, but might not be for you, please be safe.

Security

You can set a SecretKey in appsettings.json.
If no SecretKey is set, a temporary key will be generated (and displayed in the console window).
To connect to the Web bridge, apps have to supply a header parameter named "SecretKey" with the proper value.

Per toy configuration.

Each toy type can have a custom configuration in the ToySettings section of appsettings.json.

(Optional) CommandDelay: By default, the maximum command rate is 50ms. You can set a longer value for a specific toy here.
(Optional) PowerFactor: By default, You can limit the actual power range of a toy here, if 100% is too strong.
(Optional) VisibleName: The toy will be identified under this name rather than the device name (useful for privacy).

Using multiple identical devices

Using multiple identical devices is supported and duplicates will show as "Devicename 2" , "Devicename 3" and so on. There is currently no way to uniquely identify each device under the ButtPlug API, so they are registered on a first come, first served basis.

API

Examples use localhost:5000 as the Toy Web Bridge address and "Lovense Hush" as the device.

Devices

The device APIs have general structure of /api/Device/{Action}/{Devicename}/{argument} and is defined in Controllers/DevicesController.cs

Get a list of devices

GET http://localhost:5000/api/Device/List

Querying a specific device status

GET http://localhost:5000/api/Device/Info/Lovense%20Hush

Currently returns supported features for the queried device

Set global vibration level (all vibration motors)

GET http://localhost:5000/api/Device/VibrateCmd/Lovense%20Hush/0
GET http://localhost:5000/api/Device/VibrateCmd/Lovense%20Hush/50
GET http://localhost:5000/api/Device/VibrateCmd/Lovense%20Hush/100

Set vibration level on each vibrator independently

Note: You have to set the speed of all vibrators at once, the number of supplied values MUST match VibrateCmd Feature.

Example for VibrateCmd = 1:

GET http://localhost:5000/api/Device/SingleMotorVibrateCmd/Lovense%20Hush/0
GET http://localhost:5000/api/Device/SingleMotorVibrateCmd/Lovense%20Hush/50
GET http://localhost:5000/api/Device/SingleMotorVibrateCmd/Lovense%20Hush/100

Example for VibrateCmd = 2:

GET http://localhost:5000/api/Device/SingleMotorVibrateCmd/Lovense%20Edge/0,100
GET http://localhost:5000/api/Device/SingleMotorVibrateCmd/Lovense%20Edge/50,50
GET http://localhost:5000/api/Device/SingleMotorVibrateCmd/Lovense%20Edge/100,0

Play a vibration sequence

Devices that support VibrateCmd can play vibration sequences with "SequenceVibrateCmd". Unlike the other commands, this one requires to use a JSON encoded POST query.

A "Time" list indicates how long each sequence step takes.
You can control each motor independently, if only only one motor instruction list is sent, it is assumed that you want all motors to be controlled at the same time.
For devices with more than 2 independent motors (is there any?), ommited entries are treated as 0.

Example:

POST http://localhost:5000/api/Device/SequenceVibrateCmd/Lovense%20Edge

Payload example (single/all motors): ( raw/JSON )

{
   "Loop":false,
   "Time":[500,500,500,500],
   "Speeds":[
      [10,0,50,0]
   ]
}

Payload example (two independent motors): ( raw/JSON )

{
   "Loop":true,
   "Time":[500,500,500,500],
   "Speeds":[
      [10,0,50,0],
      [0,10,0,50]
   ]
}

If "Loop" is true, the pattern will repeat until a new instruction is received.
When a sequence ends, the motors will keep running at the last "Speed" value.
Missing "Speed"values will be considered 0, "Time" determinates the sequence length.

Shut down the device

GET http://localhost:5000/api/Device/StopDeviceCmd/Lovense%20Hush

Status Codes

Errors are indicated with HTTP response status codes.

401 Unauthorized

Access denied, make sure that you supplied a valid access key.

404 Not Found
