Shelly Script Language Features

Shelly Scripts run on a modified version of Espruino. While the previous JS interpreter running on Shelly supported a subset of JavaScript, Espruino interpreter is closer to the JavaScript standard.

The interpreter is feature compatible with one it's replacing. There should be no visible problem with scripts written and working before v 1.0.

More information about the API for managing Scripts on a Shelly device can be found here.

Supported

  • global scope variables, let, var
  • function binding
  • String object
  • Number object
  • Function
  • Array object
  • Math object
  • Date object
  • new, delete operators
  • Object.keys
  • Exceptions

Not supported

  • Hoisting
  • Classes as in ES6, function prototypes are supported
  • Promises and async functions
  • ArrayBuffer

Specifics

  • arguments.length will return number of arguments passed if more than defined, or number of defined, if the number of arguments passed to function are less than defined
  • delete operator works without brackets only
  • Function supports an additional method replaceWith

For detailed information on which methods are supported you can consult Espruino documentation. Please consider that we are only using the language interpreter and many of the system and hardware specific Espruino functions are not and will never be implemented in Shelly.

Strings

info

TL;DR

Strings support encoding bytes in the form \xHH escape sequence. Strings don't support encoding using \u escape sequence. UTF-8 works.

String encoding

String literals and objects in regular JS implementations use 16-bit words for character storage and are treated as UTF16-encoded text. In contrast, Shelly Scripts use byte arrays for string storage. This difference is not noticeable if strings are used to hold plain ASCII-encoded text but becomes important when strings are used to store characters outside of the ASCII set or arbitrary binary data.

The philosophy implemented in Shelly Scripts is to allow arbitrary binary data to be stored in strings and use UTF8 whenever encoding to byte streams or decoding input is involved. We thus optimize for memory usage, provide backward compatibility and Unicode support (in the form of UTF8 encoding) at the cost of some differences with standard JavaScript.

String literals

Script source code must be UTF8-encoded. String literals can thus contain Unicode text encoded in the UTF8 source. It is possible to encode arbitrary bytes in string literals using the \xHH escape sequence, where HH is the hexadecimal representation of a byte. Note, that this differs from regular JS implementations where the value is interpreted as a Unicode codepoint between 0 and 255.

String literals do not support the \uHHHH and \u{HHHHHH} escapes. Placing Unicode text in literals should be done by just using it's UTF8 representation in the source code.

Examples:

// a 4-byte long binary blob
let some_bytes = "\x00\x0a\xa0\xaa";
// UTF8-encoded Cyrillic string
let some_name = "Шели";

// UTF8 sequences as raw bytes
let an_emoji = "\xF0\x9F\x98\xB9"

// the following is not supported
let no_emoji = "\u{1F4A9}";
let a_letter = "\u0448";

Strings in JSON

JSON documents are UTF8-encoded, as defined in RFC 8259. Shelly Scripts follow the standard rules for parsing and serializing json.

  • JSON.parse()
    • expects UTF8-encoded input and will raise an exception when users attempt to parse an invalid UTF8 string or strings containing invalid \uHHHH\uHHHH surrogate pairs
    • \uHHHH escapes and surrogate pairs encoded as \uHHHH\uHHHH are transcoded to their UTF8 representation in the corresponding string variable.
  • JSON.stringify()
    • encodes control characters as required by RFC 8259
    • will raise an exception if it is asked to stringify a string with invalid UTF-8 contents
    • will return a valid UTF-8 encoded string

To transfer binary data with JSON, use atob() and btoa() to encode the binary blobs to base-64 and back.

Bluetooth support

Since version 0.12.0

A global BLE object provides a namespace for for various different layers of the bluetooth protocol stack. Shelly devices currently support the scanner role.

BLE.Scanner

The Scanner object provides access to functionality related to the discovery of bluetooth devices. It allows the script to start a scan and listen for scan events. It defines the following constants:

  • Scan events passed to subscribers:

    • BLE.Scanner.SCAN_START = 0;
    • BLE.Scanner.SCAN_STOP = 1;
    • BLE.Scanner.SCAN_RESULT = 2;
  • duration_ms value for perpetual scanning:

    • BLE.Scanner.INFINITE_SCAN = -1;
note

Processing advertisement packets can be very resource intensive, especially in environments with many broadcasters and advertisers. It is recommended that scripts filter advertisement data for specific devices or device types to prevent memory and bandwidth starvation.

note

Since version 1.0.0 the scanner will silence identical scan results for a 3-second window. Scripts which have subscribed for scan events will receive the first result, but any results from the same MAC, ADV packet payload and SCAN_RESP packet payload will be ignored and will not invoke the event handler for the next 3 seconds. This is done to mitigate the risk of resource starvation which a high rate of scan results may cause.

BLE.Scanner.Subscribe()

Subscribes for scan events and register a listener. A script must subscribe in order to receive events, can subscribe at any time, regardless of the status of the scan or previous subscription. Only one subscription can be active in a script and previous subscriptions are replaced by a new one.

BLE.Scanner.Start()

Starts a scan and optionally subscribe for scan events.

Scan options allow tuning for scan timings, but some restrictions apply:

  • scan window cannot be longer than 1/3 of scan interval
  • the maximum scan window is 50 ms, but 30 ms seems to be optimal
  • duration must be at least 3 scan intervals long

If these conditions are not met scanning will not start. In the future, some of these options may not be tunable or the device may choose to modify them for performance and compatibility with other firmware features. It is best to use defaults.

To run a perpetual scan, invoke with a single option: {duration_ms: BLE.Scanner.INFINITE_SCAN}.

note

Handling of POST and PUT requests with payload of type multipart/* are not supported. Response to such requests is HTTP status code 415 (Unsupported Media Type).

note

The HTTP server cannot process requests of total size greater than 3072 bytes. This includes the HTTP request line, headers and body. In this case connection is reset and no response is sent.

note

Content-Length and Connection: close headers are automatically set in the response and and override any such headers set by the script. Content-Type header defaults to text/plain if not set by the script.

note

HTTP transaction (request and response) times out after 10 seconds if repsonse is not sent. If timeout is reached response of HTTP status code 504 (Gateway Timeout) is automatically sent and transaction is cancelled (send method will return false). No more than 5 concurrent transactions are allowed. If this limit reached further requests are not processed and response of HTTP status code 503 (Service Unavailable) is sent to the client.

note

HTTP endpoints exposed through scripts will require authentication if enabled on the device

Resource Limits

There are some limitations of the resources used in a script. At the moment, these are as follows:

Error Handling

When the script contains errors (either a javascript error or parameters error) its execution is aborted. An error message is printed on the console and a status change event is issued with information of the type of error. This information is also avalibale in the Script.GetStatus RPC call. When the error affects the behavior of script API this is reflected in the documentation.

A special case of error is when a script causes a device crash. The script causing the crash is detected during the reboot after the crash and is disabled. The error is reported in a status change event and also in the Script.GetStatus RPC call.

Known Issues

Non-blocking execution

Shelly scripts are executed in an environment which shares CPU time with the rest of the firmware. Code in the scripts runs on the main system task and is not allowed to block for long. This is why any APIs which can potentially take a long while are callback-based. Still, it is possible to write code which will hoard the CPU for longer then acceptable. Such code may cause issues with other firmware features, communication or even cause the device to crash. One obvious example is an infinite (or near infinite) loop:

Loop for too long
let n = 0;
while (n < 500000) {
n = n + 1;
}

If a script manages to crash the device the system will detect this and disable the script at the next boot.

Limited levels of nested anonymous functions

A limitation of the javascript engine that it cannot parse too many levels of nested anonymous functions. With more than 2 or 3 levels the device crashes when attempting to execute the code. To avoid this problem it is recommended that asynchronous callback functions are defined at the top level and passed as a named reference. Also, where possible prefer synchronous calls like Shelly.getComponentStatus and Shelly.getComponentConfig to avoid the need for async callbacks altogether.

For example, instead of using an anonymous function for a callback:

Shelly.call(
"HTTP.GET",
{url: "http://example.com/"},
function(result, error_code, error_message) {
if (error_code != 0) {
// process error
} else {
// process result
}
});

Prefer a named function:

function processHttpResponse(result, error_code, error) {
if (error_code != 0) {
// process error
} else {
// process result
}
}

Shelly.call("HTTP.GET", {url: "http://example.com/"}, processHttpResponse);
