@openclaw/buzz
Official Buzz channel plugin for OpenClaw. It connects an OpenClaw agent to approved Buzz rooms for text conversations and threaded replies.
Requirements
You need:
- A Buzz relay URL
- A Buzz owner or admin
- A room where the bot can receive the Bot role
Use wss:// outside local development.
Set up
openclaw channels add --channel buzz
OpenClaw installs the plugin if needed, asks for the relay URL, and generates a dedicated bot identity.
Give the displayed public key only to a Buzz owner or admin:
buzz channels add-member \
--channel <ROOM_UUID> \
--pubkey <BOT_PUBLIC_KEY> \
--role bot
Closed relays may also require the bot to be added as a relay member. Setup waits for approval, discovers accessible rooms, and saves the selected rooms and default target.
Restart the Gateway if it was already running.
Verify
openclaw channels status --probe
Inspect the current bot, approved rooms, and room members:
openclaw directory self --channel buzz
openclaw directory peers list --channel buzz
openclaw directory groups list --channel buzz
openclaw directory groups members --channel buzz --group-id buzz:<ROOM_UUID>
Buzz profile and room names are used as display labels, while public keys and room UUIDs remain the stable identities. Archived rooms are omitted; an archive or restore event rebuilds only the Buzz connection's room subscriptions and does not stop the Gateway.
Send a test message:
openclaw message send \
--channel buzz \
--target <ROOM_UUID> \
--message "Hello from OpenClaw"
Security and scope
- Never give OpenClaw a human owner's private key.
- The generated bot private key is stored in OpenClaw configuration; only its public key is displayed.
- Treat Buzz messages as untrusted agent input.
- Currently supported: text conversations, threads, typing, and directory lookup in group rooms.
- Not yet supported: DMs, media, reactions, or creating rooms from OpenClaw.
