Standalone daemon process for controlling ANAVI Light pHAT over MQTT
-
Install Hassbian on Raspberry Pi
-
Run the command below and enable I2C from Interfacing Options:
sudo raspi-config
- Install mosquitto, doxygen, wiringpi, piGPIO and OpenSSL:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mosquitto mosquitto-clients wiringpi pigpio libssl-dev doxygen
- Enable anonymous connection to the MQTT broker by editting the following setting in
/etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf
:
allow_anonymous true
- Start Mosquitto and enable its automatic launch at boot:
sudo systemctl enable mosquitto.service
sudo systemctl start mosquitto.service
- Install Paho (library for MQTT clients)
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.c.git
cd paho.mqtt.c
make html
make
sudo make install
- Build and install anavid
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/AnaviTechnology/anavid.git
cd anavid
make
sudo make install
- Create configuration file and adjust the settings:
sudo cp config/anavilightphat.ini /etc/anavilight.ini
- Start the system service
sudo systemctl start anavi
- Retrieve device ID
anavid -m
- Replace DEVICEID and add the following lines to configuration.yaml
# MQTT Broker (aka Mosquitto)
mqtt:
discovery: true
broker: hassbian.local
port: 1883
# ANAVI Light pHAT
light:
- platform: mqtt_json
name: "ANAVI Light pHAT"
command_topic: "DEVICEID/action/rgbled"
brightness: true
rgb: true
- Run the following command to restart Home Assistant and reload configurations:
sudo systemctl restart home-assistant@homeassistant.service
- Add the following settings to your configuration.yaml:
emulated_hue:
type: alexa
expose_by_default: true
- Run the following command to restart Home Assistant and reload configurations:
sudo systemctl restart home-assistant@homeassistant.service
-
Ask alexa to discover new devices
-
Say "Alexa, turn on ANAVI Light pHAT" to turn on the lights
-
Say "Alexa, turn off ANAVI Light pHAT" to turn off the lights
NOTE: Replace with the actual machine ID!
- Change the colors of the 12V RGB LED strip to red:
mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.4.250 -d -p 1883 -t "<replace-with-your-device-id>/action/rgbled" -m "{ \"state\": \"ON\", \"color\": { \"r\":255, \"g\":0, \"b\":0 } }"
- Change the colors of the 12V RGB LED strip to yellow:
mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.4.250 -d -p 1883 -t "<replace-with-your-device-id>/action/rgbled" -m "{ \"state\": \"ON\", \"color\": { \"r\":200, \"g\":200, \"b\":0 } }"
- Set the 12V RGB LED strip to full brightness:
mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.4.250 -d -p 1883 -t "<replace-with-your-device-id>/action/rgbled" -m "{ \"state\": \"ON\", \"color\": { \"r\":255, \"g\":255, \"b\":255 } }"
- Turn off the 12V RGB LED strip:
mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.4.250 -d -p 1883 -t "<replace-with-your-device-id>/action/rgbled" -m "{ \"state\": \"OFF\" }"
