chili-assistant

chili-assistant works with ChiliSleep's Ooler system and communicates over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, but any Linux system with a Bluetooth 4.0+ radio will work.

chili-assistant requires a message bus. I'm a fan of Mosquitto MQTT which works great with Home Assistant.

Simple execution examples:

./ooler_service 5C:02:72:AA:BB:CC 37648-mqtt1.phospher.com > /tmp/ooler_brianooler.log 2>&1 &
./ooler_service 5C:02:72:XX:YY:ZZ 37648-mqtt1.phospher.com > /tmp/ooler_wifeooler.log 2>&1 &

Whenever time allows:

Add regular polling for status updates sent to message bus, currently status updates are realized after a command is sent to the bus

Containerize ooler_service and include a direct and mobile friendly UI, removing the need for Home Assistant

Author and publish the message bus queues, commands, inputs and outputs
