SmartESS-proxy

SmartESS-proxy is a bridge between the VictorMax WiFi Plug Pro and MQTT, designed to facilitate data transmission to Home Assistant (HASS) or prometheus / grafana in addition to the native SmartESS cloud.

Project Objective

The primary goal of this project is to enable the VictorMax WiFi Plug Pro to transmit data via MQTT to HASS. This is achieved by running the SmartESS-proxy and redirecting the DNS of ess.eybond.com to this proxy.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Java 11
• Maven

Compilation

To compile the project, use the following Maven command:

mvn package -f "pom.xml"

This will generate a binary JAR file in target/smartess-proxy-0.0.14-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Docker

Then you can create a container with docker build . -t smartess-proxy:latest or docker-compose.build

fakeClient=true
mqttServer=172.16.2.1
mqttPort=1883
