deconz-mqtt

This is a Python library that talk to the deCONZ REST API and publishes devices to MQTT.

I have started simple and publish only the lights and their status. There is much on the TODO-list. Feel free to contribute with Issues or Pull Requests.

• Publish status of lights when changed by deCONZ
• Change more than just the dim level on the lights (saturation, hue etc.)
• Other devices

Installation

Clone this repository and make a production configuration file

$ clone https://github.com/xibriz/deconz-mqtt.git
$ cd deconz-mqtt/
$ cp config/default.cfg config/prod.cfg

Change all the FIXME values in config/prod.cfg exept for the api_key

Go to the SETTINGS tab in the Wireless Light web interface and click Unlock Gateway

Run the apikey.py script $ python apikey.py

Change the WorkingDirectory in deconz-mqtt.service

Copy the service file to the system-folder and enable the service

$ sudo cp deconz-mqtt.service /etc/systemd/service/
$ sudo systemctl enable deconz-mqtt.service
$ sudo systemctl start deconz-mqtt.service

Test

From a MQTT-client:

Get status from light 1 $ mosquitto_pub -t 'deconz/{group_name}/{light_name}/status' -m ''

Dim light 1 to 40% $ mosquitto_pub -t 'deconz/{group_name}/{light_name}/set' -m '40'

Turn off light 1 $ mosquitto_pub -t 'deconz/{group_name}/{light_name}/set' -m '0'

Note that the {group_name} and {light_name} is the defined names in deCONZ without spaces but case sensitive.
