ATI-Status-MQTT

Publish Acronis True Image backup status notifications to Home Assistant via MQTT

Configuration

Open ati-status-mqtt.py and enter your MQTT hostname and credentials into the variables at the top of the file

Usage

Note: This script currently only supports Acronis True Image 2021

Check your Python version and make sure version 3.8 or newer is installed on your system:

python3 --version

Install required python3 modules:

pip3 install paho-mqtt

Running the Python script will publish the status of all your backups using the notifications that are currently available in the Acronis status menu extra applet. Home Assistant will automatically discover the new entities, and you can customize the names / icons as usual.

Installation

Mac

Install LaunchAgent to run the script hourly:

sudo cp ati-status-mqtt.py /usr/local/bin
mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents
cp org.c99.ati-status-mqtt.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.c99.ati-status-mqtt.plist

Windows

Create a new task in Windows Task Scheduler:

Copy ati-status-mqtt.py to C:\ati-status-mqtt.pyw (The pyw extension prevents a CMD window from opening when the script runs)
Launch Windows Task Scheduler
Right click Task Scheduler Library and choose Import Task…
Browse to ATI-Status-MQTT.xml
Customize settings and then save the task
Right click the task and choose Run to start it
