mkgin/tradfri_to_zabbix_trapper

Collects metrics from Tradfri gateway and sends them to a Zabbix server

pytradfri to zabbix.

• messing about for now and it's still a bit of a hack.
• prints out and can send values from remotes, motion detectors, light bulbs
• sends unique identifier ( device_id + created_at ) for discovery.
• key format is 'tradfri.device.(dict{application_type}).[device_id_created_at,parameter/key....]'

config

• see config.yml and own_config.yml
• own_config.yml overwrites the defaults in config if present.
• can use the same psk file from pytradfri examples. (tradfri_standalone_psk.conf)

Trådfri Gateway

• The Gateway crashes occasionally

  • https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/pytradfri#known-issues

• Trying to poll less frequently and not poll too many commands at once.

  • adjusting intervals between api requests
  • eventually may need to set up a watchdog to power cycle the gateway.

Recent changes

• gateway items
• get groups, put group name into devices data/inventory
• slow down polling the gateway
• poll lights, outlets and devices undergoing ota update regularly
• poll other items less often, first run + every quarter hour.

Todo:

• use my api polling module for sending stategies, polling intervals
• update zabbix templates
• test making a new PSK from Gateway secret
