mqtt2lcdd

Small python script that reads values from a mqtt broker and puts them on a 16x2 Character LCD using lcdproc. Used for displaying temperature levels from my heating system. Makes use of the following:

• Adafruit Blue&White 16x2 LCD+Keypad Kit for Raspberry Pi
• lcdproc. A client/server suite for controlling a wide variety of LCD devices
• pylcddc. A python library for interfacing with LCDd, the server component of the commonly known LCDproc
• Mosquitto MQTT broker
• hometop_HT3. Used for reading various values from my heaters system-bus and sending them to the MQTT broker

Autostart the script on boot:

1. Make sure the paths in the mqtt2lcdd.service file are correct
2. sudo cp mqtt2lcdd.service /etc/systemd/system/mqtt2lcdd.service
3. sudo systemctl enable mqtt2lcdd.service
4. sudo systemctl start mqtt2lcdd.service
