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.
