Home assistant pi zero w8/31/2023 ![]() ![]() For the moment I've only created devices for some key data. I need to review your documentation on ingesting this format. This is my first JSON formatted MQTT data and I'm on HS3 so I'm not sure exactly how to get most of this into related devices. Here's an example of the 2 topics generated per BLE beacon, I've formatted them with JSFormat for clarity. Right now I'm just working on getting the beacon home/away status working the same as your BLEMQTT binary. Updates seem to be blazingly fast, I'm getting new MQTT topics about once a second. I haven't yet added the Bluetooth Classic integration, as they recommend separate devices or expect slower updates if you run both on the same Pi. The room-assistant documentation is very good. Most of the data I copied directly from BLEMQTT.ini with a little massaging. Since I'm not using Home Assistant, my local.yml looks like this:Īll my BLE beacons are feasybeacons. ![]() Normal Raspberry Pi install is here Installation | room-assistant I used these instructions for my Pi Zero Raspberry Pi Zero W | room-assistant. Thanks to Eman for pointing out this software on another thread. I also may try the shell integration to get some RPI stats. Not knocking the direct BLE integration, I'm sure the issues I'm having with it are probably something I did wrong, but I was really interested in the standard bluetooth discovery as well as the BLE. I've setup room-assistant on my Pi Zero, and setup the MQTT broker integration and am working through the many options and configurations. ![]() There are some youtube videos showing tracking an Apple Watch. The intent of this software is to have multiple instances per room, and your presence will track from room to room using Bluetooth or BLE. Room-assistant supports not only BLE but also standard Bluetooth device discovery (what they refer to as Bluetooth Classic) as well as GPIO pins and shell commands, passing everything back to MQTT.įortunately, Home Assistant isn't a requirement, MQTT integration is drectly supported as well. I've been using the BLE integration of mcsMQTT for a few months runing BLEMQTT on a Raspberry Pi Zero, but am looking into room-assistant Introduction | room-assistant as a potential replacement for a couple of reasons:īLEMQTT has been unreliable on my Raspberry Pi Zero, requiring a restart about once a week. ![]() I've recently decided to start experimenting with room-assistant (from the Home Assistant team) and mcsMQTT. ![]()
