bridge]]> + + 2017-03-28T06:00:00+00:00 + https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/03/28/http-to-mqtt-bridge + The idea of creating HTTP to MQTT bridge appeared when I was trying to integrate Google Assistant with my Home Assistant after watching BRUH Automation video. Right now there is no MQTT service available in IFTTT. Existing integration solution uses Maker Webhooks which requires that your Home Assistant instance is publically accessible, which I think brings some security concerns or simply not always possible to set up.

+ +

The HTTP to MQTT bridge should fill that gap. The idea is to receive messages using HTTP requests and transfer them to your MQTT broker, which can be contacted by Home Assistant. The HTTP to MQTT bridge is written using Node.js with Express for the server part and MQTT.js for the client.

+ + + +

The app could be hosted on any Node.js hosting. I prefer Heroku: Cloud Application Platform for its simplicity.

+ +

Bringing pieces together

+ +
    +
  1. Configure the Home Assistant MQTT trigger.
    2. +
  2. Configure CloudMQTT. Check this video tutorial for details.
    3. +
  3. Deploy HTTP to MQTT bridge app.
    4. +
  4. Add the (Configuration Variables)(https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/config-vars#setting-up-config-vars-for-a-deployed-application) to your Heroku app mentioned here. +
      +
    • AUTH_KEY: Can be any string, eg. 912ec803b2ce49e4a541068d495ab570.
      • +
    • MQTT_HOST: The host of your MQTT broker, eg. mqtts://k99.cloudmqtt.com:21234.
      • +
    • MQTT_USER: MQTT username
      • +
    • MQTT_PASS: MQTT password
      • +
    +
    5. +
  5. Create an IFTTT applet the same way as described in BRUH Automation video.
    6. +
  6. Configure Maker Webhooks service with below parameters. +
      +
    • URL: https://<app_name>.herokuapp.com/post/
      • +
    • Method: POST
      • +
    • Content Type: application/json
      • +
    • Body: {"topic":"<mqtt_topic>","message":"<mqtt_message>","key":"<AUTH_KEY>"}
      • +
    +
    7. +
+ +

Subscribe to latest version

+ +

Additionally you can make Heroku to update the HTTP to MQTT bridge app to the latest available version from the GitHub repository automatically. To do this follow the instruction on the Heroku help page.

+ +

Improve response time

+ +

After 30 minutes of inactivity Heroku will put your app into sleep mode. This will result in ~10 seconds response time. To prevent Heroku from putting your app into sleep mode, ping it every 10 minutes. You can do that by sending regular HTTP GET request to http://your_app/keep_alive/. But be careful. Heroku free quota is 550 hours per month. Without sleeping your app will be allowed to run only 22 days a month. Additionally the keep_alive method will send a simple MQTT message to prevent the broker from sleeping as well. The topic and message can be configured using Heroku environment variables KEEP_ALIVE_TOPIC and KEEP_ALIVE_MESSAGE and both are set to “keep_alive” by default.

+ +

You can even configure Home Assistant to ping HTTP to MQTT bridge every 10 minutes during daytime. Below is an example of how to do that:

+ +
rest_command:
+  http_to_mqtt_keep_alive:
+    url: https://<your_app_address>/keep_alive/
+    method: get
+
+automation:
+  alias: HTTP to MQTT keep alive
+  trigger:
+    platform: time
+    minutes: '/10'
+    seconds: 00
+  condition:
+    condition: time
+    after: '7:30:00'
+    before: '23:59:59'
+  action:
+    service: rest_command.http_to_mqtt_keep_alive
+
+
+ +

Thanks

+ +

Special thanks to Ben from BRUH Automation for awesome tutorials which inspired me to do this project.

- -

Hacktoberfest

-

The Hacktoberfest is over now. Home Assistant made the 2nd and the 3rd place out of almost 30’000 participating repositories with a total of 528 pull requests closed - that’s an average of 17 pull requests a day! Thanks to all the contributors but also to the team of reviewers. This wouldn’t been possible without you 👏 .

- -

Improved error reporting

-

This release has improved the reporting when a config validation error occurs. Thanks to @kellerza you will now get a persistent notification added to your UI when this happens.

- -

Asynchronous

-

This release contains the first asynchronous sensor and camera platforms. @pvizeli and @fabaff ported most of the “internal” sensors to async programming. We hope that you will enjoy the new speed.

- -

@balloob and @pvizeli worked a lot on the improvement of the core itself.

- -

Weather component

- -

For a long time we have had a bunch of weather sensors but it’s getting better: There is now a Weather component. Sorry, not much more to tell right now. The plans are to create a weather UI element and to improve the initial implementation.

    HTTP to MQTT bridge

    +
    +

    The idea of creating HTTP to MQTT bridge appeared when I was trying to integrate Google Assistant with my Home Assistant after watching BRUH Automation video. Right now there is no MQTT service available in IFTTT. Existing integration solution uses Maker Webhooks which requires that your Home Assistant instance is publically accessible, which I think brings some security concerns or simply not always possible to set up.

    +

    The HTTP to MQTT bridge should fill that gap. The idea is to receive messages using HTTP requests and transfer them to your MQTT broker, which can be contacted by Home Assistant. The HTTP to MQTT bridge is written using Node.js with Express for the server part and MQTT.js for the client.

    + +

    The app could be hosted on any Node.js hosting. I prefer Heroku: Cloud Application Platform for its simplicity.

    +

    Bringing pieces together

    +
      +
    1. Configure the Home Assistant MQTT trigger.
      2. +
    2. Configure CloudMQTT. Check this video tutorial for details.
      3. +
    3. Deploy HTTP to MQTT bridge app.
      4. +
    4. Add the (Configuration Variables)(https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/config-vars#setting-up-config-vars-for-a-deployed-application) to your Heroku app mentioned here. +
        +
      • AUTH_KEY: Can be any string, eg. 912ec803b2ce49e4a541068d495ab570.
        • +
      • MQTT_HOST: The host of your MQTT broker, eg. mqtts://k99.cloudmqtt.com:21234.
        • +
      • MQTT_USER: MQTT username
        • +
      • MQTT_PASS: MQTT password
        • +
      +
      5. +
    5. Create an IFTTT applet the same way as described in BRUH Automation video.
      6. +
    6. Configure Maker Webhooks service with below parameters. +
        +
      • URL: https://<app_name>.herokuapp.com/post/
        • +
      • Method: POST
        • +
      • Content Type: application/json
        • +
      • Body: {"topic":"<mqtt_topic>","message":"<mqtt_message>","key":"<AUTH_KEY>"}
        • +
      +
      7. +
    +

    Subscribe to latest version

    +

    Additionally you can make Heroku to update the HTTP to MQTT bridge app to the latest available version from the GitHub repository automatically. To do this follow the instruction on the Heroku help page.

    +

    Improve response time

    +

    After 30 minutes of inactivity Heroku will put your app into sleep mode. This will result in ~10 seconds response time. To prevent Heroku from putting your app into sleep mode, ping it every 10 minutes. You can do that by sending regular HTTP GET request to http://your_app/keep_alive/. But be careful. Heroku free quota is 550 hours per month. Without sleeping your app will be allowed to run only 22 days a month. Additionally the keep_alive method will send a simple MQTT message to prevent the broker from sleeping as well. The topic and message can be configured using Heroku environment variables KEEP_ALIVE_TOPIC and KEEP_ALIVE_MESSAGE and both are set to “keep_alive” by default.

    +

    You can even configure Home Assistant to ping HTTP to MQTT bridge every 10 minutes during daytime. Below is an example of how to do that:

    +
    rest_command:
+  http_to_mqtt_keep_alive:
+    url: https://<your_app_address>/keep_alive/
+    method: get
+
+automation:
+  alias: HTTP to MQTT keep alive
+  trigger:
+    platform: time
+    minutes: '/10'
+    seconds: 00
+  condition:
+    condition: time
+    after: '7:30:00'
+    before: '23:59:59'
+  action:
+    service: rest_command.http_to_mqtt_keep_alive
+
    +
    +

    Thanks

    +

    Special thanks to Ben from BRUH Automation for awesome tutorials which inspired me to do this project.

The [documentation](http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp8266/esp8266_contents.html) covers a lot of ground. This post is providing only a little summary which should get you started. - -Until a couple of weeks ago, the pre-built MicroPython binary for the ESP8266 was only available to backers of the Kickstarter campaign. This has changed now and it is available to the public for [download](https://micropython.org/download/#esp8266). - - - -The easiest way is to use [esptool.py](https://github.com/themadinventor/esptool) for firmware handling tasks. First erase the flash: - -```bash -$ sudo python esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 erase_flash -esptool.py v1.0.2-dev -Connecting... -Erasing flash (this may take a while)... -``` - -and then load the firmware. You may adjust the file name of the firmware binary. - -```bash -$ sudo python esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 460800 write_flash --flash_size=8m 0 esp8266-2016-07-10-v1.8.2.bin -esptool.py v1.2-dev -Connecting... -Running Cesanta flasher stub... -Flash params set to 0x0020 -Writing 540672 @ 0x0... 540672 (100 %) -Wrote 540672 bytes at 0x0 in 13.1 seconds (330.8 kbit/s)... -Leaving... -``` - -Now reset the device. You should then be able to use the [REPL (Read Evaluate Print Loop)](http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp8266/esp8266/tutorial/repl.html#getting-a-micropython-repl-prompt). On Linux there is `minicom` or `picocom`, on a Mac you can use `screen` (eg. `screen /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART 115200`), and on Windows there is Putty to open a serial connection and get the REPL prompt. - -The [WebREPL](http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp8266/esp8266/tutorial/repl.html#webrepl-a-prompt-over-wifi) work over a wireless connection and allows easy access to a prompt in your browser. An instance of the WebREPL client is hosted at [http://micropython.org/webrepl](http://micropython.org/webrepl). Alternatively, you can create a local clone of their [GitHub repository](https://github.com/micropython/webrepl). This is neccessary if your want to use the command-line tool `webrepl_cli.py` which is mentionend later in this post. - -```bash -$ sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -#4 ets_task(4020e374, 29, 3fff70e8, 10) -WebREPL daemon started on ws://192.168.4.1:8266 -Started webrepl in setup mode -could not open file 'main.py' for reading - -#5 ets_task(4010035c, 3, 3fff6360, 4) -MicroPython v1.8.2-9-g805c2b9 on 2016-07-10; ESP module with ESP8266 -Type "help()" for more information. ->>> -``` - -

    -The public build of the firmware may be different than the firmware distributed to the backers of the Kickstarter campaign. Especially in regard of the [available modules](http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp8266/py-modindex.html), turned on debug messages, and alike. Also, the WebREPL may not be started by default. -

    - -Connect a LED to pin 5 (or another pin of your choosing) to check if the ESP8266 is working as expected. - -```python ->>> import machine ->>> pin = machine.Pin(5, machine.Pin.OUT) ->>> pin.high() -``` - -You can toogle the LED by changing its state with `pin.high()` and `pin.low()`. - -Various ESP8266 development board are shipped with an onboard photocell or a light dependent resistors (LDR) connected to the analog pin of your ESP8266 check if you are able to obtain a value. - -```python ->>> import machine ->>> brightness = machine.ADC(0) ->>> brightness.read() -``` - -Make sure that you are familiar with REPL and WebREPL because this will be needed soon.

Basically you need to upload a `boot.py` file to the microcontroller and this file is taking care of the connection setup. Below you find a sample which is more or less the same as shown in the [documentation](http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp8266/esp8266/tutorial/network_basics.html#configuration-of-the-wifi). - -```python -def do_connect(): - import network - - SSID = 'SSID' - PASSWORD = 'PASSWORD' - - sta_if = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF) - ap_if = network.WLAN(network.AP_IF) - if ap_if.active(): - ap_if.active(False) - if not sta_if.isconnected(): - print('connecting to network...') - sta_if.active(True) - sta_if.connect(SSID, PASSWORD) - while not sta_if.isconnected(): - pass - print('Network configuration:', sta_if.ifconfig()) -``` - -Upload this file with `webrepl_cli.py` or the WebREPL: - -```bash -$ python webrepl_cli.py boot.py 192.168.4.1:/boot.py -``` - -If you reboot, you should see your current IP address in the terminal. - -```bash ->>> Network configuration: ('192.168.0.10', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.0.1', '192.168.0.1') -``` - -First let's create a little consumer for Home Assistant sensor's state. The code to place in `main.py` is a mixture of code from above and the [RESTful API](/developers/rest_api/) of Home Assistant. If the temperature in the kitchen is higher than 20 °C then the LED connected to pin 5 is switched on. - -

    -If a module is missing then you need to download it from the [MicroPython Library overview](https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib) and upload it to the ESP8266 with `webrepl_cli.py` manually. -

    - -```python -# Sample code to request the state of a Home Assistant entity. - -API_PASSWORD = 'YOUR_PASSWORD' -URL = 'http://192.168.0.5:8123/api/states/' -ENTITY = 'sensor.kitchen_temperature' -TIMEOUT = 30 -PIN = 5 - -def get_data(): - import urequests - url = '{}{}'.format(URL, ENTITY) - headers = {'x-ha-access': API_PASSWORD, - 'content-type': 'application/json'} - resp = urequests.get(URL, headers=headers) - return resp.json()['state'] - -def main(): - import machine - import time - - pin = machine.Pin(PIN, machine.Pin.OUT) - while True: - try: - if int(get_data()) >= 20: - pin.high() - else: - pin.low() - except TypeError: - pass - time.sleep(TIMEOUT) - -if __name__ == '__main__': - print('Get the state of {}'.format(ENTITY)) - main() -``` - -Upload `main.py` the same way as `boot.py`.

    The idea of creating HTTP to MQTT bridge appeared when I was trying to integrate Google Assistant with my Home Assistant after watching BRUH Automation video. Right now there is no MQTT service available in IFTTT. Existing integration solution uses Maker Webhooks which requires that your Home Assistant instance is publically accessible, which I think brings some security concerns or simply not always possible to set up.

    +

    The HTTP to MQTT bridge should fill that gap. The idea is to receive messages using HTTP requests and transfer them to your MQTT broker, which can be contacted by Home Assistant. The HTTP to MQTT bridge is written using Node.js with Express for the server part and MQTT.js for the client.

    One of the hardest part of being a parent is keeping a constant eye on the baby to make sure that baby is doing well. Thus, it is not surprising that baby monitors are one of the fastest growing baby product category. However, many of the baby monitors available on the market are rather dumb and expect the parents to keep looking at the video stream or listen to the audio. This how-to will help you create a smart baby monitor on a budget and integrate it with Home Assitant. Instead of relying on the poor quality baby monitor speakers, we use our existing speakers (eg. Sonos). We can also send notifications (with pictures) to avoid constant monitoring of the feed.

    Obviously, you can use the setup as a general purpose surveillance system to monitor noise in the whole house.

    This is a guest post by Home Assistant user and contributor Nolan Gilley.

    +

    In our house, laundry has been a struggle for quite some time. Our washer and dryer both lack a buzzer which leads to forgotten laundry, and stinky mess that needs to be rewashed. I decided to create a solution by monitoring the washer and dryer myself with some cheap electronics.

    +

    As an avid user of Home Assistant, I decided it would be the perfect application to manage the UI and notification system. Now all I needed was a way to monitor the washer and dryer. I tried using sound sensors but found them unreliable. I ended up opting for an accelerometer attached to the back of each appliance. I also added magnetic reed switches on the doors of the washer and dryer to detect if the doors are open or closed. I connected the accelerometers and reed switches to a Moteino, an arduino clone with an RF transceiver. The Moteino can perform the logic to figure out which state the appliances are in and wirelessly communicate that data with another Moteino that is connected via serial to my Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi reads the serial data and repeats it over MQTT for Home Assistant to use. This is great because I don’t have to run Home Assistant on the Raspberry Pi. I can run it on a faster machine and point the MQTT component to my Raspberry Pi.

    +

    After taking some sample data from the accelerometers while each appliance was in operation, I decided to plot the data to help determine the proper thresholds of when the devices were running or off. I had to do this in order to get precise ranges so the dryer sensor wouldn’t get tripped by the washer or vice versa. In the plot below you can see the acceleration in the x direction for the accelerometer connected to the washing machine. It’s easy to see when the washing machine is in operation here. I used the same technique for the dryer’s accelerometer.

    It is well known that you are either a good programmer or a good designer. It’s rare you’ll meet someone that is both. That’s why it wasn’t surprising to anyone that the logo that I made was mediocre — at best. Luckily, Jeremy Geltman has come to the rescue and contributed a brand new logo for Home Assistant.

    The new logo follows Googles material design spec. It uses the blue color that Home Assistant uses in the interface and it comes in two versions: a high detailed version (for homescreen icon etc) and a simple version (for favicon etc).

Hacktoberfest

-

The Hacktoberfest is over now. Home Assistant made the 2nd and the 3rd place out of almost 30’000 participating repositories with a total of 528 pull requests closed - that’s an average of 17 pull requests a day! Thanks to all the contributors but also to the team of reviewers. This wouldn’t been possible without you 👏 .

-

Improved error reporting

-

This release has improved the reporting when a config validation error occurs. Thanks to @kellerza you will now get a persistent notification added to your UI when this happens.

-

Asynchronous

-

This release contains the first asynchronous sensor and camera platforms. @pvizeli and @fabaff ported most of the “internal” sensors to async programming. We hope that you will enjoy the new speed.

-

@balloob and @pvizeli worked a lot on the improvement of the core itself.

-

Weather component

-

For a long time we have had a bunch of weather sensors but it’s getting better: There is now a Weather component. Sorry, not much more to tell right now. The plans are to create a weather UI element and to improve the initial implementation.

@balloob and @pvizeli worked a lot on the improvement of the core itself.

+

Weather component

+

For a long time we have had a bunch of weather sensors but it’s getting better: There is now a Weather component. Sorry, not much more to tell right now. The plans are to create a weather UI element and to improve the initial implementation.

+

Thanks to Anton Kireyeu we are able to present another awesome Jupyter notebook. I guess that you all know the graph which Github is using to visualize your commits per day over a time-line. It’s a so-called heatmap. If there are more commits, it’s getting hotter. The latest notebook is capable to do the same thing for your devices. To be more precise, for the hours your devices are home.

-Over a year ago I participated in the kickstarter campaign for “CHIP - The World’s First Nine Dollar Computer” by Next Thing Co.. I went for the PocketCHIP because of the idea. Display, built-in storage (thus no need for SD cards), battery-powered, and a keyboard are pretty nice features. Last week a package arrives…
