This is a Python utility that translates the deCONZ rest api to MQTT messages. Will later be using WebSockets for fetching changes on the fly that are published to MQTT. There is also a full update of all items every x minutes, to make sure we have the last updated values.

The utility is connecting to the deCONZ rest api

• Handle scenes
• OpenHAB examples and details about how to use it
• Get WebSocket port from config
• Config what to care about sensors, groups, lights etc

To get this working you must have deCONZ running on a computer and the deCONZ rest api in place

Clone this repo and install the dependencies

$ git clone this.repo 
$ cd this.repo
$ cp default.template.cfg default.cfg

• Update the new file default.cfgwith all the correct values
• Get a new api_key to insert if you do not have one

$ make init test run

Create systemd service, assuming repo was cloned to /home/pi folder on a RaspberryPi, adjust paths if needed

$ sudo ln -s /home/pi/deconz2mqtt/deconz2mqtt.service /etc/systemd/system/deconz2mqtt.service

Set permissions:

$ sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/deconz2mqtt.service

Reload systemd then enable the service at startup:

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable deconz2mqtt.service
$ sudo systemctl start deconz2mqtt.service

Check service status and view log snippet with:

$ sudo systemctl status deconz2mqtt.service

To view more lines of logs add -nXX where XX is the number of lines e.g. to view 50 lines of logs

$ sudo systemctl status deconz2mqtt.service -n50

Start, stop and restart with:

$ sudo systemctl start deconz2mqtt.service
$ sudo systemctl stop deconz2mqtt.service
$ sudo systemctl restart deconz2mqtt.service
