  • OpenMQTTGateway

    MQTT gateway for ESP8266 or ESP32 with bidirectional 433mhz/315mhz/868mhz, Infrared communications, BLE, Bluetooth, beacons detection, mi flora, mi jia, LYWSD02, LYWSD03MMC, Mi Scale, TPMS, BBQ thermometer compatibility & LoRa.

  • What I didn't know is that the ESP8266 is not just a Wifi module, it can be programmed and even run a web server inside. Of course there was a community leveraging this for IOT, and they led me to OpenMQTTGateway. This project collects various signals and sensor from IOT devices and sends it to a queue to be used by HomeAutomation services such as Home Assistant. Given my astonishment of the capacity of this module of course I didn't have any tools that would make my life easier in programming it.

  • Home Assistant

    :house_with_garden: Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first.

  • mqtt-exporter

    Simple generic MQTT Prometheus exporter for IoT working out of the box

  • To collect and view the sensor data I'm using Mosquitto, Prometheus, and Grafana. For Prometheus to be able to collect the data I'm running an exporter that reads the data from the queue and provides an HTTP endpoint in the format Prometheus expects.
