MQTT Hub/Gateway

Support for Home Assistant

Just to let people know I now have a nodeRED flow available (beta) that will auto create devices from Homey into HomeAssistant. These are state synched and fully controllable from HA. You can include them in any UI you use on HA including TileBoard AIUI so you can create a Homey dashboard to your liking.If anyone would like to be a beta tester then PM me and I’ll send you instructions. I can help on Slack too. Shortly (based on feedback) I’ll post the code for anyone.

Just FYI you’ll need these things installed and setup:

MQTT-Gateway (homie or homie2 branch)

MQTT Client (beta version in app store)

Home Assistant (for new users I recommend hassio as it has addons available) but any version is OK

MQTT broker (also available as a hassio addon)

nodeRED (available as a hassio addon too)

Homey/Homey3 flow code (available from me)

NB At some point in the future HomeAssistant discovery should be added to MQTT-Gateway directly which will remove the need to use nodeRED but as it’s a great app you really should have it installed alongside HA anyway. Plus you can customise the flow easily.
