Hi @CODeRUS,

There are different way and devices on which you can install Home Assistant. Below are the steps with Raspberry Pi and Hassbian, you can you the same approach and adapt it for other devices supported by Home Assistant:

• Install Hassbian on Raspberry Pi

• Run the command below and enable I2C from Interfacing Options:

sudo raspi-config

• Install the MQTT broken Mosquitto usign the following work around for Hassbian 1.31:

sudo curl -o /opt/hassbian/suites/install_mosquitto.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ludeeus/Tools/master/hassbian-config/hotfix/install_mosquitto.sh && sudo hassbian-config install mosquitto

• Enable anonymous connection to the MQTT broker by editting the following setting in /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf:

allow_anonymous true

• Start Mosquitto and enable its automatic launch at boot:

sudo systemctl enable mosquitto.service
sudo systemctl start mosquitto.service

• Replace DEVICEID with the hash copied during the configuration of ANAVI Light Controller and add the following lines to configuration.yaml

# MQTT Broker (aka Mosquitto)
mqtt:
  discovery: true
  broker: hassbian.local
  port: 1883

# ANAVI Light Controller
light:
  - platform: mqtt_json
    name: "ANAVI Light Controller"
    command_topic: "cmnd/DEVICEID/color"
    brightness: true
    rgb: true

• Run the following command to restart Home Assistant and reload configurations:

sudo systemctl restart home-assistant@homeassistant.service

Best regards, Leon

okay, this kinda works, but i'd suggest to change topics to cmnd/deviceid/power to follow common iot mqtt practices. also it would be cool if device send retained stats to stat/deviceid/power. i think i can make a pr.

Cool, thank you for the feedback. It seems that you got it working so I am closing this particular issue.
