Disable RTL_433 and just run MQTT Auto Discovery #12

Closed murkumurdok closed 2 years ago

murkumurdok commented 2 years ago

Hi, I have a feature request for an unconventional use-case: I am running rtl_433 on a separate machine because my HassOS VM was having some usb issues with the RTL2832U. I modified the rattler config to just subscribe to the events published by the other rtl_433 instance and it has been working well. I do it this way because, frankly, I think your device creation script works better than anyone else's. That being said, the built-in rtl_433 keeps running in the background and throwing up errors that no device is found. I don't think it's having a negative impact on HA other than filling up log entries, but I'm wondering how difficult it would be to implement a config option to disable the internal rtl_433 server. This would help people like me that prefer not to/can't run RTL on their HA machine.

Yeah, this should be easy enough to implement. Give me a day or two here to make the changes and rebuild the image.

Thanks very much. Take your time.

Alright, the latest version has an option that disables the running of rtl_433 within the Docker container. It still ends up running the s6 stuff, so the container still keeps running (and using a couple MB of RAM and like 0.01% CPU), but at least it's not hammering the logs with error messages. I'll have to look to see if there's a way to make S6 exit entirely if there's no running services, but that's a task for another day.

Awesome, thanks for your work!
