I was wondering what this qbusmqtt supported. I don't own a qbus installation myself, so can't test but I have a friend who I help out with his qbus... he now asks me to help him getting it on his home assistant. Will you publish also the sources and or documentation with features?

Hi @jschaeke Sorry for late reply. The source of this project is not open-source. With this project we provide a sort of gateway between the CTD and MQTT, because our current controller does not support MQTT. The protocol however is set up in a way that our new controller will use the same protocol.

For the moment we do not support HA, but you can use openHAB. From there you can send / receive data from / to HA.

We do have plans to support HA in the near future...

Good to hear home assistant is on the radar. Hopefully its integration will be worked out soon and becomes as easy as for example Velbus which I personally own (2 clicks installation and my Velbus devices appeared in HA). For my friend situation we sticked to the little qbusmqtt script I made earlier to get it in home assistant. It can run in a container on the home assistant installation itself on the same raspberry so the openhab workaround is not necessary.
