Hey Sebastian, yesterday I realized, that you missed a few spots :)
base_topic
Thanks!! Let me know if you are willing to do those things, otherwise I can look into some.
Btw. if you still want to discuss Homie vs. mqtt-smarthome, I'd be happy to but am not sure if the discussion would be better in public with others like marvinroger involved.
Hi Thomas! About the openHAB items generation: normally you don't have a "monolithic" software like openHAB or similar in an mqtt-smarthome environment. That's been one of our main goals while creating mqtt-smarthome - getting rid of software like openHAB :) So I'm not sure if this is really needed.... For the rest I will create a PR, no problem. I'm always open for discussions, whether in public or in private (you have my number) :-) Regards, Sebastian
Wow now we have to talk. π I totally disagree and would say MQTT needs something like openHAB. While MQTT provides the communication layer, an application like openHAB provides a rule engine, UIs and the linkage to other technologies. The important drawback of every single technology (be it Zwave, the Samsung TV or MQTT) is that it can't interface with others. openHAB closes that gap. Taking one step back: I know that you are already thinking about MQTT based Android UI apps or MQTT2xxx non-monolithic tools. I doubt these will ever offer the same ease of use openHAB is able to offer. All that said, if you bring forth some counter arguments I'll invest some more thought into that.
hehe :) i'm at home, just call me ;) i agree that software like e.g. IP-Symcon, ioBroker or openHAB can potentially bring in some comfort - but for me the drawbacks are too big, I don't need and I don't like software like openHAB... :) The gaps you mentioned can be closed in a less opinionated way too - I prefer the "KISS" principle ;)
I'm still in the office. Another time!
Me again ;)
Would be nice to have the reporting_method
mqtt-smarthome
- see https://github.com/mqtt-smarthome/mqtt-smarthomeChanges would include:
miflora/status
miflora/status/plant1/moisture
,miflora/status/plant2/conductivity
and so on. Payload following mqtt-smarthome architecture1
onmiflora/connected
when the daemon starts,2
when a bluetooth connection is established,0
as last-will testament.Would be willing to do this and send you a PR if you'd like to get one :)
Regards, Sebastian
