MQTT convention: Homie #25

Open davidgraeff opened 5 years ago

davidgraeff commented 5 years ago

I know this is a HA targeted project, but it could be used with auto discovery very easily in openHAB as well if a second mqtt convention could be supported:

homieiot.github.io

WDYT? :)

I would also like to use this great solution in conjunction with OpenHAB! I like the ESP32 HW and I need a flexible gateway/controller with support also BLE to integrate the new Xiaomi Mijia Temperature/Humidity LCD Sensor, which I have seen is already supported, but I don't know if/how it could be used to feed OpenHAB. Maybe via MQTT publishing? I looks like the esp32_ble_tracker hub ist the right component?

That would be super cool!

1.11.0 has long come and gone - is there any plans to implement this?

davidgraeff commented 5 years ago

Not by the ESPHome developers themselves, I guess

peterhoeg commented 5 years ago

Since @OttoWinter tagged this issue to a milestone, I was kind of hoping... ;-)

peterhoeg commented 5 years ago

@OttoWinter is it safe to assume there are no immediate plans to support the homie spec? Would you accept a PR that adds support?

OttoWinter commented 5 years ago

@peterhoeg No not immediate plans. Also I think there will be other problems with homie convention, as ESPHome is more set up for single-topic publishing, but I'd take a PR that implements homie and doesn't cause issues for the normal MQTT protocol
