HA MQTT integration unstable? #3

Closed darkside90a closed 1 year ago

darkside90a commented 1 year ago

v0.5.0b7 is installed, and I have tested the Home Assistant MQTT integration. Does not seem to be very useful at the moment. Just a few telegrams after a reboot. I have tested running tcpdump on the HA/Mosquitto Pi. Nothing coming from Kegmon.

Apart from that: Many thanks for yet another useful project you have made!

Cheers Lars

I've not tested that part that much yet.

It will only push data when the level or pour has been detected. So I might need to trigger this at more events.

How would you expect it to work ? What data would you want to see in HA ?

darkside90a commented 1 year ago

Ah, I suspected that. I must have wiggled one of the kegs, because I did get name, abv, ibu and ebc from that one time. It would be nice if a telegram i sent maybe once an hour to confirm the unit is still alive - in addition to when a pour i detected. For me, name, abv & volume is enough. "Nice to have" are: glasses left and temp

Having data sent on a regular interval is a good idea. Temp should have a more frequent push to track that value, like 5 or 10 min. Glasses left is there as an attribute so you can get that data.

mp-se commented 1 year ago

I've done some changes to the HA integration and added so it will push data every 5 minutes when enabled. You can get the 0.5b9 build from the dev branch.

Temp is added as a separate sensor value

let me know if this works better
