I would like to have an MQTT Broker implemented on the HC2. This would enable the HC2 to easily access latest sensor data from other access clients like displays or apps.

Hi to you all! Maybe you know that I'm a critical HC2 user since 2013. In short, as I mention here I was feeling the Fibaro was holding me back in possibilities, privacy and security. So I started to investigate to get more control over what I think was important to me. I said I would abandon the HC2. The good news, I will not (for now). After extensive testing and trying to find a proper configuration, I found a way to implement the HC2, demanding my needs and wishes concerning: Security Privacy Possibilities Time to spend (re-configuring 200+ devices, 50 scenes and 30 Virtual Devices) The solution I'm implementing is a Raspberry Pi 3 with Node-Red for all communications from the HC2. In short, this means using the HC2 solely as a Z-wave controller and automation gateway. Setup: - The Node-Red will receive commands from the HC2 by an encrypted (https) and password protected connection. At this point it's still one way by sending from the HC2 to Node-Red. - The HC2 is (will be) blocked from internet access. Internet access to the HC2 will be done by VPN. - All other domotica devices are on a separate subnet (VLAN). - All messages (email/push/Telegram) is processed by Node-Red. (disabling all Fibaro 'services'). Example: An alarm is breached: - HC2 will send a message by https to Node-Red. - Node-Red sends IP-Camera snapshots to own email-server, push-account or private Telegram-bot. - Node-Red will check my Ubiquiti manage-switch to check if someone is at home (Mobile phone present in LAN) at will send result to push or Telegram. For sending data to Node-Red a scene is used with content of 5 Global Variable, triggered by one: SC_Nred_VarName (Name variable to send. used as trigger, must be written as last) SC_Nred_VarVal (Value to send) SC_Nred_VarType (not used yet, could be used for sending the type of value, like string, date, time etc.) SC_Nred_VarLog (data for storing data in Node-Red logfiles) SC_Nred_VarPath (path to the Node-Red http-receive-node, default /hc2) The scene code (Beta code 20170526): --[[ %% properties %% events %% globals SC_Nred_VarName --]] -- -- Initialisation of user settings (change if necessary) -- -- Global variables (has to be added manually in HC2 variables panel) local globVarName = 'SC_Nred_VarName'; -- Name of global variable to send (trigger!) local globVarValue = 'SC_Nred_VarVal'; -- Value of global variable to send local globVarType = 'SC_Nred_VarType'; -- Type of global variable to send local globVarLog = 'SC_Nred_VarLog'; -- Logmessage to send local globVarPath = 'SC_Nred_VarPath'; -- Node-Red http-node path to interact with -- Node-Red server connections credentials local nredIp = '192.168.x.x'; -- Node-RED server IP-address local nredPort = 1880; -- Node-Red server port number local nredUser = 'HC2'; -- Node-Red user used to change variables local nredPass = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'; -- Node-Red password of used user -- Node-Red server credentials options: true = Enable, false = Disable local nredUseLogin = false; -- TODO!!

Witam, Oto opis sytuacji: mam czujnik temperatury, wilgotności, ruchu oraz natężenia światła. Całość działa pod kodowaniem arduino. Informacje z czujki są wysyłane do serwera mqtt (CloudMQTT). Wygląda to tak na serwerze mqtt: sensornode_2{"state":"OFF","color":{"r":255,"g":255,"b":255},"brightness":255,"humidity":"45.90","motion":"standby","ldr":"903","temperature":"31.40","heatIndex":"26.40"} sensornode_1{"state":"OFF","color":{"r":255,"g":255,"b":255},"brightness":255,"humidity":"48.80","motion":"standby","ldr":"816","temperature":"31.10","heatIndex":"26.20"} Czy da się to przenieść na HC2 jako VD ?? Będę wdzięczny za pomoc.

Hi2Uall! I configured a (working) Raspberry Pi 3 Raspbian with Node-Red and MQTT (see this excellent YouTube video for explanation). Now on working, and learning (a lot) how to implement this. So far it is very useful to connect several IoT services. Did anyone have an idea how to connect the HC2 to an MQTT server?

Hi, I have mastervolt PV panels that have a cloud monitor with a public api The only issue is that the api is MQTT Does anybody know if a MQTT to RESTAPI exists that may run on a pi or other similar platform Thanks -f

Hi, My PV panel install from MasterVolt has a MQTT API Details here - IntelliWeb MQTT API spec does anybody know if it is possible access data from this api using vd or scene ? Thanks f
