Meshtastic to Home Assistant (Hass)
A Python client for use with Meshtastic devices. The client connects to a mesh radio via USB serial port. Telemetry and position messages from the mesh are published to an MQTT broker and further into Home Assistant. All MQTT entities will by auto discovered in Home Assistant.
Usage
usage: meshtastic2hass [-h] [--config CONFIG] [--dev DEV] [--mqtt-host MQTT_HOST] [--mqtt-port MQTT_PORT] [--mqtt-user MQTT_USER]
[--mqtt-password MQTT_PASSWORD] [--mqtt-topic-prefix MQTT_TOPIC_PREFIX] [--use-network USE_NETWORK]

--mqtt-password MQTT_PASSWORD

--use-network USE_NETWORK
Use network connection to Meshtastic interface instead of serial
--hostname HOSTNAME Meshtastic interface network hostname or IP
--version show programs version number and exit
Node Filter
By default all received Meshtastic nodes will create entities in Home Assistant.
This might be an undesired behavior when only some nodes are of interest. A node filter can be defined in config.toml.
filter_nodes = [] takes a set of Meshtastic nodes short names to be includes in filter. Only these nodes will be forwarded to home assistant via MQTT topic, hence creating entities. Keep empty to forward all nodes.
Receiving channels text from nodes is not filtered at all.
Build
Requires tox. Builds an sdist and wheel into dist/, versioned from the current git tag/commit:
tox -e clean # remove old build/dist/*.egg-info
tox -e build
