mqtt-presence-checker

Check if you (or your phone) is at home and notify your smarthome via mqtt. You can configure this daemon via a toml file in /etc/mqtt-presence-checker/mqtt-presence-checker.conf.

/etc/mqtt-presence-checker/mqtt-presence-checker.conf:

[main]
cooldown = 10
log = "/var/log/mqtt-presence-checker.log"

[mqtt]
host = "mqtt.example.org"
username = "<username>"
password = "<password>"
topic = "presence-checker/presence"

[mqtt.sensor.door-sensor]
topic = "zigbee2mqtt/door_sensor"
predicate = "lambda x: not x['contact']"

[ping]
hosts = [
    'alice.example.org',
    'bob.example.org'
]

This is rather rudimentary and might crash or behave strange. Feel free to fork me on github and send a PR if you find any bug!
