automationphat-mqtt

Reads Automation pHAT ADC inputs and GPIO IOs and sends it to MQTT server. Allows controlling outputs via MQTT. Requires and relies heavily on pimoroni/automation-hat libraries. Enables (easy?) integration to for example Home Assistant.

Suggested hardware:

Pretty much any Raspberry Pi will do with Raspberry OS (former Raspbian).

And one of the pHAT/HAT supported by pimoroni library:

• Pimoroni Automation pHAT (discontinued).

• As automation pHAT is disconued, i also added support for Automation HAT which i have.

• Latest Automation HAT Mini should also be partly supported, but i haven't tested it.

Usage

Pimoroni library uses smbus to detect board type so this script need it too. Enable it if you haven't already:
sudo raspi-config -> Interfacing options -> P5 I2C -> enable -> restart

Create python venv if desired. Clone the repository. Copy automationphat-mqtt.conf.example to automationphat-mqtt.conf and modify as needed. Install requirements from requirements.txt. Run. For usage with home assistant see following example.

Example home assistant configuration.yaml entry:
