KAKU A new protocol supported by OpenMQTTGateway

The first gateway done with OpenMQTTGateway was the RF one based on RCSwitch (all began with that :-)).

This library is quite robust and support some basic protocols, unfortunately its development is not so active.

You could ask me to add protocols directly to the RCSwitch library, but without going this way I was looking for protocols adds with efficient solutions already built (time is a rare commodity).

By googling and discussing on the forums I found the NewRemoteSwitch library from Fuzzylogic.

This library enables to control among others KlikAanKlikUit devices with an Arduino. I tried to port to ESP8266 and with some lite modifications it worked! With the help of @DenDeze who did some tests on the library modification, KAKU is now integrated to the gateway since V0.4-beta release.

The KAKU Protocol is used for instance by DIO chacon devices. Example below :

For this gateway named RF2 I use the same hardware receiver and transmitter as RCSwitch gateway with also the same pinout.

Sending signal was tested and works well. You will find how to use this gateway on the wiki.

Receiving is now also implemented with the help of @zerinrc and @larsenglund

Now we can increase again the number of devices compatibles with OpenMQTTGateway!

433toMQTTto433 - Bidirectional ESP8266 NodeMCU gateway between RF 433Mhz signal and MQTT

The goal is to act as a gateway between 433Mhz sensors and a MQTT broker or between the MQTT broker and 433Mhz actuators, It enables to: receive MQTT data from a topic and send RF 433Mhz signal corresponding to the received MQTT data publish MQTT data to a different topic related to received 433Mhz signal It can be an interesting part in an home automation system so as to interface sensors and actuators (wall sockets) with software like openhab . List of compatible sensors here The interest of putting this gateway to an ESP8266 and not on a raspberry pi is to be able to manage security actions at gateway level (power on a siren, cut power to certain devices) following RF data received by sensors without being dependent to the PI for security related actions. [EDIT] all infos are now centralized into the github repository take a look at it you will find up to date info about OpenMQTTGateway You need: Software: Mosquitto Arduino IDE latest version (tested ok with 1.6.10

Infrared IR, 433mhz and MQTT on ESP8266 bidirectional gateway OpenMQTTGateway

Following discussions on the home assistant forum people gave me the idea to add Infrared communication to the 433mhz gateway. The goal is to act as a gateway between 433Mhz sensors, infrared remote controls and a MQTT broker or between the MQTT broker and 433Mhz actuators, infrared devices, It enables to: receive MQTT data from a topic and send RF 433Mhz signal corresponding to the received MQTT data publish MQTT data to a different topic related to received 433Mhz signal receive MQTT data from a topic and send infrared signal corresponding to the received MQTT data publish MQTT data to a different topic related to received infrared signal It can be an interesting part in an home automation system so as to interface sensors and actuators (wall sockets), your tv, home cinema, hifi ... with software like openhab or home assistant . List of compatible RF sensors here [EDIT] all infos are now centralized into the github repository take a look at it you will find up to d

Get your BLE sensors data into Home Assistant in 5 minutes

You can now upload your board directly from the web browser! So let's imagine you want to read data from a sensor like a Mi Flora, an LYWSD03MMC, a weight scale, or any other BLE sensor from this list Plug an ESP32 dev board to your computer USB port Go to this website: https://docs.openmqttgateway.com/upload/web-install.html Select esp32dev-ble Click the install button Depending on your board you may have to press the BOOT button Choose the port that the ESP is connected to. Wait until the process is complete. Release the BOOT button That's it, OMG is now loaded into your ESP32 board without Arduino IDE, platformIO or a binary flasher. Here are the steps in images: Now comes the Home Assistant part: Add the MQTT integration and activate auto discovery Create a user and a password (Configuration->Users) without administrator right for the gateway Well, this is enough for Home Assistant. So let's now connect both: Check the Wifi Access points available with your smartph
