home-broker

A LAN server system desighed to run on low end Linux SBCs
It is best described as a System of Systems, gluing together other open source projects.
Now moved to: MQTT-home/linux/home-broker

Features:

  • MQTT - A IBM designed messaging system for devices
  • WeMo -
  • ZigBee Home Automation Devices
  • IP/WiFi MQTT home automation devices

It uses these other open source projects:

home-broker provides the following services:

  • Collecting IP/ZigBee devices into a simplified interface
  • Lightweight HTTP serverer for:
    • maintain/map fauxmo devices
    • provides a link zigbee2mqtt to maintain zigbee devices
    • allow manual entry of custom IP devices
    • auto collects home-broker IP devices
    • view consilodated devices and generated pub/sub topics/payloads
    • it can be used to test devices turn on and off
  • Publish a simplified JSON file of all IP and Zigbee devices
    • containing MQTT pup/sub and payload strings
    • Available to feed other Home Automation systems
  • A local MQTT Broker
  • A WeMo to MQTT device mapping

currently developed/tested on Raspbian Linux, should work on any linux/Unix
Written in Python3 with some SQL
Designed to require NO user configuration after a SD img is built.

Summary:

home-broker - a small dedicated mqtt, fauxmo and zigbee server
it consolodates zigbee and Internet/WiFi devices in a sqlite database.
It only collects and distributes configuration
It serves device information via pub/sub to extract devices from database
to be used by other automation systems.
This data is simplfied and provides formatted data including the pub/sub strings

Hardware requirements

SBC pretty much anything that can run Linux
with RJ45 to connect to the home router, it is a server and not designed to be WiFi
and a USB port for the zigbee dongle

Current development system:

  • Raspbian linux
  • AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato) SBC (because RPI 3's were unavailble)
  • SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle (compatable and cheap)
  • Here are the working dongles
