Jasper MQTT Module for my HAL9000 Raspberry PI Instructable
When triggered it publishes a simple MQTT event using the following topic:
hal9000/*device*/*index*
Available devices:
- device
- room
- light
- sensor
- door
Available indexes:
- one
- two
- three
- ...
- ten
Available topic messages:
- on
- off
- true
- false
- open
- close
- Install the python Mosquitto package:
sudo pip install paho-mqtt
- run the following commands in order:
git clone https://github.com/ArtBIT/jasper-module-mqtt.git
cp jasper-module-mqtt/Mqtt.py <path to jasper/client/modules>
#i.e. cp jasper-module-mqtt/Mqtt.py /usr/local/lib/jasper/client/modules/
- Edit
~/.jasper/profile.ymland add the follwing at the bottom:
mqtt:
hostname: 'your.mqtt.broker.hostname.or.ip'
port: 1883
protocol: 'MQTTv31' # Note: this should be either MQTTv31 or MQTTv311, I had problems with Ubuntu broker and MQTTv311
- Restart the Pi:
sudo reboot
Here are some examples:
YOU: Light one off
JASPER: *publishes an mqtt event* topic:hal9000/light/one message:off
YOU: Door two close
JASPER: *publishes an mqtt event* topic:hal9000/door/two message:close
