dersimn/homepilot2mqtt repository overview

This bridge connects the Rademacher Homepilot2 to an MQTT broker. I've built and tested it for the RolloTube I-line DuoFern⁠ series, since this is the only device I've from Rademacher. Feel free to implement more functions, but please use the GitHub Fork system if you do so, so that I can track your improvements.

I also don't use any of the Homepilot's logic functions. Logic is done in an upper layer (MQTT, OpenHAB, ..), so if you want to use this library would recommend to disable all automatic functions (called "Scenes") in the Homepilot webinterface.

This project follows Oliver "owagner" Wagner⁠'s architectural proposal for an mqtt-smarthome⁠.
Built by copy-pasting together a bunch of snippets from Sebastian "hobbyquaker" Raff⁠'s mqtt-smarthome scripts. Initial idea from Marvin Heyder⁠.
