OpenMQTTGateway

OpenMQTTGateway project goal is to concentrate in one firmware different technologies and protocols, decreasing by the way the number of physical bridges needed, and hiding the different technologies singularity behind a simple & wide spread communication protocol; MQTT (opens new window).

Overview OpenMQTTGateway supports very mature technologies like basic 433mhz/315mhz protocols & infrared (IR) so you can make your old dumb devices "smart" and avoid throwing them away. These devices also have the advantages of having a lower cost compared to Zwave or more sophisticated protocols. OMG also supports up to date technologies like Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or LORA. To have an overview of the supported PIR, door, water, temperature, smoke sensors, sirens, rings, beacons, switches & weather stations you can take a look to the compatible devices list(opens new window)

With MQTT you can connect the compatible software you want, integrating in home automation controllers like (OpenHAB, Home Assistant, Jeedom, FHEM, Domoticz...) or Internet of Things software like Node-Red.

#Use cases With OpenMQTTGateway and a controller you can for example:

Monitor a garden with a Mi Flora BLE sensor and control an irrigation valve depending on the soil moisture, Trigger a fan depending on the temperature and humidity thanks to a Mi Jia BLE sensor, Alert yourself by a controller notification if the temperature of a fridge is too high, Detect a beacon/smartwatch so as to trigger a special scenario when you come home, Lose weight with the help of a complete log system (opens new window), video from @Andreas Spiess(opens new window) Detect opened door or windows through 433mhz or BLE and alert yourself when leaving Detect water leakage or smoke remotely Actionate a siren if something is going wrong Detect if your far mailbox has been opened by the postman with LORA Make smart your old TV or AC system through infrared control Monitor vehicle tire pressure The limit is your imagination 😀
