This adds MQTT features to Ubiquiti Networks mPower devices. This is version 2, which aims to comply with homie MQTT convention. The implementation of the convention is not complete yet.
Use at your own risk!
Use a SSH client and connect to your mPower device. Enter the following commands
mkdir /var/etc/persistent/mqtt
wget --no-check-certificate -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/magcode/mpower-tools/master/mqtt/client/install-client.sh -O /var/etc/persistent/mqtt/install-client.sh;chmod 755 /var/etc/persistent/mqtt/install-client.sh;/var/etc/persistent/mqtt/install-client.sh
save
reboot
/var/etc/persistent/mqtt/client/mqrun.sh
The script also starts automatically approx 3 minutes after booting the device (using rc.poststart).
/var/etc/persistent/mqtt/client/mqstop.sh
Edit the file /var/etc/persistent/mqtt/client/mqtt.cfg and configure your server, topic and refresh time. Setting topic, refresh, mqttusername and mqttpassword is not mandatory. Defaults are
topic=homie/[name of the mpower] and refresh=60 seconds
mqtthost=192.168.0.1
#refresh=60
#topic=my/topic
#mqttusername=myMqttUserName
#mqttpassword=myMqttPassword
You can suppress certain attributes (such as voltage) by editing the file mpower-pub.cfg. Set value to 0 if you dont need the data.
#enable (1) or disable (0) properties here
relay=1
power=1
energy=1
lock=1
voltage=0
You can configure the LED using the file led.cfg.
# set the led state using this configuration, none of the settings mandatory!
# afterboot ... led state after starting
# relay_off ... led state when all relays are OFF
# relay_on ... led state if at least one relay is ON
# 0=OFF, 1=BLUE, 2=YELLOW, 3=PURPLE
afterboot=3
# relay_on=1
# relay_off=0
The mPower device will publish messages every 60 seconds to different topics. Example:
homie/mpower-1/port1/relay=0
homie/mpower-1/port2/relay=1
homie/mpower-1/port3/relay=0
homie/mpower-1/port1/power=0.0
homie/mpower-1/port2/power=7.2
homie/mpower-1/port3/power=0.0
homie/mpower-1/port1/energy=0
homie/mpower-1/port2/energy=4
homie/mpower-1/port3/energy=8
homie/mpower-1/port1/voltage=0.0
homie/mpower-1/port2/voltage=234.9
homie/mpower-1/port3/voltage=0.0
Additionally - currently only at the start of the script - the device will also report:
homie/mpower-1/$homie=2.1.0
homie/mpower-1/$name=mpower-1
homie/mpower-1/$fw/version=MF.v2.1.11-mq-0.2
homie/mpower-1/$fw/name=mPower=MQTT
homie/mpower-1/$localip=192.168.1.26
homie/mpower-1/$nodes=port1,port2,port3
homie/mpower-1/$stats/uptime=2589629.67
homie/mpower-1/port1/relay/$settable=true
homie/mpower-1/port2/relay/$settable=true
homie/mpower-1/port3/relay/$settable=true
homie/mpower-1/port1/lock/$settable=true
homie/mpower-1/port2/lock/$settable=true
homie/mpower-1/port3/lock/$settable=true
You can control the sockets by sending 0 or 1 to the topic <topic chosen above>/port<number of socket>/relay/set
You can lock the sockets by sending 0 or 1 to the topic <topic chosen above>/port<number of socket>/lock/set
The tool logs into standard messages log.
tail -f /var/log/messages
This is an example how to define openHAB items:
Switch switchmp "My mpower switch" { mqtt=">[mosquitto:homie/mpower1/port1/relay/set:command:ON:1],>[mosquitto:homie/mpower1/port1/relay/set:command:OFF:0],<[mosquitto:homie/mpower1/port1/relay:state:MAP(mpowerrelay.map)]"}
Number energymp "Energy consumption [%d Wh]" { mqtt="<[mosquitto:homie/mpower1/port1/energy:state:default]" }
Number powermp "Current power [%.1f W]" { mqtt="<[mosquitto:homie/mpower1/port1/power:state:default]" }
You need a mpowerrelay.map file:
0=OFF
1=ON
