dali2mqtt

DALI <-> MQTT bridge

About

This daemon is inspired in zigbee2mqtt and provides the means to integrate a DALI light controller into your Home Assistant setup.

Previously I developed a Home Assistant custom component (https://github.com/dgomes/home-assistant-custom-components/tree/master/light) but I've since decided to run Home Assistant in another device, away from the physical DALI Bus.

How to use

Create a Virtual Environment (recommended) and install the requirements

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Setup systemd

sudo cp dali2mqtt.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable dali2mqtt.service 

Check everything is OK

sudo systemctl start dali2mqtt.service 
sudo systemctl status dali2mqtt.service 

Command line arguments and configuration file

When the daemon first runs, it creates a default config.yaml file. You can edit the file to customize your setup.
