Overview

== YOU SHOULD NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT, BECAUSE IF THE SUBSCRIPTION ENDS THE PRODUCT WILL STOP WORKING AFTER A WHILE! (FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN IT IS NECESSARY TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DO IT WITHOUT A SUBSCRIPTION!!) ==

This program can be used to parse OWL Intuition packets (https://www.theowl.com/index.php/owl-intuition/), and publish to a mqtt server.

By default, it listen in multicast OWL address, but it you configure the push notifications (in https://www.owlintuition.com/) your server, you can listen in unicast by defining the owl_multicast=0 and owl_listen_ip.

Installation

Clone the repo

cd /opt
sudo git clone https://github.com/fapgomes/owl2mqtt.git

Copy the sample config file, and put your own configurations (leave owl_listen_ip blank, if you don't known)

cd /opt/owl2mqtt/
sudo cp owl2mqtt.conf-sample owl2mqtt.conf

Create the system file sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/owl2mqtt.service And add the following to this file:
