This is really cool!
I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. I mean really the problem is that Zigbee2MQTT lets you configure things on the “About,” “Settings,” and “Settings (specific)” tabs of a device, but it doesn’t let you configure things on the “Exposes,” “Bind,” “Reporting,” or “Scene” tabs of a device, for some reason. Right now, I’m using Inovelli Bulk Configuration (Zigbee2MQTT), which works great for Inovelli Blue devices, but it only works for Inovelli Blue devices. It’d be great to have something a little more generic for other devices (or to replace that Blueprint, for consistency).
The core architecture seems to be similar to a k8s Controller (which is really just a specific type of control loop). Dunno if you’re familiar with that.
Something that’s a little unclear is whether you can apply multiple different profiles to a single device. From this line here: configuration_engine/README.md at 7e28051987d4055536715ac0274b55bd44c64bd0 · SoundOfMind/configuration_engine · GitHub, it sort of seems like you can. But it’s not explicitly called out anywhere. Some examples of where I find that useful:
- Every switch should have the same “double tap is maximum brightness/speed” behavior.
- Every switch should have the same button press delay.
- Every mmWave switch should have the same z values (since all of my switches are at the same height).
- Etc.
I’d imagine that each of those could be a profile, and then you apply them to multiple devices. Is that how it works?
In any case, if you could provide an image for it, I’d be down to give it a try.
