Hi All,
I am using SeeedStudio Xiao ESP32C3 with a door sensor to detect an event of door open or close.
I have installed the mqtt broker on hassio, and configured the same in esp32c3 firmware.
I am successfully able to observe the sensor data in Serial Monitor, as well as when listening to the topic on hassio.
Arduino Serial Monitor Log:
Hassio listeing to topic:
Now, how do I display the sensor status on my dashboard?
I tried some attempts on modifying the configurations.yaml file, but no luck till now.
Screensnap of configurations.yaml file for hassio:
Any suggestions to achieve the same?
For reference, here is my esp32c3 firmware:
#include <PubSubClient.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
#define DOOR_SENSOR_PIN D1 // ESP32 pin GPIO19 connected to door sensor's pin
#define MQTT_SERVER "192.168.29.159" // Enter your MQTT broker address
#define MQTT_PORT 1883 // Enter your MQTT broker port
#define MQTT_USER "mqtt-user" // Enter your MQTT username
#define MQTT_PASSWORD "mqtt-passkey" // Enter your MQTT password
#define MQTT_CLIENT_ID "door_sensor" // Unique client ID for the door sensor
WiFiClient espClient;
PubSubClient client(espClient);
int currentDoorState; // current state of door sensor
int lastDoorState; // previous state of door sensor
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200); // initialize serial
pinMode(DOOR_SENSOR_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP); // set ESP32 pin to input pull-up mode
currentDoorState = digitalRead(DOOR_SENSOR_PIN); // read state
setup_wifi();
client.setServer(MQTT_SERVER, MQTT_PORT);
}
void setup_wifi() {
delay(10);
Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi");
WiFi.begin("Potato", "passkey");
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
delay(500);
Serial.print(".");
}
Serial.println("");
Serial.println("WiFi connected");
Serial.println("IP address: ");
Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
}
void reconnect() {
while (!client.connected()) {
Serial.print("Attempting MQTT connection...");
if (client.connect(MQTT_CLIENT_ID, MQTT_USER, MQTT_PASSWORD)) {
Serial.println("connected");
} else {
Serial.print("failed, rc=");
Serial.print(client.state());
Serial.println(" try again in 5 seconds");
delay(5000);
}
}
}
void loop() {
if (!client.connected()) {
reconnect();
}
client.loop();
lastDoorState = currentDoorState;
currentDoorState = digitalRead(DOOR_SENSOR_PIN);
if (lastDoorState == LOW && currentDoorState == HIGH) {
Serial.println("The door-opening event is detected");
client.publish("office/balcony/door", "OPEN"); // Publish MQTT message for door open
// TODO: turn on alarm, light or send notification ...
} else if (lastDoorState == HIGH && currentDoorState == LOW) {
Serial.println("The door-closing event is detected");
client.publish("office/balcony/door", "CLOSED"); // Publish MQTT message for door closed
// TODO: turn off alarm, light or send notification ...
}
}
FYI: I am already trying in parallel to integrate it with esphome, but no luck in waking up from deepsleep, so thought will give a try where I have more control to my firmware, and I can decide what I wanna do.
Thanks and regards,
Martian
