Noisebuster, now working through MQTT for my fellow HA friends

Hi All,

It’s been a year since I shared NoiseBuster

What’s New in NoiseBuster?

Home Assistant Integration with MQTT: Now you can seamlessly add noise monitoring stats directly to your Home Assistant dashboard using MQTT.

RTSP & Pi Camera Support: You can now integrate IP cameras or Raspberry Pi cameras to capture snapshots automatically when noise levels exceed a certain threshold.

Real-Time Monitoring & Separate Buckets: NoiseBuster now includes real-time monitoring data stored in a separate InfluxDB bucket for easier and more precise analysis.

Discord Webhook Support: Get alerts directly on Discord when noise events occur, or even when APIs fail!

Weather API Support: With OpenWeatherMap integration, you can correlate noise levels with weather conditions, giving insights into how environmental factors impact noise.

Telraam Support: If you have a Telraam device, NoiseBuster can now display vehicle counts and speeds alongside noise levels, adding another dimension to traffic monitoring.

But that’s not all! I’m also on the verge of releasing a home-trained YOLOv11 model

Why NoiseBuster?

The goal is to provide real graphical data to display to local authorities, in hopes of improving traffic control and reducing noise pollution. I use Grafana to visualize the data, and I’ve shared my Grafana dashboard on the GitHub page so you can easily replicate it. NoiseBuster can show:

Real-time monitoring with daily, weekly, and monthly summaries of noise events over 80dB.

Detailed breakdowns of maximum noise levels with pie charts and hourly events to understand peak times.

Get Started

If you’re interested in noise monitoring, check out the NoiseBuster GitHub Repository. It has everything you need to get set up with InfluxDB, Grafana, and Home Assistant.

I hope these new features are useful, and I’d love to hear your feedback. NoiseBuster is open source and free for non-commercial use, so feel free to dive in and customize it for your own environment. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries of environmental noise monitoring! :raised_hands:
