Plejd bridge?

Configuration
1

I am new here, so I hope that I don’t break any rules…

I have been looking around to find Plejd integrations for my HA setup. I have found hassio-plejd which looks promising. However, as far as I can tell, that is run inside HA as an addon. In my case I run HA as a Docker container in my Synology NAS (which has zero bluetooth capabilities), but I do have a Raspberry Pi, which already acts as a Zigbee/mqtt bridge in my system.

Is there a way to run hassio-plejd “standalone”, to have it simply act as a Plejd/mqtt bridge, or is there another such thing out there that I have not found?

Did you find a solution?

Also looking for a solution for this. I’m using a similar setup running on a docker container without Bluetooth capability. Bought the Plejd bridge hoping the HomeKit integration they released would make it possible to connect it to HA with the HomeKit Device integration but I was never able to make this work.

Looks like an updated was all I needed. Pulled the last stable version of HA container and deleted the bridge on my phone. It showed up right away HA. Needed the Plejd support to provide the home kit pairing code for my Plejd Gateway since mine was too old to be provided with one from the get go. Now it’s all good for me. Finally.

For future reference, I got it solved like this:

  1. I clone this git repo into a Raspberry Pi: GitHub - thomasloven/plejd2mqtt
  2. I created a systemd service for it, full unit file below (with placeholders for individual information):
[Unit]
Description=plejd2mqtt
After=network.target

[Service]
Environment=NODE_ENV=production
Environment=PLEJD_SITE="{YOUR SITE NAME}"
Environment=PLEJD_USERNAME="{YOUR PLEJD USER NAME}"
Environment=PLEJD_PASSWORD="{YOUR PLEJD PASSWORD}"
Environment=MQTT_BROKER="mqtt://{YOUR MQTT BROKER IP ADDRESS}"
ExecStart=node main.js
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/plejd2mqtt
StandardOutput=inherit
StandardError=inherit
Restart=always
RestartSec=10s
User={YOUR RASPBERRY PI USER NAME}

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

This has worked well for me.

Hello, I am completely new to the topic of HA and also have Plejd products that I would like to integrate.
Unfortunately I understand almost nothing of what you have written here, could you please explain it to me step by step? HA is currently still running on my Windows laptop.
Thanks

This is a comprehensive explanation on how to integrate Plejd to HA with the use of Home Kit. In Swedish thought…
