RFID usb 2mqtt for mir:ror by violet

Hi, i want to share this simple 2MQTT script.
It’s based on a mir:ror usb device from Violet company (creator of nabaz:tag and karotz)

It just parse mir:ror status and rfid tag directly to a mqtt broker.

I don’t think it needs an integration if someone really wants i could have a look but in my case it’s used on a remote pi and nuc, not on the HASS machine.

Hi,

I’m digging up this topic …
I am in the process of transferring my environment from Jeedom to Home Assistant and one of the things my daughters asked ( requested ) is that this mir:ror continues to work … It is used as a game/fun to run scenarios.

I’m not advanced enough to integrate your development into Home Assistant myself. Is it possible to have some exchanges on this ? My goal is to connect it to a remote RPI (or NUC) and then to HA.

I also saw that you did some development for the Karotz, I’m also interested in that: same goal, moving to Home Assistant while keeping the fun parts…

Thanks, merci
François

Hi.

It’s a simple python script all you need to do is to make it auto start on boot :+1:.

And little configuration for last IP at least.

I didn’t touch it sinc this post so do not remember so much.

For the karate, mine got wifi issue so I didn’t use it anymore. I remember they’re is a packages on GitHub to use it as is directly (all in one yaml files).

Do hesitate to ask here I’ll try to help as I can.

Also got power issue with RPI USB port and the Mir:ror watch out on this.
But don’t worry it will work.

You could already try it with jeedom ASI it push information to Matt directly.

Merci beaucoup pour tes réponses.

I’m going to reconnect everything and see what happens.

  • I had also had a power issue for the Mir:ror all at once, with an RPI, which I had not had at first. Switching to an NUC solved that problem.
  • I’m going to start by linking Jeedom and Home Assistant, it will make the transition easier.
  • For the Karotz, I only found your development: https://github.com/tikismoke/Home-Assistant-Karotz. Where should I put the file “openkartoz.yaml”?

Pas de souci.

It’s a fork of this repo:

You should put it in a packages rep and add the path in your configuration.yaml files.

For the mirror I use a special USB adapter I look at the ref if I refind it. Concretely it is an Y USB cable with a power only port that I plug to an USB 5v 2A port and a data only port. And you plug the mirror in it. This way I never add anymore problems. Something like this but not sure the power way of this one:
