## Supported devices
## Features
* Highly extensible via custom workers
* Data publication via MQTT
* Configurable topic and payload
* MQTT authentication support
* Systemd service
* Reliable and intuitive
* Tested on Raspberry Pi Zero W
### Supported devices

* `python3`
* `pip3`
* `python3-serial` (MySensors specific)
### Installing
## Installation
Clone repo
On a modern Linux system, just a few steps are needed to get the gateway working.
The following example shows the installation under Debian/Raspbian:
```
```shell
sudo apt-get install git python3 python3-pip bluetooth bluez
git clone https://github.com/zewelor/bt-mqtt-gateway.git
cd bt-mqtt-gateway
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
```
Install requirements
## Configuration
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
All worker configuration is done in the file [`config.yaml`](config.yaml.example).
This file needs to be created first:
Copy and customize config file
```
```shell
cp config.yaml.example config.yaml
```
Run
```
vim config.yaml
./gateway.py
```
**Attention:**
You need to add at least one worker to your configuration.
Scan for available Bluetooth devices in your proximity with the command:
```shell
sudo hcitool lescan
```
## Execution
A test run is as easy as:
```shell
sudo ./gateway.py
```
Debug output can be displayed using the `-d` argument:
```shell
sudo ./gateway.py -d
```
## Deployment
This project includes an example Systemd service unit. In order to use it, copy `bt-mqtt-gateway.service` to `/etc/systemd/system/`. Edit the new file to use the correct absolute script paths and enable/start it.
```
Continuous background execution can be done using the example Systemd service unit provided.
```shell
sudo cp bt-mqtt-gateway.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start bt-mqtt-gateway
sudo systemctl status bt-mqtt-gateway
sudo systemctl enable bt-mqtt-gateway
```
```
sudo systemctl start bt-mqtt-gateway
```

## Built With
* [Python](https://www.python.org/) - The high-level programming language for general-purpose programming
