This application creates an HTTP listener to capture XML from the Rainforest Eagle, parse the XML, and publish select data to the specified MQTT host. This is available as a Docker container on Docker Hub.
Home Assistant users can now skip the manual YAML config by enabling discovery! This will create two devices under the MQTT integration. One for the bridge and one for the Eagle.
Settings are passed to the app through environment variables.
- MQTT_HOST=ip.ad.re.ss - REQUIRED - IP of your MQTT broker.
- MQTT_TOPIC=eagle - Base MQTT topic for published messages, default is
eagle. - MQTT_USER=username - MQTT username if authentication is required.
- MQTT_PASS=password - MQTT password if authentication is required.
- LISTEN_PORT=3000 - HTTP Port the bridge will listen on, default is
3000. - LOG_LEVEL=info - Specify desired log level, default is
info. - SUMMATION_WATTS=false - Set to
truefor summation values in Watt Hours (Wh), default isfalsefor Kilowatt Hours (kWh) - HA_DISCOVERY=false - Set to
trueto publish Home Assistant discovery messages.
Device status is tracked (online and offline) on topic MQTT_TOPIC/availability
Bridge status is tracked (online and offline) on topicMQTT_TOPIC/bridge/status (retained)
