Integrating with Home Assistant

[DjordjeMandic]

Just a suggestion, when its already on the network mdns discovery should be implemented and home asstiant integration made for it.

You could also use existing RESTful integration if you want to add PM sensors to Home Assistant.

Example:

sensor:
  - name: Klimerko PM2.5
    unique_id: klimerko_pm2_5
    platform: rest
    resource: https://api.allthingstalk.io/asset/<ASSET_ID>
    headers:
      Authorization: !secret att_maker_api_token
      Content-Type: application/json
    device_class: pm25
    unit_of_measurement: µg/m³
    icon: mdi:molecule
    json_attributes_path: "$.state"
    json_attributes:
      - at
    value_template: "{{ value_json.state.value }}"

Has it worked for anyone?

[psyhomb]

It is working for me. 🙂

[rajkoc]

Solved, it works. In the authorization line, add Bearer and then token.

[psyhomb]

Solved, it works. In the authorization line, add Bearer and then token.

In my case Bearer is part of the secret.

config/secrets.yaml

att_maker_api_token: "Bearer maker:<TOKEN>"

@rajkoc you should always tend to store secrets in secrets.yaml file.

I have also created a more comprehensive configuration that use RESTful instead of RESTful Sensor integration.
This configuration will allow you to create and collect data from all Klimerko relevant sensors (PM1, PM2.5, PM10, Temperature, Humidity and Atmospheric Pressure) all in one API call.

You only need to replace <DEVICE_ID> with real value and to update secret (API token) per this post above. ⬆️

config/configuration.yaml

rest:
  # Klimerko
  - resource: https://api.allthingstalk.io/device/<DEVICE_ID>
    method: GET
    headers:
      Authorization: !secret att_maker_api_token
      Content-Type: application/json
    scan_interval: 60
    sensor:
      # PM1 sensor
      - name: Klimerko PM1
        unique_id: klimerko_pm1
        device_class: pm1

        icon: mdi:molecule
        json_attributes_path: "$.assets[?(@.name=='pm1')].state"
        json_attributes:
          - at
        value_template: |
          {% set sensor = value_json.assets | selectattr("name", "eq", "pm1") | first | default %}

[rajkoc]

Thank you very much Miloš. Works great!

[DjordjeMandic]

This works fine when it has internet access. It's still not a solution to the problem.

IMO Klimerko should have local integration with home assistant, whole point of smart home is that it works without internet access too.

So isn't the point of sharing with the community?

@DjordjeMandic I couldn't agree more, still at this very moment this is all we got. 😞

Also Klimerko firmware is using pub/sub model (MQTT protocol), thus sensor data are published to public broker's endpoint, so one way on how you can generate local data w/o Internet access is by provisioning a local broker (e.g. Mosquitto + MQTT Sensor) and by modifying default broker endpoint to use local broker address where sensor and diagnostic data will be published.
I know, this way you are losing public endpoint and you still don't get some form of local API but this is just another proposal that you can implement in almost no time.

It is, my intention was never to move it to local only. My intention is to have it do its job like it is now and besides that publish data to HA also.

My idea was to expose sensors to HA directly via HA API or use one more MQTT connection.

If anyone is willing to contribute we can implement the following:

• MDNS local discovery (useful for HA integration)
• Local REST API for direct connections (useful for HA integration)
• One more MQTT connection server where HA is connected which impelments MQTT Discovery to expose sensors

Exposed stuff would include:

• All sensor data which is already published
• Current WiFi status (more detailed)

[psyhomb]

One addition this approach provides is you can basically add any device that is registered and shared on the AllThingsTalk platform to HomeAssistant, not only devices that you own.

You just need to pick a shared <DEVICE_ID> from selected ground and use Ground Token instead of Device Token (personal).
