This is a simple proxy to pass ruuvi tag data forward to mqtt. It is tested on raspberry pi 3b and raspberry pi zero w, but should work on any linux machine with hcitool.
Assuming a standard raspbian image is in use, the following things need to be installed.
sudo apt-get install git python3-pip bluez bluez-hcidump
As we don't want to run python as root, let's loose up the requirements for hcitool.
sudo setcap 'cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip' `which hcidump`
sudo setcap 'cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip' `which hcitool`
- Clone (or download) the repo.
- Install the python libs
make install.
To test interactively, just run SERVER=<mqtt-server-ip> make run.
To run as a service and allow autostart on reboot, first we need to install supervisor:
sudo apt-get install supervisor
Then copy the file supervisord.sample into /etc/supervisor/conf.d/ruuvi2mqtt.conf
Edit the conf file and add the path to your ruuvi2mqtt folder as well as populate the ip if SERVER=<mqtt-server-ip>.
Finally we need to restart supervisord using sudo service supervisor restart. You can confirm after that ruuvi2mqtt started by looking at sudo service supervisor status.
