AAISP to MQTT Service

A script to publish Andrews & Arnold / AAISP broadband quota and sync rates to MQTT.

It uses version 2 of AAISPs CHAOS API.

Useful for integrating and displaying AAISP line properties in home automation applications, such as Home Assistant or openHAB.

Use cases

• Displaying line properties in Home Assistant / openHAB
• Asking Amazon Alexa Echo for the remaining quota
• Flashing a light in the office when the downstream sync rate drops
• Sending line info to Crouton

Example showing lines in Home Assistant...

Configuration

Create a config file, for example in /etc/aaisp-mqtt.conf, minimal viable with no MQTT authentication:

[aaisp]
username = aa@1
password = LongAccountPassword

[mqtt]
broker = 127.0.0.1
port = 1883
topic_prefix = aaisp

You can also optionally specify MQTT username and password:

[aaisp]
username = aa@1
password = LongAccountPassword

[mqtt]
broker = 127.0.0.1
port = 1883
topic_prefix = aaisp
username = aaisp-service
password = AnotherLongPassword

Install the dependencies:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the service:

$ aaisp-to-mqtt.py /etc/aaisp-mqtt.conf

It will display debug output similar to:

INFO [2016-11-16 01:24:07,350] Disconnecting from MQTT

Schedule the script via a crontab to run every hour or 30 minutes.
