ninjacape-mqtt-bridge

Python script for grabbing JSON data over serial from the NinjaCape and publishing it as MQTT messages

You need to have an MQTT broker installed, such as http://mosquitto.org/

See the wiki for more information

MQTT messages are structured as follows:

• Messages received on 433Mhz as published to:
  /ninjaCape/input/DeviceID
  payload: DeviceData
• Messages to be sent out on 433Mhz should be pushlished to:
  /ninjaCape/output/DeviceID
  payload: DeviceData
• The script subscribes to all updates on /ninjaCape/output/#

TODO List

• Make it daemon-ised. At the moment I'm just running it in a 'screen' instance.
• Catch invalid JSON messages and throw an error, instead of just ignoring it.
• Update the MQTT message to have an additional layer for the 'gid' instead of assuming its zero.
• Make the MQTT topic configurable, some brokers (i.e. eventghost) require a leading slash to work
