[Scripts] Support for MQTT
Concerning external packages: Can I also use this package? There is already the support for HTTP, but MQTT would also be nice.
I second that. Maybe even on a more integrated approach. A switch (or any other action) could be a call to http oder mqtt instead of writing to a group address.
Access to MQTT via a client implementation sounds like a great idea. This way you can send KNX values to MQTT and vice versa.
Would you also need to run an MQTT broker in hkknx?
Opps, this is an old thread... :-)
Right now I do not use Homekit a lot. Actually I only use three actions: "Turn on/off Espresso Machine", "Activate Sun Protection in Office" and "Open/Close Garage Door".
But regarding the question: I dont think HKKNX needs a MQTT broker.. When using MQTT there is typically a MQTT instance like mosquitto running somewhere.
And if hkknx could both publish and subscribe it caould act as a gateway between Homekit and any other instance supporting MQTT.
