Arduino Home Assistant integration

ArduinoHA allows to integrate an Arduino/ESP based device with Home Assistant using MQTT. The library is designed to use as little resources (RAM/flash) as possible. Initially it was optimized to work on Arduino Uno with Ethernet Shield, but I successfully use it on ESP8266/ESP8255 boards in my projects.

Features

• MQTT discovery (device is added to the Home Assistant panel automatically)
• MQTT Last Will and Testament
• Support for custom MQTT messages (publishing and subscribing)
• Auto reconnect with MQTT broker
• Reporting availability (online/offline states) of a device

Supported HA types

• Binary sensors
• Covers
• Fans
• Device triggers
• Switches
• Sensors
• Tag scanner
• HVACs (side note: HVACs requires more flash size than other HA types. It's not suitable for Arduino Nano/Uno)

Examples

• Binary Sensor
• Cover
• Fan
• LED switch
• Multi-state button
• Sensor (temperature, humidity, etc.)
• HVAC
• NodeMCU Wi-Fi
• Arduino Nano 33 IoT Wi-Fi (SAMD)
• Availability feature
• Advanced availability (MQTT LWT)
• MQTT with credentials
• MQTT advanced

Tested boards

• Arduino Uno
• Arduino Mega
• NodeMCU
• ESP-01
• Generic ESP8266/ESP8255
• Arduino Nano 33 IoT (SAMD)

Tested devices

• Controllino Maxi (standard/pure/automation/power)
• Controllino Mega (standard/pure)
• Sonoff Dual R2
• Sonoff Basic
• Sonoff Mini
• Tuya Wi-Fi switch module
• Tuya Wi-Fi curtain module

Tested Arduino Shields

• Arduino Ethernet Shield (WizNet W5100)

Roadmap

• FAQ + Home Assistant setup instructions
• Documentation of the library
• Unit tests
• Reduce flash memory usage
• Add support for HA lights

Unsupported features

The library doesn't support all features of the MQTT integration. If you need support for a new feature please open a new issue in the repository.
