Installation?
I have made many attempts to install the dali2mqtt. I want to install it on a Raspberry Pi 4B with Linux Debian 12 (Bookworm) as the operating system. I am working directly on my Raspberry Pi. (screen, keyboard) under the username "homeassistant". The Hasseb USB DALI Master in a USB port. I do the installation in the folder home/homeassistant/. When I run the instruction "venv/bin/python3 -m dali2mqtt.dali2mqtt", I get as a result the configuration of my DALI devices. I complete the rest of the installation. The problem is that when I control or turn on or off my lights, I do not receive any messages in homeassistant. Can you possibly list step by step how I should do the installation? Or can you explain the problem?
What about on the MQTT broker ? Do you see the messages being published there ?
Thanks for the quick response. Before that I installed mosquitto-clients. ( sudo apt-get install mosquitto-clients) This shows online and when I send a message (topic: "dali2mqtt" payload: 75") in Node Red it arrives at the terminal. In Node Red I also get a reply back .
Terminal:
homeassistant@debianha:~/dali2mqtt$ mosquitto_sub -L mqtt://mqttuser:******@192.168.0.8:1883/dali2mqtt/#
online
75
Node Red:

So far it does work??
OK and you have MQTT integration in HA configured properly ?
BTW:
$ mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.0.8 -u mqttuser -P ****** -t dali2mqtt/# -v
and
$ mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.0.8 -u mqttuser -P ****** -t homeassistant/light/# -v
return what ?
As far as I can judge, yes. I use Mosquitto broker in Home Assistant to use https://github.com/Chibald/maestrogateway. This one works, but.
homeassistant@debianha:/$ mosquitto_sub -v -t "#" -u mqttuser -P ****** homeassistant/status offline dali2mqtt/status online
$ homeassistant@debianha:/$ mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.0.8 -u mqttuser -P ******* -t dali2mqtt/# -v dali2mqtt/status online
$ homeassistant@debianha:/$ mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.0.8 -u mqttuser -P ******* -t homeassistant/light/# -v Connection error: Connection Refused: not authorized.
How can I resolve this?
pretty sure you should not have "not authorised"...
but homeassistant looks like it's not connected to MQTT Broker :/ ?
homeassistant@debianha:~$ sudo systemctl enable homeassistant.service Failed to enable unit: Unit file homeassistant.service does not exist.
I don't understand what's wrong. Can you explain to me how to fix this?

that's probably your HA Add-on configuration... besides that you need to actually configure HA to use it (follow the documentation)
This is getting out of topic :) you better resort to community.home-assistant.io

I found and solved the problem of this. root@debianha:/home/homeassistant/dali2mqtt# mosquitto_sub -v -t "#" -u mqttuser -P Koen homeassistant/status online dali2mqtt/status online
I started from scratch with a clean Linux operating system. Attached you will find the full course of dali2mqtt installation. mss you can find a problem in this?
I still have the problem that when I turn off or dim a lamp I receive no message in my mqtt client. Messages sent with Node Red do pass.
Do you have any sugessties? dali2mqtt.txt
can you execute dali2mqtt with debug messages ?

Okay, I have discovered something. My lights at address 0 and 1 appeared as entity. :-) I can switch these on and off and control them here. It also shows a group with address 0. I cannot control this one. I created this groups with a Tridonic DALI USB device. I will first experiment with this. What I find strange is that I can control the lights with my Tridonic but I see no reaction in Home Assistant. Am I doing something wrong here.
dali2mqtt is crashing... so nothing can happen
Again... no debug messages...
BTW... you could replicate DALI groups in HA
(Deleting the DALI Group would probably fix the issue at hand)
