That looks awesome! I tried to get the data populated in all the right places. The last thing I need to work on for the sensor data is I am planning on allowing 2-3 user defined graphs on the Graph page for the sensor values. |

Oh cool! Was thinking could also improve on the Home Assistant discovery script too, wanted to have a look at the doco for that and see if I could add the entities under a device, and change the type of some of the values too, as they don't all get graphed within Home Assistant, think they're being treated as strings rather than integers. An example is camera temperature, end up with the below color coded bar graph style, rather than a line graph
And here's the example of the line graph with moon altitude, I haven't changed anything to get it to do that either.

Very nice. FYI, the reason the moon altitude has a slight bump just below 0 degrees altitude is due to the atmospheric diffraction calculations in pyephem I did notice the weird graph styles during my testing, but I did not dig too deep on what causes that. |

@Vertikar can you show a pic of how you integrated your MLX90614?

It's currently in a very thin ziplock bag, I'm still testing it and sorting out my permanent enclosure. It seems like it should work behind a thin sheet of Acrylic or Polycarbonate, but i think behind the camera dome might be pushing it. I had a read of similar things suggesting its hermetically sealed, but i didn't notice that in the data sheet. |

Here's a photo of my current testing setup... not weather proof, but water resistant
Final plan is likely to be inside some PVC pipe, but I'm still not settled on that. Also thinking about a portable setup My thoughts are that the TSL light sensor should sit inside the camera dome, not sure if anyone else has tried this yet, but I know @aaronwmorris mentioned he was testing the TSL2591 and had it hooked up still a few days ago. |

I wonder if sealing the outer metal ring of the sensor against the body with silicone, as well as using something like a 25g or 22g needle and carefully creating a fillet of silicone seal where the sensor eye meets the metal body, would ensure that its waterproof.

The Melexis spec sheet has the bandpass of the window of the sensor at 5.5 to 14μm. According to Edmund Optics, the following glass will pass that wavelength: Looks like polymer films aren't the greatest within that wavelength. Although Edmund advertises them as being ideal for IR applications. Could be worth a shot. These look to be the best transmission, but it won't work for us: KBr is water soluble, and its surfaces should be protected from exposure to moisture. Exposure to moisture will degrade the surface of the window. These are slightly cheaper, looks like they start to have some falloff around 14μm. But they also won't work outdoors since they're hydroscopic. Here's the graph for the TSL2591, 0.4μm to 1.1μm. I have a piece of 15mm sapphire glass for it, which according to Edmund Optics, should work fine.

Interesting, thanks for digging that up, I was going to have a look and try and find some details on it. After running it in the ziplock bag for a few days it actually seemed relatively accurate. I haven't planned on how to mount it near the camera yet, but thinking under glass still or even plastic, just something easy and relatively cheap. I did find some watch sapphire glass on ebay too - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/233659151380 but at that price I'm not sure if its actual sapphire. |

Looks like in 2015, Melexis switched from germanium lens to silicon lens.

@Vertikar Is there a current page that describes the steps to link Home Assistant to indi allsky and how to configure? My thanks, |

Yep, this should cover most of it, Aaron has already put together a good wiki page on it. Anything else just ask here and I'll try and answer if I can or Aaron will chime in |

@Vertikar Thanks for guidance. I setup MQTT in #HASS (Home Assistant) and #indi-alllsky. However, I think I have a very basic misconception. In the #indi-alllsky -> #HASS solution is the broker running on #HASS? and #indi-alllsky should be broacasting to that broker? No need for a local broker on indi-allsky machine. |

@gaitskell You can use your existing broker if you already have one. You could even have multiple indi-allsky systems all using the same broker, as long as each system is using a unique base topic. |

Here's my current work in progress All Sky dashboard in Home Assistant.
Thanks @aaronwmorris for dropping all the new sensor data into MQTT so quickly! Was going to ask if we could have that, but realised you'd already done it.
I'm using the Astroweather integration to get the deep sky information, and the air sensor temperature is coming from my existing weather station.
The Sky/Cloud temperature is coming from the MLX90614 sensor, which is a non-contact infrared thermometer.
I did have a SHT41 sensor inside the enclosure to see that temperature which is currently disconnected and showing 0 degrees in the bottom right side of the image.
