DUMB2SMART Lite

The DUMB2SMART Lite is a way for some dumb equipment to gain some intelligence and inform a MQTT broker if they are ON or OFF. It was developed for use with ESP-01 in mind but can be used with other ESPs.

Version

Current version is: DUMB2SMART Lite v0.0.1 (05/06/2018)

How it works

The ESP-01 should be connected to the device you want to get the state.

If you're using Home Assistant, just add this code:

binary_sensor:
#### GET DEVICE STATE
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "dumb2smart"
    state_topic: "home/test/status"
    value_template: "{{ value }}"
    payload_on: "Online"
    payload_off: "Offline"
    device_class: connectivity
