The power of OpenMQTTGateway BLE is now accessible without an ESP32 and can be installed to Home Assistant in a snap.
Theengs Gateway can be installed as an Addon in Home Assistant thanks to the work of Mihai Ambrosie
Here is the process in a few step:
- Open Home Assistant and navigate to the "Add-on Store". Click on the 3 dots (top right) and select "Repositories".
- Enter https://github.com/mihsu81/addon-theengsgw in the box and click on "Add."
- You should now see "TheengsGateway HA Add-on" at the bottom list.
- Click on "TheengsGateway", then click "Install".
- Under the "Configuration" tab, change the settings appropriately (at least MQTT parameters). See Parameters.
- Start the Add-on.
No need of creating YAML configuration for the sensors, they are automatically created in the Devices and Entities section. From this, they can be easily added to your dashboards and automation.
