[57north-discuss] Home Assistant is back!

Howdy y'all! As of last night we have a working home-assistant instance and MQTT broker again. Hooray! Documentation will eventually be updated at https://wiki.57north.org.uk/projects/home_assistant once there's more to do with it. At the moment MQTT is unauthenticated, please don't abuse it, but you can use it for non home-assistanty things too. Currently the only thing on the network is the discolight, and I'd quite like some more stuff to control. MPD integration was quite helpful, especially pausing playback when you pressed close space. I want to get the neon strips over in the sofa area on the system so they can easily be activated/deactivated so I'm going to pick up some sonoff switches. Do we want to go as far as putting workbench power on the system so they can be powered down by hitting 'close space'? Temperature sensors might be quite nice too - has anyone got a suggestion of ones that will be compatible? Anything else anyone can think of? Hx -- Hibby MM0RFN
