miele-to-mqtt-gw

Convert the miele@home data to MQTT messages

This application will post two MQTT messages for each connected device: one short message and a full message.

Releases

Production (2.x)

The current production version is 2.x and is implemented in Java. See https://github.com/mqtt-home/miele-to-mqtt-gw/tree/2.x-java

Prerelease (3.x)

The prerelease is version 3.x and implemented in TypeScript.

Example short message

The short message is already parsed/interpreted and contains only the most relevant information.

{
  "phase": "DRYING",
  "remainingDurationMinutes": 4,
  "timeCompleted": "12:35",
  "remainingDuration": "0:04",
  "phaseId": 1799,
  "state": "RUNNING"
}

Example full message

The full message is exactly the message provided by Miele without any changes. See fullmessage-example

Example configuration

With username/password

{
  "mqtt": {
    "url": "tcp://192.168.2.2:1883",
    "client-id": "miele-mqtt-gw",
    "username": "username",
    "password": "password",
    "retain": true,

    "topic": "home/miele",
    "deduplicate": true
  },

  "miele": {
    "client-id": "aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee",
    "client-secret": "12345678901234567890123456789012",
    "polling-interval": 30,
    "username": "[email protected]",
    "password": "miele_at_home_password",
    "country-code": "de-DE",
    "mode": "sse"
  }
}

With access token

{
  "mqtt": {
    "url": "tcp://192.168.2.2:1883",
    "client-id": "miele-mqtt-gw",
    "username": "username",
    "password": "password",
    "retain": true,

    "topic": "home/miele",
    "deduplicate": true
  },

  "miele": {
    "client-id": "aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee",
    "client-secret": "12345678901234567890123456789012",
    "mode": "sse",
    "token": {
      "access": "access_token",
      "refresh": "refresh_token"
    }
  }
}

Country code

Two-letter language/country code. Examples:

• en-US
• de-DE (default)
• fr-FR
• etc.

Make sure you have write access to the configuration file, so that the token can be persisted.

Use server-sent events

Miele provides a server-sent-events API. To enable this, set the mode property in your configuration to SSE. With SSE enabled, you will get faster notifications when some device state changes. This is an experimental setting and not enabled by default.

Deduplicate messages

When deduplicate is set to true, no duplicate MQTT messages will be sent.

Bridge status

The bridge maintains two status topics:

Topic: .../bridge/state

Value	Description
online	The bridge is started
offline	The bridge is currently not started.

Topic: .../bridge/miele

Value	Description
unknown	Unknown connection status
connected	Miele API is connected
disconnected	Miele API is not connected

run

Obtain your API credentials from https://www.miele.com/developer/

copy the config-example.json to /production/config/config.json

cd ./production
docker-compose up -d

Logging

Set te timezone in the docker-compose file to your local timezone.

Example:

environment:
  TZ: "Europe/Berlin"

Set the log-level in the configuration file:

{
  "loglevel": "info"
}

Valid log levels are: fatal, error, warn, info, debug, trace

Not all levels are currently used.

build

GitHub access token

Make sure you have a GitHub access token in your ~/.m2/settings.xml

<servers>
  <server>
    <id>github</id>
    <username>your username</username>
    <password>your access token</password>
  </server>
</servers>

See https://docs.github.com/en/packages/guides/configuring-apache-maven-for-use-with-github-packages

Test cases against real Miele API

To execute test cases against the real Miele API, you need to set some environment variables.

Name	Value
MIELE_CLIENT_ID	your client id
MIELE_CLIENT_SECRET	your client secret
MIELE_USERNAME	your Miele username
MIELE_PASSWORD	your Miele password

This is necessary to verify the login method is still working, and the API has not been changed incompatible.

Build container

Build the docker container using build.sh.
