teletask_bridge

A teletask to home-assistant bridge

Copied from Jan Bogaerts https://github.com/jan-bogaerts/teletask_bridge, wrapped in a HAOS application so it can be installed and updated with the help from copilot to accommodate RGBW led strips with 4 dimmers, feedback for switches and the use of additional sensors.

This application allows you to take full control of your teletask setup through the home-assistant gateway. It registers your teletask unit as an mqtt device and adds all the sensors/actuators that you have defined in the config.

installation as HAOS add-on

goto settings/apps
click on install app
click on tree dots at the top and select repositories
paste the URL "https://github.com/bert-MI4U/teletask_bridge_HAaddon" and press add.

select the Teletask Bridge from the App Store and install

configure the config.json file (see below)
use Studio Code Server (or other)
Add the addon_configs folder to your workspace Run the app once, to create the slug subfolder Create a config.json file in a teletask subfolder in this slug subfolder copy the config.json contents below to this file (as example).

configuration

Auto discovery is used on the home-automation side to load all the assets. Teletask however doesn't support auto-discovery, so you will have to define the list yourself. All config data is stored in the file config.json, located in the application folder. It requires the following sections:

• home_assistant: broker details
  • discovery_prefix: topic prefix used for auto-discovery. Usually homeassistant
  • client_id: identify this client with the broker, should be unique for each device
  • broker_host: name/ip address of the broker
  • device_id: identifier for this device in home-assistant
• teletask: all the details to connect to the teletask device
  • ip: the ip address of the teletask unit
  • port: the port number to connect to.
• assets: all the sensors and actuators that you would like to have registered in home-assistant.
  • name: label used in home-assistant
  • component: the mqtt component used to register the asset in home assistant. See mqtt configuration for more info. tested with
    • light
    • switch
    • binary_sensor
    • sensor (temperature, power, precipitation,wind_speed,illuminance)
  • teletask_type: the type of the component on the teletask side. Supported types are:
    • relay
    • dimmer
    • motor
    • locmood
    • genmood
    • flag
    • sensor
    • cond
    • rgbw (a dummy creating a RGBW from 4 different dimmers to present as RGBW to HA)
  • teletask_id: the id number to identify the item in teletask. This can be found with the prosoft application of teletask.
