SleepAsAndroid Application Built On Python For Home Assistant

In this post today I am explaining another repository SleepAsAndroid, which is an application that integrates with the sensor states and events in Home assistant. The entire script built on python.

How To Install And Configuration:

Requirements:

You will need:

• configured MQTT server in configuration.yaml like

mqtt:
  broker: mqtt.myserver
  port: 1883
  username: ha_husr
  discovery: true 

• Sleep As android with MQTT support (currently beta version)
  • go to Settings -> Services -> Automatization -> MQTT
  • enable and configure MQTT
• Home Assistant v2021.7

Installation:

• go to HACS->Integrations->three dots at upper-right conner->Custom repositories
• add IATkachenko/HA-SleepAsAndroid to ADD CUSTOM REPOSITORY field and select Integration in CATEGORY
• click add button
• find Sleep As Andorid integration;
• click Install (Home assistant restart may be required);

Configuration:

Component configuration

• Name: name of the device/sensor and a prefix for the events. Will be used as a default prefix for devices and events.
• Root Topic: MQTT topic where Sleep as Android will create subtopic for the event publishing. Every subtopic will be a unique device in Home Assistant.
• QOS: quality of service for MQTT

Application configuration:

To configure Sleep As Android for working with this integration:

1. Go to application settings
2. Find Services in integration section
3. Go to Automation
4. Find MQTT section

Then:

• Enable it
• URL is a URL for your MQTT server. It should look like tpc:///mqtt_user:[email protected]_host:mqtt_port
• Topic is a topic name where the application will publish events. MUST be a subtopic in Root topic from integration settings. Topic name will be used as a suffix for the default device name in HomeAssistant.
  • For example, if your root topic is SleepAsAndroid, a valid subtopic would be SleepAsAndroid/username.
• Client ID is any ID. It is not used by integration and is not published to MQTT (now).

Usage:

<name> is an integration name in lower case without spaces from the Settings dialog. List of events is available at Sleep As Android documentation page

on device event (recommended):

1. select Device in automatization trigger and use SleepAsAndroid device;
2. select trigger from a list.

on sensor state change:

State of sensor sensor.<name> will contain the recent event name, that got published by the application.

on event:

If the application publishes a new event, then integration fires <name> event with payload:

{
  "event": "<event_name_from_application>"
}

Troubleshooting

configuration.yaml:

logger:
  default: warning
  logs:
    custom_components.sleep_as_android: debug
