mqtt2atlonamatrix

Bridge from MQTT to Atlona HDMI matrix switches. Attempts to follow mqtt-smarthome pattern.

mqtt2atlonamatrix is a Node.js application that links Atlona HDMI matrix switches to an MQTT broker. It is designed to be used to integrate these devices into a home automation system à la mqtt-smarthome.

Getting Started

mqtt2atlonamatrix is distributed through NPM:

npm install -g mqtt2atlonamatrix

# or, if you prefer:
yarn global add mqtt2atlonamatrix

Running it is likewise easy:

mqtt2atlonamatrix                      # if your MQTT broker is running on localhost
mqtt2atlonamatrix -b mqtt://<hostname> # if your broker is running elsewhere
mqtt2atlonamatrix --help               # to see the full usage documentation

atlonamatrix/connected	0 = not connected to anything 1 = connected to MQTT but not DVR 2 = connected to both.
atlonamatrix/status/isOn	Power state of the switch as a boolean
atlonamatrix/status/hardwareInfo	JSON-encoded hardware info; format: { "type": "", "version": "" }
atlonamatrix/status/outputStatus	The current status of each output as a lis

Topics Subscribed

For performance reasons, no argument checking is done: commands are passed diectly to the switch.

Topic	Purpose
atlonamatrix/get/isOn	Force a refresh of the current power state
atlonamatrix/get/hardwareInfo	Force a refresh of the hardware info
atlonamatrix/get/outputStatus	Force a refresh of the current output status
atlonamatrix/set/isOn	Set the system to Off.
atlonamatrix/set/output/{n}/input/{m}	Set output n to display input m
atlonamatrix/set/output/{n}/off	Turn off output n
