GVM Lights

MQTT client which connects to nearby GVM 800D smart lights and homeassistant.

Setup guide

Run GVM lights server on a device capable to communicate with the devices. For example, a USB Bluetooth dongle could be attached to your server in proximity to the GVM lights.

Configuration

Configuration of server is done through environment variables

Server specific configuration:

• APP_CLIENTS (optional) - Pass a list of (comma separated) MAC addresses of the GVM Lights, e.g. APP_CLIENTS="A4:C1:38:EE:EE:EE,A4:C1:38:EE:EE:EE". If not set, will automatically search for GVM lights
• APP_HOST - IP address of the MQTT broker, default value: 0.0.0.0
• APP_PORT - Port of the MQTT broker, default value: 1883
• MQTT_NODE_ID (optional) - A string that identifies the server for homeassistant
• MQTT_USER (optional) - The username to connect with the MQTT broker
• MQTT_PASSWORD (optional) - Password required with username to connect with the MQTT broker

Running the server with cargo

$ APP_HOST="10.43.30.115" MQTT_USER="gvm" MQTT_PASSWORD="pass" MQTT_NODE_ID="office" cargo run --manifest-path=gvm_server/Cargo.toml

Running the server in Docker

For docker, privileged mode and host mode networking will be required.

$ docker pull rahela/gvm_lights:latest
$ docker run --rm --net=host --privileged rahela/gvm_lights:latest

You may have to add -v /run/dbus:/run/dbus:ro or -v /var/run:/run/dbus:ro to the docker run command if the server reports: No Bluetooth adapters found.

Building with Docker

$ docker build -t rahela/gvm_lights:latest . -f Dockerfile.server

Building with Docker cross-platform

$ docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64/v8 -t rahela/gvm_lights:latest_arm . -f Dockerfile.server.arm64 --push
