To collect Seneye USB device ('SUD') readings and broadcast them via MQTT. C++ prototype under development.

The aim is to have an implementation which integrates nicely with Home Assistant.

HIDAPI is a multi-platform library which allows an application to interface with USB HID-Class devices.

HIDAPI has several back-ends. Seneye-HASS has been tested with libusb.

sudo apt-get install libhidapi-libusb0 libhidapi-dev

The Mosquitto project is primarily a message broker that implements the MQTT protocol. It also provides a C/C++ libraries for implementing MQTT clients, which is used by Seneye-HASS.

sudo apt-get install libmosquittopp1 libmosquittopp-dev

The resources folder contains:

• An example of a systemd service.
• An example of a Home Assistant configuration, declaring entities for the readings sent over MQTT.
• An example of a Home Assistant dashboard using these entities.

• Implement Home Assistant MQTT discovery.
• Deal with several Seneye devices.
• Make the logging flexible.
