My configuration for Home Assistant, running in Docker on a Synology DS718+ NAS.

1. Install Mosquitto in Synology Package.

2. Edit the configuration file

   sudo nano /volume1/@appstore/mosquitto/var/mosquitto.conf

   1. Disable anonymous usage

      allow_anonymous false

   2. Add a password file

      password_file /volume1/@appstore/mosquitto/var/password_file

3. Add users to Mosquitto

   cd /volume1/@appstore/mosquitto sudo nano /volume1/@appstore/mosquitto/var/password_file

   1. Add users to the file

      username:password

   2. Upgrade the password file

      sudo ./bin/mosquitto_passwd -U ./var/password_file

4. Restart Mosquitto

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/molobrakos/tellsticknet.git

2. Build the Docker image

    sudo docker build -t tellsticknet .
   

3. Create a configuration file named tellsticknet.conf:

    ---
    # Bathroom motion sensor
    name: Bathroom Motion
    component: binary_sensor
    protocol: arctech
    model: selflearning
    unit: 10
    house: 12345678
    device_class: motion
   

   • ID:s for House can be retrieved by either Telldus Live or running the discover command inside the Docker container

4. Start a Docker container

   • Enable auto-restart

   • /config/tellsticknet/tellsticknet.conf -> /app/tellsticknet.conf

   • Use the same network as Docker host

   • Add an environment variable named MQTT_URL:

     mqtt://username:password@localhost:1883
