Homeassistant Add-On

[h45h74x]

Hi everyone,

I’ve packaged MeshMonitor as a Home Assistant Add-on to better integrate it with my home automation setup. While I initially struggled with the Ingress feature (setting BASE_URL sadly didn't do the trick), I successfully resolved the UI issues using an internal NGINX reverse proxy.

Although this solution is a bit cumbersome, it seems fully functional and ready for me to demo to my colleagues tomorrow. You can find the configuration here: https://git.sgruber.at/ha/addons

Edit: Unmaintained prototype for now, but the Add-On is simple enough so that it should keep working or at least serve as nice foundation to get started with :)

How do I set this up?

Hi, you can add the link above (https://git.sgruber.at/ha/addons) as an Add-On repository to you Homeassistant instance. Afterwards, install the "MeshMonitor" Add-On and use it via Web UI :)

Also does this support meshcore

I'm unable to tell you this for certain, as I'm no longer using MeshMonitor for managing my node. Nevertheless, I see no reason why it shouldn't work, as the Dockerfile inside the Add-On always refers to the "latest" build of MeshMonitor.

If you need to change/update/fix some things, feel free to check out my protoype and tune it to your desire :)

It seems to be not loading the addon for some reason unless I'm using the local address and says this about maps.. it also says "Cannot connect to the Meshtastic node. Please ensure the node is reachable and has HTTP API enabled." Is this something that works with meshcore? Do I need to change meshcore settings? It also said no nodes have gps positions. But a bunch do. It says this in logs. Is it not compatible with a heltec v3 meshcore USB companion running the stock firmware plugged directly into the home assistant instance or do I need to change settings on the node? I can try to write a how to for this if you want me to after I figure it out. But I don't really know what in doing here... Sorry, I'm trying to manage the meshcore network between Carmel ny and mahopac ny and Yorktown heights in Putnam county ny. Meshtastic just doesn't work with the hills in any readable distance. I set up like 50+ nodes and I've only switched half of them to the settings 919.5mhz sf10 500khz coding rate of 5 to stay legally compliant and stuff. I never know when one of the poor quality 126090 cells will fail until messages simply are not going through. Integrating this with the home assistant completely so I can set notifications if something isn't responding would be fantastic. (i sent an email with pictures but it wouldnt send sorry.)

I connected to the Add-On via a local address, too, so I have never tested non-local connectivity.

Regarding the other features, I sadly cannot share any experiences, as I stopped using MeshMonitor for a long time in favor of the official MeshCore integration for HA.

Anyhow, regarding troubleshooting, I suggest setting up MeshMonitor first using one of the officially recommend installation options, seeing (if and how) it works, and then return to setting up a Homeassistant Add-On based on that. You can use my original version as a basis (it's just a few files) or start from scratch, hopefully finding a configuration which suits your setup in a better way.

I actually built a Home Assistant bridge for MeshMonitor a while back as well. Thought I'd share it here in case anyone finds it useful.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing :)
