mtand/post2mqtt repository overview

⁠post2mqtt

A easy help to convert http posts to mqtt events. This is how it works.

• The system listens to post events.
• The url in the post is used as the mqtt-topic.
• The bodu in the post is used as the mqtt-message

⁠Usages

I use this in my home assistant automation. Especially for webhooks from iftt. This saves me from giving out the home assistant api token and also I get to use mqtt

⁠Configuration variables

Environment variables:

⁠Examples

⁠From source

The server is started with TOKEN=theauthtoken yarn start then

curl -d '{"key1":"value1", "key2":"value2"}' \
 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
 -H "Authorization: theauthtoken" \
 -X POST http://localhost:8080/a/b

Whould post

{ "key1": "value1", "key2": "value2" }

to the a/b mqtt topic to the localhost mqtt

If you cant use Authorization header thefollowing does the same thing

curl -d '{"key1":"value1", "key2":"value2"}' \
 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
 -X POST http://localhost:8080/a/b?token=theauthtoken

⁠Docker

The server can be started from docker

docker run --rm -e TOKEN=theauthtoken \
           -e MQTT_URL="mqtt://192.168.0.3" \
           -p 8080:8080 mtand/post2mqtt
