zackwag/starling2mqtt repository overview

⁠starling2mqtt

A Starling Home Hub → MQTT bridge for Home Assistant. It polls Nest cameras, doorbells, thermostats, locks and more through the hub's local Developer Connect API and creates them in Home Assistant through MQTT Discovery. That includes switches for camera on/off and quiet time, and still snapshots as camera entities.

Images are multi-arch: linux/amd64 and linux/arm64.

⁠Quick start

1. Enable Developer Connect in the Starling app and create an API key. Give it read, plus write to control devices and camera for snapshots.
2. Create config.yaml from config.yaml.example⁠. Fill in starling.host, starling.api_key and the mqtt block.

⁠docker run

docker run -d --name starling2mqtt --restart unless-stopped --init \
  -v "$PWD/config.yaml:/data/config.yaml:ro" \
  -v starling2mqtt-data:/data \
