• Home Assistant & OpenHAB compatible

pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 faac_gateway_standalone.py

Open http://localhost:5000 in your browser.

pip install -r requirements.txt
cp config/config.yaml.example config/config.yaml
# Edit config.yaml with your MQTT broker settings
python3 faac_gateway_mqtt.py -c config/config.yaml

Subscribe to status updates:

• faac/gate/status - Complete status (JSON)
• faac/gate/state - Gate state (OPEN/CLOSED/MOVING/STOPPED)
• faac/gate/wing1 - Wing 1 position (0-100%)
• faac/gate/wing2 - Wing 2 position (0-100%)
• faac/gate/availability - Connection status (online/offline)

Simple HTTP endpoints for gate control:

# Get status
curl http://localhost:5000/api/status

# Send command
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/command \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"command": "open"}'

# Health check
curl http://localhost:5000/api/health
