homebridge-mqtt-temperature-log-tasmota

Plugin to HomeBridge optimized for work with Itead Sonoff and Electrodragon Relay Board hardware and firmware Sonoff-Tasmota via MQTT with log temperature (periodical and 24 h min. and max.) to file. It acts as a themperature monitor for DS18B20, DHT22, DHT11, AM2301, AM2302 sensors. Also works with other accessories sending the temperature as a number (payload ex. 21.1).

Like this? Please buy me a beer (or coffee) ;-)
