A Node.js application that bridges Mysa smart thermostats to MQTT, enabling integration with Home Assistant and other
home automation platforms.

## Features

- **MQTT Integration**: Exposes Mysa thermostats as MQTT devices compatible with Home Assistant's auto-discovery
- **Real-time Updates**: Live temperature, humidity, and power consumption monitoring
- **Full Control**: Set temperature, change modes (heat/off), and monitor thermostat status
- **Session Management**: Persistent authentication sessions to minimize API calls
- **Configurable Logging**: Support for JSON and pretty-printed log formats with adjustable levels

## Disclaimer

This tool was developed without the consent of the Mysa Smart Thermostats company, and makes use of undocumented and
unsupported APIs. Use at your own risk, and be aware that Mysa may change the APIs at any time and break this tool
permanently.

## Prerequisites

- Node.js 22+
- A Mysa account with configured thermostats
- An MQTT broker (like Mosquitto)
- Optional: Home Assistant for auto-discovery

## Installation

### Option 1: Global Installation (Recommended)

Install globally via npm to use the `mysa2mqtt` command anywhere:

```bash
npm install -g mysa2mqtt
```

### Option 2: Run with npx (No Installation Required)

Run directly without installing:

```bash
npx mysa2mqtt --help
```

### Option 3: Development Setup

For development or custom modifications:

1. Clone the repository:

   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/bourquep/mysa2mqtt.git
   cd mysa2mqtt
   ```

2. Install dependencies:

   ```bash
   npm install
   ```

3. Run the tool:

   ```bash
   npm run dev
   ```

## Quick Start

1. **Install the CLI tool**:

   ```bash
   npm install -g mysa2mqtt
   ```

2. **Run with basic configuration**:

   ```bash
   mysa2mqtt --mqtt-host your-mqtt-broker.local --mysa-username your-email@example.com --mysa-password your-password
   ```

3. **For persistent configuration**, create a `.env` file:

   ```bash
   M2M_MQTT_HOST=your-mqtt-broker.local
   M2M_MYSA_USERNAME=your-mysa-email@example.com
   M2M_MYSA_PASSWORD=your-mysa-password
   ```

   Then simply run:

   ```bash
   mysa2mqtt
   ```

4. **Check Home Assistant** (if using auto-discovery):
   - Go to Settings → Devices & Services
   - Look for automatically discovered Mysa devices
   - Configure and add to your dashboard

## Configuration

The application can be configured using either command-line arguments or environment variables. Environment variables
take precedence over command-line defaults.

| `-T, --mqtt-topic-prefix` | `M2M_MQTT_TOPIC_PREFIX` | `mysa2mqtt` | Prefix for MQTT topics                  |

#### Application Settings

| CLI Option                | Environment Variable    | Default        | Description                                                             |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------- | -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `-l, --log-level`         | `M2M_LOG_LEVEL`         | `info`         | Log level: `silent`, `fatal`, `error`, `warn`, `info`, `debug`, `trace` |

| `-s, --mysa-session-file` | `M2M_MYSA_SESSION_FILE` | `session.json` | Path to Mysa session file                                               |

## Usage Examples

### Using Environment Variables (.env file)

Create a `.env` file:

```bash
# Required
M2M_MQTT_HOST=mosquitto.local
M2M_MYSA_USERNAME=user@example.com
M2M_MYSA_PASSWORD=your-password

# Optional
M2M_MQTT_PORT=1883
M2M_MQTT_USERNAME=mqtt-user
M2M_MQTT_PASSWORD=mqtt-password
M2M_LOG_LEVEL=info
M2M_LOG_FORMAT=pretty
```

Then run:

```bash
mysa2mqtt
```

### Using Command Line Arguments

```bash
mysa2mqtt \
  --mqtt-host mosquitto.local \
  --mqtt-port 1883 \
  --mqtt-username mqtt-user \
  --mqtt-password mqtt-password \
  --mysa-username user@example.com \
  --mysa-password your-password \
  --log-level debug \
  --log-format json
```

### Mixed Configuration

You can combine both approaches. Environment variables will override command-line defaults:

```bash
# .env file
M2M_MQTT_HOST=mosquitto.local
M2M_MYSA_USERNAME=user@example.com
M2M_MYSA_PASSWORD=your-password

# Command line (will override .env if present)
mysa2mqtt --log-level debug --mqtt-port 8883
```

## Home Assistant Integration

When using Home Assistant, devices will be automatically discovered and appear in:

- **Settings → Devices & Services → MQTT**
- **Climate entities** for temperature control
- **Sensor entities** for power monitoring

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **Authentication Failures**
   - Verify your Mysa username and password
   - Check if session.json exists and is valid
   - Try deleting session.json to force re-authentication

2. **MQTT Connection Issues**
   - Verify MQTT broker hostname and port
   - Check MQTT credentials if authentication is required
   - Ensure the MQTT broker is accessible from your network

3. **No Devices Found**
   - Ensure your Mysa thermostats are properly configured in the Mysa app
   - Check logs for API errors
   - Verify your Mysa account has active devices

### Debug Mode

Enable debug logging to get more detailed information:

```bash
mysa2mqtt --log-level debug
```

Or set in environment:

```bash
M2M_LOG_LEVEL=debug
```

### Log Formats

- **Pretty format** (default): Human-readable colored output
- **JSON format**: Structured logging suitable for log aggregation

## Docker Usage

### Option 1: Pre-built Image (Recommended)

Use the official pre-built Docker image:

```bash
docker run -d --name mysa2mqtt \
  -e M2M_MQTT_HOST=your-mqtt-broker \
  -e M2M_MYSA_USERNAME=your-email \
  -e M2M_MYSA_PASSWORD=your-password \
  bourquep/mysa2mqtt:latest
```

With additional configuration:

```bash
docker run -d --name mysa2mqtt \
  -e M2M_MQTT_HOST=your-mqtt-broker \
  -e M2M_MQTT_PORT=1883 \
  -e M2M_MQTT_USERNAME=mqtt-user \
  -e M2M_MQTT_PASSWORD=mqtt-password \
  -e M2M_MYSA_USERNAME=your-email \
  -e M2M_MYSA_PASSWORD=your-password \
  -e M2M_LOG_LEVEL=info \
  -v $(pwd)/session.json:/app/session.json \
  bourquep/mysa2mqtt:latest
```

### Option 2: Build Your Own Image

If you prefer to build your own image, create a `Dockerfile`:

```dockerfile
FROM node:22-alpine

WORKDIR /app

# Install mysa2mqtt globally
RUN npm install -g mysa2mqtt

CMD ["mysa2mqtt"]
```

Build and run:

```bash
docker build -t mysa2mqtt .
docker run -d --name mysa2mqtt \
  -e M2M_MQTT_HOST=your-mqtt-broker \
  -e M2M_MYSA_USERNAME=your-email \
  -e M2M_MYSA_PASSWORD=your-password \
  mysa2mqtt
```

### Option 3: Use Official Node.js Image

Run directly with the official Node.js image:

```bash
docker run -d --name mysa2mqtt \
  -e M2M_MQTT_HOST=your-mqtt-broker \
  -e M2M_MYSA_USERNAME=your-email \
  -e M2M_MYSA_PASSWORD=your-password \
  node:22-alpine \
  sh -c "npm install -g mysa2mqtt && mysa2mqtt"
```

### Docker Compose

For easier management, create a `docker-compose.yml` file:

```yaml
services:
  mysa2mqtt:
    image: bourquep/mysa2mqtt:latest
    container_name: mysa2mqtt
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - M2M_MQTT_HOST=your-mqtt-broker
      - M2M_MYSA_USERNAME=your-email
      - M2M_MYSA_PASSWORD=your-password
      - M2M_LOG_LEVEL=info
    volumes:
      - ./session.json:/app/session.json
```

Then run:

```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
