This is my approach to automate my home.

The system currently supports reading:

temperature/humidity (DHT, HTU21D and DSB)
pressure (BMP180)
number of planes from dump1090
state of TV (Panasonic)
communication and control of Z-Wave Window Blinds using FHEM
Receive measurements MQTT (using a local broker)
Zigbee via zigbee2mqtt

Additionally it can proxy for a MJPEG camera.

The system is consisting of a backend and a UI.

Most of the data is being exchanged between the devices and the backend via MQTT.

The UI is based on OpenUI5 http://openui5.org . The frontend gets update via Websockets from the backend.

Activities can be scheduled by an integrated scheduler.

Any comments are welcome.

This is just a hobby... ;-)

The application is also available on Docker:

You can run your application in dev mode that enables live coding using:

./mvnw quarkus:dev

The application is packageable using ./mvnw package. It produces the executable code-with-quarkus-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner.jar file in /target directory. Be aware that it’s not an über-jar as the dependencies are copied into the target/lib directory.

The application is now runnable using java -jar target/HomeAutomation-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner.jar
