Provides MQTT bridge, web service API, time sync, and logging for HAI/Leviton OmniPro II controllers. Provides integration with Samsung SmartThings via web service API and Home Assistant via MQTT.
Please note that OmniLink Bridge is not in active development. The MQTT and Home Assistant integrations are in maintenance mode. The SmartThings Web API and MySQL logging are deprecated and not feature consistent with MQTT.
You can use docker to build an image from git or download the binary here. You can also install it as a Home Assistant Add-on.
- Docker
- .NET Framework 4.7.2 (or Mono equivalent)
OmniLink Bridge is divided into the following modules and configurable settings. Configuration settings can also be set as environment variables by using their name in uppercase. Refer to OmniLinkBridge.ini for specifics.
- OmniLinkII: controller_
- Maintains connection to the OmniLink controller
- Thermostats
- If no status update has been received after 4 minutes a request is issued
- A status update containing a temperature of 0 marks the thermostat offline
- This can occur when a ZigBee thermostat has lost communication
- Time Sync: time_
- Controller time is checked and compared to the local computer time disregarding time zones
- MQTT: mqtt_
- Maintains connection to the MQTT broker
- Publishes discovery topics for Home Assistant to auto configure devices
- Publishes topics for status received from the OmniLinkII module
- Subscribes to command topics and sends commands to the OmniLinkII module
- Web API: webapi_
- Provides integration with Samsung SmartThings
- Allows an application to subscribe to receive POST notifications status updates are received from the OmniLinkII module
- On failure to POST to callback URL subscription is removed
- Recommended for application to send subscribe requests every few minutes
- Requests to GET endpoints return status from the OmniLinkII module
- Requests to POST endpoints send commands to the OmniLinkII module
- Logger
- Console output: verbose_
- Enabled by default
- Thermostats (verbose_thermostat_timer)
- After 5 minutes of no status updates a warning will be logged
- When a current temperature of 0 is received a warning will be logged
- MySQL logging: mysql_
- Thermostats are logged every minute and when an event is received
- Push notifications: notify_
- Always sent for area alarms and critical system events
- Optionally enable for area status changes and console messages
- Email: mail_
- Prowl: prowl_
- Pushover: pushover_
- Console output: verbose_
Quickly get started with console logging by specifying the controller address and encryption keys.

The MySQL ODBC Connector is required for MySQL logging. The docker image comes with the MySQL ODBC connector installed. For Windows and Linux you will need to download and install it. The Home Assistant Add-on does not support MySQL logging.
Configure mysql_connection in OmniLinkBridge.ini. For Windows change DRIVER={MySQL} to name of the driver shown in the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
mysql_connection = DRIVER={MySQL};SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=OmniLinkBridge;USER=root;PASSWORD=myPassword;OPTION=3;
OmniLink Bridge collects anonymous telemetry data to help improve the software. You can opt of telemetry by setting a TELEMETRY_OPTOUT environment variable to 1.
