Inner Range Inception to MQTT

A docker container to interface Inner Range Inception with MQTT to be used with home automation like Home Assistant

Setup Steps

  1. Create a MQTT server
  2. Setup config file configuration.yml in /config directory (example below)
  3. Setup docker compose file (example below)
  4. Enable Home Assistant MQTT discovery if integrating with Home Assistant (optional): https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/mqtt/discovery/
  5. Run the app by running docker-compose up --build

Example Docker Compose File

version: '3'
services:
  inception-mqtt:
    container_name: inception-mqtt
    image: matthewlarner/inception-mqtt:latest
    volumes:
      - ./config:/usr/src/app/config
    environment:
      - TZ=Australia/Sydney
    restart: always

Example Config

Refer to https://github.com/matthew-larner/inception-mqtt/blob/main/configuration.yml.example

How it works

This docker container communicates with the Inception REST API. It will automatically create the following items in Home Assistant if you have MQTT discovery enabled.

You may also find references to the API on your local Inception controller. "http://local_Inception_IP_address/ApiDoc"

You need to have one of the following Home Assistant classes in the input description in Inception in order for the input to be displayed in Home Assistant; motion, garage, door, rex, opening, power, smoke, vibration, window, cold, heat, light or moisture.
