# AAISP to MQTT Service #
A script to publish [Andrews & Arnold / AAISP](http://aa.net.uk) broadband quota and sync rates to [MQTT](http://mqtt.org/).
It uses version 2 of AAISPs [CHAOS](https://support.aa.net.uk/CHAOS) API.
Useful for integrating and displaying AAISP line properties in home automation applications, such as [Home Assistant](https://home-assistant.io/) or [openHAB](http://www.openhab.org/).
![Workflow](https://raw.github.com/natm/aaisp-to-mqtt/master/docs/workflow.png)
## Use cases ##
* Displaying line properties in Home Assistant / openHAB
* Asking Amazon Alexa Echo for the remaining quota
* Flashing a light in the office when the downstream sync rate drops
* Sending line info to [Crouton](https://github.com/edfungus/Crouton)
## Configuration ##
Create a config file, for example in /etc/aaisp-mqtt.conf, minimal viable with no MQTT authentication:
```
[aaisp]
username = aa@1
password = LongAccountPassword
[mqtt]
broker = 127.0.0.1
port = 1883
topic_prefix = aaisp
```
You can also optionally specify MQTT username and password:
```
[aaisp]
username = aa@1
password = LongAccountPassword
[mqtt]
broker = 127.0.0.1
port = 1883
username = aaisp-service
password = AnotherLongPassword
topic_prefix = aaisp
```
Run the service:
```
$ aaisp-to-mqtt.py /etc/aaisp-mqtt.conf
```
