Using a menubar indicator, and a MQTT message for Futurehome to turn on/off a light bulb
usage: OnAir.py [-h] [--host HOST] [--port PORT] [--topic TOPIC] [--user USER] [--password PASSWORD] [--debug]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--host HOST (default: futurehome-smarthub.local)
--port PORT (default: 1884)
--topic TOPIC (default: pt:j1/mt:cmd/rt:dev/rn:zw/ad:1/sv:out_bin_switch/ad:19_0)
--user USER
--password PASSWORD
--debug (default: False)
~/.onair.ini is used for MQTT configuration. It will be created automatically on the first run. Here's an example:
[DEFAULT]
user=myuser
password=mypass
host=futurehome-smarthub.local
port=1884
topic=pt:j1/mt:cmd/rt:dev/rn:zw/ad:1/sv:out_bin_switch/ad:19_0
debug=False
See https://support.futurehome.no/hc/en-no/articles/360033256491-Local-API-access-over-MQTT-Beta- for MQTT user/password setup.

Go to http://futurehome-smarthub.local:8081/fimp/timeline and set the Service filter to out_bin_switch.
Turn off/on your desired light to discover the topic for it, e.g. pt:j1/mt:cmd/rt:dev/rn:zw/ad:1/sv:out_bin_switch/ad:19_0,
and the actual message, e.g.
{
"serv": "out_bin_switch",
"type": "cmd.binary.set",
"val_t": "bool",
"val": true,
"props": null,
"tags": null
}
Use a MQTT client such as mqtt-cli or MQTT Explorer
to send a message to turn the light on or off (val set to true or false).
Note that the MQTT version 5 doesn't work, it needs to be v3.
Here's an example from mqtt-cli:
$ mqtt pub -v -V 3 -h futurehome-smarthub.local -p 1884 \
-u my_username -pw my_password \
-t pt:j1/mt:cmd/rt:dev/rn:zw/ad:1/sv:out_bin_switch/ad:19_0 \
-m '{
"serv": "out_bin_switch",
"type": "cmd.binary.set",
"val_t": "bool",
"val": true,
"props": null,
"tags": null
}'
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
./setup.py py2app
This creates OnAir.app in dist/
