If you haven\u2019t, please look at my previous posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you need to have installed some packages first, so open the terminal of your Gateway and install these packages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>opkg update &amp;&amp; opkg install node git-http mpg123 mpc mpd-full<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you need to install Lumi:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>mkdir \/opt\ncd \/opt\ngit clone https:\/\/github.com\/Beetle-II\/lumi.git\ncd lumi\ncp config_example.json config.json<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we\u2019ll use \u201cvi\u201d to edit the config.json file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>{\n  \"sensor_debounce_period\": 300,\n  \"sensor_treshhold\": 50,\n  \"button_click_duration\": 300,\n          \n  \"homeassistant\": true,\n  \"tts_cache\": true,\n  \"sound_channel\": \"Master\",\n  \"sound_volume\": 50,\n  \"mqtt_url\": \"mqtt:\/\/&#91;HA IP ADDRESS HERE]\",\n  \"mqtt_topic\": \"lumi\", #Use the name of your gateway\n  \"use_mac_in_mqtt_topic\": true, \n  \"mqtt_options\": {\n    \"port\": 1883,\n    \"username\": \"login here\",\n    \"password\": \"password here\",\n    \"keepalive\": 60,\n    \"reconnectPeriod\": 1000,\n    \"clean\": true,\n    \"encoding\": \"utf8\",\n    \"will\": {\n      \"topic\": \"lumi\/state\",\n      \"payload\": \"offline\",\n      \"qos\": 1,\n      \"retain\": true\n    }\n  }\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>I highly advise you to use the \u201ctrue\u201d value on the &#8220;use_mac_in_mqtt_topic&#8221;, if by any chance you have more than one gateway, this will help you differentiate all of them on your Home Assistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, make sure to change all \u201clumi\u201d values with the desired name of your Gateway, it will help you differentiate the devices on your home assistance in case you have more than one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After configuring the config.json file, we will need to start our service, so we launch on the terminal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>node \/opt\/lumi\/lumi.js<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>That might result in an error, so after getting feedback from your gateway, use control+c or control+z to exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, we type on the terminal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>cd \/opt\/lumi\nchmod +x lumi\ncp lumi \/etc\/init.d\/lumi\n\/etc\/init.d\/lumi enable\n\/etc\/init.d\/lumi start<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Then type again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>node \/opt\/lumi\/lumi.js<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If you see something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"336\" height=\"70\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lfps64.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/imagen.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lfps64.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/imagen.png 336w, https:\/\/blog.lfps64.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/imagen-300x63.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 336px) 85vw, 336px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It means you have set it up correctly and it&#8217;s now done, you should be able to see your device on your Home Assistant Integrations section, here is how mine looks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"271\" height=\"187\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lfps64.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/imagen-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"589\" height=\"151\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lfps64.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/imagen-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lfps64.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/imagen-2.png 589w, https:\/\/blog.lfps64.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/imagen-2-300x77.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 589px) 85vw, 589px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In my case, I have two gateways configured, if you have only one you should see half as much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it!
