Häfele Connect Mesh NodeRED Integration

This NodeRED module provides nodes to integrate Häfele Connect Mesh networks into NodeRED via a Häfele Connect Mesh Gateway and MQTT.

Setup

Setup Connect Mesh Network

Set up a connect mesh network with the Android or the iPhone App.

Setup MQTT Broker

Setup a MQTT broker on a router, smart home device or home server. Make sure that this device has a static or fixed IP address, later called <broker_ip>. Note down the brokers credentials and port (<broker_port>, probably 1883).

Connect Gateway

Add a connect Mesh Gateway to the network. Connect it via LAN to the same network the MQTT broker is in. Set the app into Set up mode: Open app -> Gear on the top right -> Set up mode -> Switch -> Back arrow top left

Tab Devices -> Gateway -> Kebab menu top right ( ⁝ ) -> Configure MQTT

MQTT-URL:

mqtt://<broker_ip>:<broker_port>

Root Topic:

Choose any root topic you like as long as it obeys the MQTT topic rules. All mesh communication will happen below this topic, later called <root_topic>. Everything else is optional, configure username and password according to your broker. Tap Save.
