System Monitoring and Management via MQTT This Homey app enables users to monitor their computer system’s status and send commands via MQTT for management actions such as restart or shutdown. The app communicates with an MQTT broker and uses Homey’s interface to display system information and perform management actions. For this app, you also need a client, which you can download here: Windows: https://vdbcomputers.nl/Downloads/Setup_VDB_Monitor_Wiz_new.exe Python: https://vdbcomputers.nl/Downloads/Monitoring_Universal_Python.zip Features System Monitoring: The app displays various status information of a connected system, such as CPU usage, internal and external IP, memory status, and uptime. The app receives this information in real-time via MQTT messages. Management Buttons: Through buttons in the Homey interface, users can easily send commands to restart or shut down the server. Live Status Check: The app automatically checks the connection with the system and displays the current online status, allowing users to instantly see if their system is still online. MQTT Broker Configuration To set up the MQTT connection, users must enter the following settings in Homey: MQTT Host: The IP address or URL of the MQTT broker. MQTT Port: The port on which the broker listens, usually 1883. MQTT Username and Password: Optional credentials for the broker. These settings can be entered through the Homey app settings, allowing the app to automatically connect to the MQTT broker upon startup. Capabilities Used The app displays various system capabilities in the Homey interface: CPU Cores (measure_cpu_cores): Number of CPU cores in the system. System ID (measure_id): Unique system ID to identify the device. CPU Info (measure_cpu_info): Type and name of the CPU. External IP (measure_external_ip): External IP address of the system. Hostname (measure_hostname): Hostname of the system. Logged-in Users (measure_users): Names of currently logged-in users. Internal IP (measure_internal_ip): Internal IP address of the system. Total Memory (measure_total_memory): Total available memory in MB. CPU Usage (measure_cpu): Current CPU usage as a percentage. OS Name (measure_os_name): Name and version of the operating system. Free Memory (measure_memory): Current free memory in MB. Timestamp (measure_timestamp): Last update timestamp of the message. Uptime (measure_uptime): Total active time in days, hours, and minutes. Additionally, the app has two buttons: Restart Server (action_reboot): Sends an MQTT command to restart the system. Shutdown Server (action_shutdown): Sends an MQTT command to shut down the system.
