systemctl-mqtt






MQTT client triggering & reporting shutdown on systemd-based systems
Setup
$ pip3 install --user --upgrade systemctl-mqtt
$ systemctl-mqtt --mqtt-host HOSTNAME_OR_IP_ADDRESS

On debian-based systems, dependencies can optionally be installed via:
$ sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends python3-dbus python3-gi python3-paho-mqtt

Schedule poweroff by sending a MQTT message to topic systemctl/hostname/poweroff.
$ mosquitto_pub -h MQTT_BROKER -t systemctl/hostname/poweroff -n

Lock screen by sending a MQTT message to topic systemctl/hostname/lock-all-sessions.
$ mosquitto_pub -h MQTT_BROKER -t systemctl/hostname/lock-all-sessions -n

Shutdown Report
systemctl-mqtt subscribes to logind's PrepareForShutdown signal.
systemctl halt|poweroff|reboot triggers a message with payload true on topic systemctl/hostname/preparing-for-shutdown.
Home Assistant 🏡

Automatic Discovery of Shutdown Sensor (Optional)
After enabling MQTT device discovery
home assistant will automatically detect a new entity
binary_sensor.hostname_preparing_for_shutdown.
mqtt:
broker: BROKER_HOSTNAME_OR_IP_ADDRESS
discovery: true # default in home assistant >=v0.117.0
# credentials, additional options…
