Tasmota Prometheus Exporter

A Prometheus exporter for Tasmota-enabled devices.
It subscribes to the topics tele/+/+ and stat/++ to which Tasmota devices send their updates.

Grafana dashboard is available here on the GitHub repository.

Prerequisites

• Go

Installation

Build from the source code

You can pull the latest version of the source code and build it using the command line:

go mod download
go build -o tasmota-exporter ./cmd
chmod +x tasmota-exporter

Before running the application, you have to define the following environment variables:

MQTT_HOSTNAME //default is localhost
MQTT_PORT //default is 1883
MQTT_USERNAME //default is empty
MQTT_PASSWORD //default is empty
MQTT_CLIENT_ID //default is prometheus_tasmota_exporter
MQTT_TOPICS //default is "tele/+/+, stat/+/+". If you're using deeper topics, you can set as "tele/#, stat/#"
PROMETHEUS_EXPORTER_PORT //listening port. Default is 9092
REMOVE_WHEN_INACTIVE_MINUTES //optional. Default is 1. If the device is inactive for more than 1 minute, it will be removed from the list of active devices
STATUS_UPDATE_SECONDS //optional. Default is 5. This is how often a status update will be requested

You could also put the variables in a .env file and do the following:

source .env
export $(cut -d= -f1 .env)

Then run it using:

./tasmota-exporter

Using Docker

The exporter is also available as a Docker image. You can run it using the following example and pass configuration environment variables:

docker run \
  -e 'MQTT_HOSTNAME=192.168.1.10' \
  -e 'MQTT_PORT=1883' \
  -e 'MQTT_USERNAME=user' \
  -e 'MQTT_PASSWORD=password' \
  -e 'PROMETHEUS_EXPORTER_PORT=9092' \
  -p 9092:9092 \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  --name tasmota-exporter \
  eugenezadyra/tasmota-exporter:latest

Using docker-compose

You can run it using docker-compose and the template:

version: '3.4'
services:
  tasmota-exporter:
    image: eugenezadyra/tasmota-exporter:latest
    environment:
      MQTT_HOSTNAME: 192.168.1.10
      MQTT_PORT: 1883
      MQTT_USERNAME: user
      MQTT_PASSWORD: password
      PROMETHEUS_EXPORTER_PORT: 9092
    ports:
      - '9092:9092'
    restart: unless-stopped

#run in the background
docker-compose up -d
#update to the latest version and restart
docker-compose pull
docker-compose restart

Once the exporter is running, you also have to update your prometheus.yml configuration to let it scrape the exporter:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name:       'tasmota'
    scrape_interval: 5s
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['metrics.home:9092']

! Note: Available metrics may vary by device.
