Simple IPMI to MQTT docker container to push trival data from IPMI to MQTT.
My usecase was to get a power reading from a Dell R510 (which did not publish realtime power usage via SNMP) to Home Assistant Can be used for basically anything tbh
Getting data into HA via sensors.yaml
- platform: mqtt
state_topic: "idracpower"
name: "idracpower Power"
unit_of_measurement: "W"
Lets pull that into statistics (still in sensors.yaml)
- platform: statistics
name: "idracpower power per minute"
entity_id: sensor.idracpower_power
sampling_size: 60
And also convert it into kWH (still in sensors.yaml)
- platform: template
sensors:
idracpower_realtime_power:
friendly_name: "idracpower Realtime Power"
value_template: "{{state_attr('sensor.idracpower_power_per_minute', 'total') / (1000 * 60) }}"
unit_of_measurement: 'kwH'
And get a monthly utility meter of it from configuration.yaml
utility_meter:
idracpower_manedlig:
source: sensor.idracpower_realtime_power
cycle: monthly
