Domoticz

Hello.

I am very new to the whole world of home automation / 433 radio / mqtt and still haven't figured out 100% how to work things out and I need some help / information if my desired setup is possible like I have it in mind:

• latest domoticz is running an my NAS (self made / helios 4 arm box) in a docker container with the linuxserver image
  exposed ports:
  • 8811: web
  • 1443: ?
  • 6144: ?
• a Sonoff 433 Bridge with Tasmota installed and connected to the wireless lan
• several Oregon Scientific Sensors 10-20m from the Sonoff Bridge: THGR, Wind, Rain

So my plan is that the Sonoff Bridge captures all incoming 433Mhz Signals and transfers the to Domoticz.

What I'm not really sure about:

• is this kind of setup possible at all, if so: are there any how-tos? if not: why and what are the alternatives?
• do I need a separate MQTT Broker? (isn't one included in the latest domoticz)
• do I need something like Node-Red for setting rules?

Thanks a lot in advance. g

Don't know if there a specific howto is available for this specific setup but there is a lot to find on sonoff <-> domoticz communication.
Communication can be setup with MQTT or HTTP.
And you need a separate MQTT broker. Domoticz can be set-up to listen to topic domoticz/in but has no build-in MQTT broker.
Node-Red is not an absolute requirement for this but could be helpful if you decide that a two way communication is necessary (now or in future) .
