MQTT integration for Ryse smart shades.

This allows to integrate Ryse SmartShade bypassing HomeKit bridge directly with MQTT. No need for the app or registration either.

Features

• No-app, no-bridge, "free without registration" onboarding and integration.
• Home Assistant auto-discovery as a cover entity grouped by device.
• Fast mode for lightning fast responsiveness (might be detrimental for battery life, since it will keep connection alive)

git clone https://github.com/ibielopolskyi/ryse_mqtt
cd ryse_mqtt

Pairing

For now pairing is manual as there is no grouping feature. Use bluetoothctl as follows:

sudo bluetoothctl

Now, we need to locate the Ryse mac address (their name by default is always RZSS):

menu scan
pattern RZSS
back
scan on

After locating the mac address, put your Ryse device into pairing mode (3 clicks on pair button) and run:

trust <YOUR MAC ADDRESS HERE>
connect <YOUR MAC ADDRESS HERE>

Please, note that no pairing is necessary at this point. Bluetoothctl will offer to pair and remember. Click yes.

Configuration

cp example.conf config.conf

In config.conf the [mqtt] section is conveniently going to be passed through to the MQTT Client In the most cases, merely set up hostname variable there

[mqtt]
hostname=MQTT host IP

In the [ryse] section create a map of your device preferred names to it's MAC address:

[ryse]
A Blind=<Mac Address>
Another Blind=<Mac Address>

In home_assistant section set discovery_topic and device_name . Discovery topic by default is homeassistant and device_name will be used in Home Assistant device identifier to group entities.

[home_assistant]
discovery_topic=homeassistant
device_name=Ryse Controller

Finally, if you don't want to wait for reconnect, define specific blinds in [fast] section. Especially useful when your shades are part of automation.

[fast]
A blind=true

Run!

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python ryse_mqtt

Or:

python ryse_mqtt <path to config file>

FAQ

• Ryse blind not connecting after restart.

A: go to bluetoothctl and run disconnect <RYSE MAC ADDRESS> or simply wait. It will expire previous session and reconnect.
