Script for OBS Studio to publish session stats to MQTT broker with autodiscovery set up for Home Assistant

README.md

OBS MQTT Status to Home Assistant

Setup:

1. Download script
2. Install mqtt-wrapper pip install mqtt-wrapper
3. Open OBS Studio
4. In OBS Studio add a script (Tools -> Scripts)
5. Configure script parameters (my base channel is homeassistant and my sensor name is obs, creating the path homeassistant/sensor/obs)

6. Click the script refresh button

7. If mqtt autodiscovery is on in home assistant, you should see a sensor called sensor.[MQTT Sensor Name] with attributes containing the stats.

   If you have allowed the MQTT to control OBS, you will see two switches called switch.[MQTT Sensor Name]_record and switch.[MQTT Sensor Name]_stream

   You will also see a switch for each profile named switch.[MQTT Sensor Name]_[OBS Profile Name]_Profile (NOTE: Profiles in OBS will have to contain no spaces)

   If mqtt autodiscovery is not turned on, you will need to add this as your sensor config

   - platform: "mqtt"
     name: "OBS"
     state_topic: "[Your set topic here]/state"
     icon: "mdi:video-wireless"
     force_update: true
     qos: 1
     json_attributes_topic: "[Your set topic here]/attributes"
   

   and if you would like to control via MQTT without autodiscovery you will need to add two mqtt switches for recording and streaming

   - platform: "mqtt"
     name: OBS Record Switch
     state_topic: "[MQTT Base Channel]/switch/[MQTT Sensor Name]/record/state"
     command_topic: "[MQTT Base Channel]/switch/[MQTT Sensor Name]/record/set"
     available_topic: "[MQTT Base Channel]/switch/[MQTT Sensor Name]/record/available"
     payload_on: "ON"
     payload_off: "OFF"
     icon: mdi:record
   - platform: "mqtt"
     name: OBS Stream Switch
     state_topic: "[MQTT Base Channel]/switch/[MQTT Sensor Name]/stream/state"
     command_topic: "[MQTT Base Channel]/switch/[MQTT Sensor Name]/stream/set"
     available_topic: "[MQTT Base Channel]/switch/[MQTT Sensor Name]/stream/available"
     payload_on: "ON"
     payload_off: "OFF"
     icon: mdi:broadcast
   

   If you would like to control profiles without discovery turned on you will need to add switches FOR EACH profile you wish to turn on from Home Assistant

   - platform: "mqtt"
     name: OBS Test Profile
     state_topic: "[MQTT Base Channel]/switch/[OBS Profile Name]/state"
     command_topic: "[MQTT Base Channel]/switch/[OBS Profile Name]/profile/set"
     payload_on: "ON"
     payload_off: "OFF"
     icon: mdi:alpha-p-box
   

Sensor States

• Recording
• Streaming
• VirtualCam
• Recording and Streaming
• Recording and VirtualCam
• Streaming and VirtualCam
• Recording, Streaming, and VirtualCam
• Stopped (OBS Open)
• Off (OBS Closed)

NOTES

If you make changes to the script

If you have autodiscovery on when you update the script, make sure to remove the Stream, Record and OBS Sensor configs by doing an empty publish to their respective configs

[Your base channel]/sensor/[Sensor Name]/config for sensor

[Your base channel]/switch/[Sensor Name]_stream/config for stream switch

[Your base channel]/sensor/[Sensor Name]_record/config for record switch

[Your base channel]/sensor/[Sensor Name]_virtualcam/config for virtualcam switch

Python/Windows OBS

f you are trying to get OBS scripting to work with Python for Windows in OBS 27.0.1 era, you need to install Python 3.6 (x64) and then set the location in Tools | Scripts | PythonSettings. Python 3.6.8 was the last official build of 3.6 that I saw for Windows.

@Mattie I've been using this script for a looong time now and it works great... till the most recent Home Assistant 2023.8.0 release!

The new Home Assistant MQTT rules specify that one should NOT prefix the Entity Name with the Device Name!

As such, the lines above like this one:

        self.config = {
                "name": f"{self.mqtt_sensor_name} VirtualCam",

should now be:

        self.config = {
                "name": "VirtualCam",

I've tested this change on my own instance and seems to work fine (and the Home Assistant warning goes away after restarting)

Any plans to add or ideas how to activate / deactivate a source within a scene with a Home Assistant automation?

Thanks @pedrolamas for the fix, I update my gist

@LagaV Not yet. I don't if it will help you but here's some workarounds:
To disable the camera I've duplicated the scene
To disable/enable the mic, I'm using HASS.Agent and hotkey =)
