Addons for IoTLink

Microsoft Teams Monitor

This Addon watches the MS Teams log file for status changes

Changes:

• Initial Release: 0.0.1

📑 Table of Contents

• Installation
• Configuration
• Home Assistant

Installation

Extract the contents of MicrosoftTeamsMonitor_0.0.0.x.zip to: %ProgramData%\IOTLink\Addons\. This should create a folder named .\MicrosoftTeamsMonitor

Configuration

Edit config.yaml and change:

     logfile: 

Point it to your Teams log file. Typically: C:\Users\YOUR-USERNAME-HERE\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\logs.txt. You can obtain the full path by running this in PowerShell as the user who's status you'd like to monitor with IoTLink:

Write-Host $env:APPDATA\Microsoft\Teams\logs.txt

Home Assistant

I tried to include code to enable MQTT Autodiscovery in Home Assistant, but I haven't tested it as I don't currently run MQTT Autodiscovery.
MQTT Topic:

PREFIX/CLIENTID/microsoft-teams-monitor/status

PREFIX = 'prefix:' from %ProgramData%\IOTLink\Configs\configuration.yaml under 'General MQTT Settings'
CLIENTID = 'clientId:' from %ProgramData%\IOTLink\Configs\configuration.yaml under 'General MQTT Settings'

NOTE: If you leave the 'clientId:' blank I believe IoTLink uses a combination of WORKGROUP/HOSTNAME

MQTT Sensor

sensor:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: My Teams Status
    state_topic: "iotlink/workgroup/hostname/microsoft-teams-monitor/status"
    value_template: "{{ value }}"
    icon: mdi:microsoft-teams
