Hardware: Raspberry Pi 5
Issue of the topic: pigpio does not support RPi5

Hi all, I just upgraded my hardware from a RPI4 to a RPi5 and realized that pigpio does not work on the latter, see also Github.

To be able to access the GPIOs with my Openhab installation, i created a docker container running mqtt-io incombination with gpiozero as a workaround. With the container running you can access the RPi5 GPIOs via MQTT.

I uploaded the corresponding code and some brief instructions to github.

Please feel free to use the workaround, in case you come accross the same issue.

Thanks for the post! This is one of those rare cases where I needed to move a post into the Tutorials and Solutions category. It is more clear that you’ve posted a workaround (or for some perhaps a permanent approach to control GPIO on machines other than the same one where OH is running.
