+# Pulsegen
+
+MQTT-basierte Pulse-Generator Applikation für Home Automation.
+
+## Funktionen
+
+- MQTT-Kommunikation über `aiomqtt`
+- Automatische Reconnect-Logik
+- Graceful shutdown (SIGTERM/SIGINT)
+- JSON message parsing
+- Konfigurierbar über Umgebungsvariablen
+
+## Umgebungsvariablen
+
+- `MQTT_BROKER`: MQTT Broker Hostname (default: `localhost`)
+- `MQTT_PORT`: MQTT Broker Port (default: `1883`)
+
+## Entwicklung
+
+Lokal starten:
+
+```bash
+cd apps/pulsegen
+python -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate  # oder venv\Scripts\activate auf Windows
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+python main.py
+```
+
+## Docker
+
+Build:
+
+```bash
+docker build -f apps/pulsegen/Dockerfile -t pulsegen .
+```
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+docker run -e MQTT_BROKER=172.16.2.16 -e MQTT_PORT=1883 pulsegen
+```
+
+## MQTT Topics
+
+### Subscribed
+
+- `pulsegen/command/#` - Kommandos für pulsegen
+- `home/+/+/state` - Device state updates
+
+### Published
+
+- `pulsegen/status` - Status-Updates der Applikation
