HomeAssistant Integration

MQTT based integration with Home Assistant is possible in 2 ways from the Home Assistant configuration page (Config > Generate Home Assistant cfg).

You can paste the generated yaml configuration into Home Assistant configuration manually. You can also improve this YAML, edit it however you like, because for some advanced devices the autogenerated config might be empty

Or add the devices automatically via discovery (see YT tutorial. To do click the Start Home Assistant Discovery button which sends outs MQTT discovery messages, one for each entity (switch, light).

  • The discovery topic should match the discovery_prefix defined in Home Assistant, the default value is homeassistant.
  • More details about Home Assistant discovery can be found here. Note: Currently, discovery is implemented for lights, relays, and simple sensor entities.
