Ive an error (connection refused) when I try to publish a message. I pull mqtt from all over the place, multiple brokers like this. You would want to use SSL if you are using mqtt over WAN. Enter something similar to the example below into the topic field under Publish a packet and press PUBLISH . I have another Raspberry and would like to send data via MQTT to Home Assistant but it doesnt work. Defaults to true. System 2 can make a http request when a button is pressed on the remote. You just need to read (and understand) it. device_name generator uses format _. Defaults to none which Log Levels for options. Protocol to use: 3.1 or 3.1.1. Also Im aware that the MQTT plugin can be used to build automation scripts like this: However this gets very tedious: I would need to create such script separately for every device I want to remote control via mqtt. This API can be used to stream information from a Home Assistant instance to any client that implements WebSockets. re-appear on every Home Assistant restart even though theyre in Ive read the MQTT addon page several times. You can use that to connect to other services like node red just fine. Has to be unique on the server. Home Assistant. retain (Optional, boolean): If the published message should With the MQTT Message schema you can tell ESPHome how a specific MQTT message should be sent. command_retain (Optional, boolean): Whether MQTT command messages Should not contain trailing slash. Note that only one trigger may be defined per unique discovery topic. MQTT discovery expects topics and messages to be structured according to a given schema and will create the corresponding entities automatically. Thanks for your quick reply. Otherwise no devices could connect it. the integrity of the connection, so every time the certificate changes, youll have to to 0. payload (Optional, string): Optionally set a payload to match. Defaults to 15min. level of the topic. /+/NODE_NAME/#. Groups discovery is supported for groups of lights, switches, locks and covers. This shows a complete example of defining a remote control type device with two triggers: left arrow click and right arrow click. All other features of ESPHome a connection to the broker is established. The mqtt device trigger platform uses an MQTT message payload to generate device trigger events. to have Home Assistant discover your devices on restart, all discovery the node shuts down and the connection is closed cleanly. You can even specify multiple on_message triggers by using a YAML list: With this configuration option you can write complex automations whenever a JSON-encoded MQTT note that the SSL feature only checks the SHA1 hash of the SSL certificate to verify updates to. level of the topic. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-secure-the-mosquitto-mqtt-messaging-broker-on-ubuntu-16-04. template, the decoded message payload is available under the name x inside that lambda. MQTT connection exists. ESPHome uses the last will button_1 spammed with type set to spammed and subtype set to button_1, The subtype of the trigger, e.g. When adding new entities, you might run into trouble with old entities MQTT messages need to be retained. I ended up just giving up and looking into how to set up a bridge with my local MQTT server. The type of automation, must be trigger. Defaults to legacy, which use_abbreviations (Optional, boolean): Whether to use of the JSON message. to use. update the fingerprints variable. reboot every 15 minutes because no client connected to the native API. In an optimal scenario I wouldnt need to write this automation to every device I want to control. You can change these messages by overriding the birth_message and I verified that Im able to do this: and this gets the job done. BUT You could use the websocket interface or the REST api to do those things: Home Assistant provides a RESTful API on the same port as the web frontend. The following is an example lovelace card configuration. Basically what Im looking is a reverse of mqtt_statestream: a way to just as easily let Home Assistant automatically listen to mqtt topics for remote control without having to manually declare configuration yaml/automation for each individual entity. discovery in your Home Assistant configuration with the following: And that should already be it All devices defined through ESPHome should show up automatically discovery (Optional, boolean): If Home Assistant automatic topic (Required, string): The MQTT topic to subscribe to and listen for MQTT Would it be a better solution to create an automation that translates the mqtt messages into events and then use the events as triggers? To achieve the best possible integration (including MQTT discovery): Since Home Assistant 2021.11 the device/group page in Home Assistant can directly link to the frontend (Visit device button). in the generated entity names (e.g. /status with payload online, and will tell the topic (Required, string): The MQTT topic to publish the message. See Last Will And Birth Messages for more information. Defaults to 0. retain (Optional, boolean, templatable): If the published message should At least one of identifiers or connections must be present to identify the device. How could I use the http requests to trigger state changes? Assistant restart. Ive to use a username and a password? payload (Required, string): The message content.

See Last Will And Birth Messages for more information. Zigbee Network Map Home Assistant Custom Cardopen in new window. Note that I enumerate state changes from on to off and vice versa explicitely to avoid states not resulting in switch.turn_off or switch.turn_on (like unavailable). The maximum QoS level to be used when receiving messages. See on_json_message Trigger. then run the mqtt-fingerprint script of ESPHome to get the certificate: If used with the esp-idf framework a TLS connection to a mqtt broker can be established. Publish an MQTT message on a topic using this action in automations. You can add it to the appropriate section of your configuration.yaml, or you can add it as a Home Assistant Packageopen in new window by adding the following to zigbee2mqtt.yaml in your packages folder. Therefore the old entities will also In the payload option you have access to a root object which will represents the base object Ive got a local MQTT server configured in HA for some random crap Im doing. that are different from each other, availability reporting will be I also use a MQTT to IR device have a look at my scripts examples: For the HTTP have a look at https://home-assistant.io/components/rest_command/. This is a problem. qos (Optional, int): The MQTT Quality of Service to subscribe to the topic with. The time in seconds between sending keep alive messages for this client. If I do it your way then the following would happen: When I push the same botton on my remote control severall times then only the first pressing is detected because the state would be on after the first pushing and it wouldnt change if I pushed the button again. Why cant just turn the switch off in the automation and set a count up to count the number of times it beening press then after a minute reset the count back to 0, Dont ask how to do only been for a couple months lol, Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled, https://home-assistant.io/components/script/, https://home-assistant.io/components/rest_command/, https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.mqtt/. MQTT broker settings are configured when the MQTT integration is first setup, and can be changed if needed. qos (Optional, int, templatable): The Quality of Defaults to false. Abbreviations The JSON message will be constructed using the ArduinoJson library. In an usual scenario you would create a MQTT switch instead and get a nice element in the UI. Everything has been working nicely and I'm not interested in moving it all on-prem. My cloud mq server is running SSL for external traffic. Defaults to and birth message feature of MQTT to achieve availability reporting for configuration. for verifying SSL connections. "YES" : "NO"; # {"key": 42.0, "greeting": "Hello World"}. discovery (Optional, boolean): Manually enable/disable reboot_timeout (Optional, Time): The amount of time to wait before rebooting when no To get this fingerprint, first put the broker and port options in the configuration and to the broker is established. The main drawback of this approach is that although you use wildcards (# and +) to subscribe to remote multiple topics, they all get forwarded onto the same local topic. Home Assistant installation and ESPHome to that broker. I'm guessing I'll still have to install the broker locally even if I don't use it.

That is one reason why i had the idea that it would be a better idea to model external events like the pushing of a button as ha events. entity name (e.g. have a retain flag on or not. In an optimal scenario I wouldnt need to write this automation to every device I want to control. containsKey first as the ESP will crash if an element that does not exist is accessed. Here you can also prevent a device from being discovered. sensor.uptime becomes sensor._uptime), I was wrongly assuming, that the MQTT push button is the MQTT switch. broker (Required, string): The host of your MQTT broker. Defaults to the global default. discovery_unique_id_generator (Optional, string): The unique_id generator Is there anyway in HA (I'm using HassOS) that I can subscribe to my remote broker instead of running one internally? topic_prefix if you have specified it manually. Home Assistant 2021.12 allows MQTT devices to change What I've done to make HA work with my remote MQTT broker is to setup the MQTT integration which then asked me for the MQTT host. Btw thanks for your Zigbee2MQTT suggestion, it is indeed an awesome little tool which Im already using! Still, Id very much prefer having an ability to simply add a sensor in HA via a remote MQTT with simple means. Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled, yes, it is. This is the easiest to set up, but there is no privacy as all messages are public. So, it doesnt work on my installation. This allows Zigbee2MQTT to automatically add devices to Home Assistant. command_topic (Optional, string): The topic to subscribe to for Defaults to discovery for a component. Seems I cannot add a second MQTT broker easily. sensor.uptime). Only thing you could do (to get at lease some visual representation in the UI) is to create a MQTT Binary Sensor for the MQTT push button. WiFi traffic with more pings. Using ESPHome with Home Assistant is easy, simply setup an MQTT To use the message content, use a lambda button_1. Set this to true if ypi send large amounts of of data over mqtt. To give some background: I have a remote physical touch screen where Im building a small GUI to control some aspects of my home automation. Defaults I also tried experimenting with mqtt_statestream to see if I could craft an MQTT message like this: but for some reason I couldnt get this working. Ive already found hass_statestream which publishes mqtt messages when I use these entities from my HA. For example the MAC address of a network interface: 'connections': ['mac', '02:5b:26:a8:dc:12']. have a retain flag on or not. As an alternative to the above way of integrating, you can also listen to MQTT topics. Defaults to true. By default, ESPHome will prefix all messages with your node name or discovery messages so that entities are added automatically on Home See Also make sure to change the port of the mqtt broker. Hi James interested too in multiple brokers. First, Id check with a tool like MQTT Explorer on your desktop whether you can connect to the broker or not. All components in ESPHome that do some sort of communication through I'm a believer in Encrypt Everything. Here I used the mqtt sensor to listen to these messages and change its state accordingly. This works for me even if I have the feeling that there should be a more elegant way to do it. To enable this set the url in the frontend configuration. I guess MQTT is a light enough protocol I don't have to worry about running a broker I don't need. If the birth message and last will message have empty topics or topics Then I have my Home Assistant which contains this switch: I can see its nice UI element and there isnt anything MQTT related with this switch: So what I would like is to be able to press this physical push button and this would instruct home assistant to remote control this switch and turn the connected light/device behind it on/off. Powered by a worldwide community of tinkerers and DIY enthusiasts. I added the IP address of my remote MQTT broker at that point, and MQTT has been working flawlessly for me ever since. Tonight the need arose to get sensor data from a remote MQTT broker for power monitoring. broker (like mosquitto) and point both your for more information. What Im looking is a way how I can just assume that if I have a switch.mylight in HA then I could just remote control it by sending a message to a topic like homeassistant/set_state/switch/mylight . certificate_authority (Optional, string): Only with esp-idf. If you are running a Mosquitto instance on a different server with proper SSL encryption using a service like Lets Encrypt you may have to set the certificate to the operating systems own .crt certificates file. Now i have a sensor which state changes i can use for triggers. If you are connecting to Home Assistant, you may prefer to use the native API, be retained. System 1 can send a mqtt message when a button is pressed on the remote. making it easier to distinguish the entities in various entity lists. Here I have some problems because ha generates incorrect json using single quotes and not double quotes. In the instance of Ubuntu this would be certificate: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt. connections. Ive an auto-generated password and its very long. The mosquitto broker package ships commandline tools (often as *-clients package) to send and receive MQTT messages. See Last Will And Birth Messages for more information. The MQTT topic to publish the message. in which case this is not needed. For other types you have to manually create a config in the Home Assistant configuration.yaml. I think that in this case I will go with the REST api to feed the data into HA andwith the mqtt_statestream to feed the data out from HA. shutdown_message (Optional, MQTTMessage): The message to send when My second question is: How do I convert them? 2- The IP address of my Home Assistant is 192.168.1.150, does the broker also have this address?

The log_topic has an additional configuration option: level (Optional, string): The log level to use for MQTT logs. A list of IDs that uniquely identify the device. I do this because i have my homeassistant manage multiple properties and use encryption on all of my iot devices that are remote. I cant see any hint in the documentation or code that the MQTT integration is supposed to support more than one broker. The client only enqueues the message. Will be filled by the actual payload with some The most private option is running your own MQTT broker. left/right), # Input select for Zigbee2MQTT debug level, # Input number for joining time remaining (in minutes), # Input text to input Zigbee2MQTT friendly_name for scripts, # Input boolean to set the force remove flag for devices, # Scripts for renaming & removing devices, "{{ states.input_text.zigbee2mqtt_old_name.state | string }}", "{{ states.input_text.zigbee2mqtt_new_name.state | string }}", "{{ states.input_text.zigbee2mqtt_remove.state | string }}", # Timer for joining time remaining (254 sec), # Sensor for Showing the Zigbee2MQTT Version, # Sensor for Showing the Coordinator Version, "{{ value_json.coordinator.meta.revision }}", # if you change base_topic of Zigbee2mqtt, change state_topic accordingly, # again, if you change base_topic of Zigbee2mqtt, change json_attributes_topic accordingly, # Automation for sending MQTT message on input select change, "{{ states('input_select.zigbee2mqtt_log_level') }}", # Automation to start timer when enable join is turned on, "{{ '00:0%i:00' % (states('input_number.zigbee2mqtt_join_minutes') | int ) }}", # Automation to stop timer when switch turned off and turn off switch when timer finished, "zigbee2mqtt_create_notification_on_successful_interview", '{{trigger.payload_json.type == "device_interview" and trigger.payload_json.data.status == "successful" and trigger.payload_json.data.supported}}', Zigbee Network Map Home Assistant Custom Card. on_message (Optional, Automation): An action to be Have a look at creating a mqtt bridge. ssl_fingerprints (Optional, list): Only on ESP8266. Or would it again be a better solution to create events? This is because in order This method work by responding to the state change event of a sensor. On the ESP8266 you have the option to use SSL connections for MQTT.

The following Home Assistant configuration allows you to control Zigbee2MQTT from Home Assistant. Thanks! See on_message Trigger. The MQTT device triggers are discovered by Zigbee2MQTT once the event is triggered on the device at least once. This Condition checks if the MQTT client is currently connected to See SSL Fingerprints. Choose Settings on the left menu, click Devices & Services, and choose Configure in the Mosquitto broker tile. Dont verify if the common name in the server certificate matches the value of broker. It is used in several places like last will and birth messages or MQTT log options. Due to the way this trigger works internally it is incompatible with certain actions and will id (Optional, ID): Manually specify the ID used for code generation. From system 1 my home assistant receives mqtt messages. Home Assistant contains a WebSocket API. global birth/last will message. Neither ActiveMQ MQTT broker nor the RabbitMQ MQTT Plugin are supported, use a known working broker like Mosquitto instead. Additionally, SHA1 is known to be partially insecure The MQTT Client Component sets up the MQTT connection to your broker. will get expanded to the ESP32 once the base library, AsyncTCP, supports it. I do agree bridging is probably the best option. If you experience an error message like Failed to connect due to exception: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed, then add certificate: auto to your broker configuration and restart Home Assistant. the MQTT connection is dropped. If you want to prefix all MQTT messages with a different prefix, like When using Home Assistant MQTT discovery, Zigbee2MQTT integrates with the Home Assistant device registryopen in new window. From my understanding you want to control your MQTT device with Home Assistant, is that is so, the best way is to make a Script: https://home-assistant.io/components/script/ topic (Required, string, templatable): However, as of today, there is no way to have HA monitor MQTT topics to turn on/off switches via command. will_message with the following options. Next, enable authentication. sent to the device should be retained or not. Optional payload to match the payload being sent over the topic. MQTT sensor msg dont need to be in json, take a look at the MQTT sensor docs https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.mqtt/ the very last example of the brightness isnt in json. With renote access, do you mean remote in network outside your home network or outside of the machine running Home Assistant but in your home network?
