MQTT Discovery

[DaSchaef]

I'm collecting infos about MQTT Discovery

{
    "sw_version": "3.0",
    "name": "GDOOR Gira Bus Adapter",
    "force_update": true,
    "icon": "mdi:door",
    "state_topic": "gdoor/rx",
    "command_topic": "gdoor/tx"
}

topic: homeassistant/sensor/gdoor/data/config

retention flag needed

Just for reference:

• https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mqtt#mqtt-discovery
• https://www.openhab.org/addons/bindings/mqtt.homeassistant/

Nice to have: set the configuration_url to the IP of the adapter to get a link to the adapter UI (see https://developers.home-assistant.io/blog/2021/10/26/config-entity/).

entity_category=config: we can also create config entries. entity_category=diagnostic: we can show status infos
