2 years ago All entities is updating fine in HA now.
Device sensor values for LQI/signal, battery, tampered and online status should maybe be separated to to specific sensors/entities in HA instead of one for all. E.g. the entity "homely_device links" changes it's value each time one random sensor reports the signal. Would be nice to see wich sensor have bad or good signal strength.
Just got Homely installed, only smoke detectors. No alarm installed, maybe later. I have Home Assistant in use and wanted to get the status from the smoke detectors, entities like temperature, battery, LQI signal etc.
Your code were almost perfect for this! Except I needed MQTT username and password. Almost never used python before, but added it directly in your code.
mq = mqtt.Client(progname)mq.username_pw_set(mqtt_username,mqtt_pwd)mq.connect(args.mqttserver, port=args.mqttport, keepalive=600)mq.loop_start()The MQTT connections is successful and I can see some entities created, only temperature so far and not all have values. Will this service only write entities and values if they change?
