Hello, can you confirm how the homie data described here for the MQTT broker is configured into the homie-esp8266 and the homie-server i.e. MQTT topic ESP8266 (config) homie-server (infrastructure.yml) devices/device ID JSON “device_id” devices: -id devices/device ID/$name JSON “name” ? devices/device ID/$nodes NomieNode(id,type) nodes: -id type

And regarding the "node type", is there a prescribed list of these recognised by the homie-server e.g. shutters, temperature, heater, light.

You're right. The infrastructure.yml name field for a node is the text you want to be shown on the UI (look at the screenshot in the first page, for the shutters node the name is set to Volets roulants), so there is no link between this value and MQTT topics and the ESP8266 config.

No there is none. What is currently implemented is here, but this project is very much a WIP and nothing is documented yet. But you can implement your own components if you want, as you can see this is pretty straightforward!

Thanks, I understand the alpha/WIP thing. I just needed to understand the data layout better.
