HA sensor setup #66

Open jasondreher opened 1 year ago

jasondreher commented 1 year ago

I got this running perfectly on one pi, but when I moved on to another pi I cant get bot sensors to show in HA.

Can you just show how to set up a sensor manually in HA so it will work? I tried the below but it would not work.

- name: "testpi"
  state_topic: "home/nodes/sensor/rpi-mqttnodered/monitor"

And I definitely have two items in MQTT image image

FYI, my MQTT is separate from my HA so not sure if that is causing issues

Did you change the name etc on the second Pi? It should not be the same as on your first pi. It then just shows up under MQTT on HA.

Both host names were originally different, one "Office" the other the default "raspberrypi". I did change the "Office" to "RA-Office" as it is running room assistant, just to be more clear. image image I changed it back to see what would happen, but the second one still has nothing image

any way to set this up as just a sensor? I set up the below and it pulls info but does not provide the right info

- name: "testpi"
  state_topic: "home/nodes/sensor/rpi-mqttnodered/monitor"  
  json_attributes_topic: "home/nodes/sensor/rpi-mqttnodered/monitor"
