Question on MQTT and HA #419

Open wrongisthenewright opened 3 months ago

wrongisthenewright commented 3 months ago

Is there a way to set ebusd to send to HA every message decoded, even if it doesn't have a complete match for auto discovery? I have an Ariston system that send some messages that I'd like to have in HA (serial numbers and, if I got it right, program schedules). I'm struggling with mqtt-hassio.cfg. I have removed (at least I think) all filters but I think the lack of type mappings blocks the flow. It seems that mqtt messages are sent so I can set HA to subscribe to a topic but I 'd have to set many different sensors and I 'd like to avoid the effort..ty in advance

Comment out all filters. mqtt-hassio.cfg

Hi, thank you for reaching out but, as I wrote, I already removed almost all filters, I left only this one

filter-non-circuit = scan|ignored

to clean out only explicitly tagged messages, during the trials I had also this line commented. I can see that MQTT messages are sent, so ebusd correctly grabs the messages and publishes them via MQTT, only they're missing in HA, I think because there's no rules in mqtt-hassio.cfg to map these to HA entities type/device class.

If you look into my config then you can see that more types was added like curve, datetime, etc. Maybe it will help to show what you looking for. But I understand your point of view, I also add some custom MQTT sensors to show values I exactly need and could not find in HA autodiscovery or just for retype case.
