1 year ago Hi Cos, sorry for the delay I only just noticed your message.
The general concept based on mqtt-io should work, but I'm not sure my code will be much use to you. I do use sensors and pumps on a remote raspberry pi using mqtt to talk to home assistant (on another pi) running scripts based on raspipool code. I'm using custom sensor electronics and wrote a python script to report ph and orp via mqtt: https://github.com/matt-sullivan/raspipool-sensor-board/blob/main/software-python/update_home_assistant_pool_sensors.py.
I wrote that python script before I was aware of mqtt-io. I use mqtt-io for relay outputs and if I was doing it again I'd use it for sensor inputs too.

I have raspipool configures and would like to access the sensors and pumps via MQTT so that i can run raspipool on the main HA instance in the house. Will your code work for this? And is there any documentation i could read?
Many thanks Cos
