Sensors not being detected in Home Assistant #95

Closed DeeBeeKay closed 2 years ago

DeeBeeKay commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I installed this from the provided setup file, ie I'm not running the beta, though I'm happy to if it will solve this.

Anyway, the documentation says that HA should automatically detect and configure the sensors. A day and two reboots, it still hasn't happened. Is there some special thing I need to do to encourage the sensors to get picked up? I've put my Mosquitto broker details into the app and it says All Good. But clearly something isn't.

Pls halp, I am not a clever man.

Hi! Thanks for creating an issue. Do you see any devices under the MQTT integration in Home Assistant?

DeeBeeKay commented 3 years ago

I do not. I should note that the other MQTT sensors I have are manually configured motion sensors - would this override the autodetection?

ImaBadCoder commented 3 years ago

are you able to connect to your mqtt server and verify that the topics have been created?

sleevezipper commented 3 years ago

Sorry for taking so long to reply. Did you get it working in the meantime? If not, you could try figuring out what's going on using MQTT Explorer.

I got this working by changing the host from localhost to my actual IP in the userinterface.exe config. localhost connected fine, but did not work with the discovery. Upon changing it immediately worked.
