CMX version 3.5.2 is now available which should fix the MQTT issues.
Yes it is working, and I get messages through the broker!
Great! This was resolved very quickly!
This is a great feature which will make home automation even nicer!
Now I realise that Home Assistant is configured with another locale. So 18.9 degrees instead of 18,9 degrees.
A conversion option would be very very interesting, as I might expect that this will happen both ways.
(Meanwhile I'll try to find a solution in Home Assistant as well)

I do, but I use it only rudimentary for reading my electricity meter.
Now you set me on a track...

You probably should be using the <#RCxxx> versions of the tags in JSON. I'll have a version of CMX soon that accepts the dot decimal parameter (rc=y) on all decimal number tags.

Can someone feeding Home Assistant please help me out?
I've been trying to get my MQTT messages to turn up as entities in HA but they fail to appear. I can see the messages in HA if I use the # to listen to all messages in the HA MQTT settings page. What's the secret to make this happen? Thanks
Here's the received message in the MQTT settings page:
Message 5 received on homeassistant/cumulus at 11:50 AM:
{
"time": "11:50:42",
"temp": 13.4,
"humidity": 47,
"wgust": 13
}
QoS: 0 - Retain: false
It's got me stumped :/

You need to create a sensor. This is a snippet of my sensors file
Code: Select all
- platform: mqtt
name: "Weather Station Rain"
state_topic: "tele/cumulusmx/interval"
value_template: '{{ value_json["rain"] }}'
unit_of_measurement: "mm"
- platform: mqtt
name: "Weather Station Pressure"
state_topic: "tele/cumulusmx/interval"
value_template: '{{ value_json["pressure"] }}'
unit_of_measurement: "hPa"
- platform: mqtt
name: "Weather Station Wind Speed"
state_topic: "tele/cumulusmx/interval"
value_template: '{{ value_json["windspeed"] }}'
unit_of_measurement: "mph"
- platform: mqtt
name: "Weather Station Wind Gust"
state_topic: "tele/cumulusmx/interval"
value_template: '{{ value_json["windgust"] }}'
unit_of_measurement: "mph"
- platform: mqtt
name: "Weather Station Humidity"
state_topic: "tele/cumulusmx/interval"
value_template: '{{ value_json["humidity"] }}'
unit_of_measurement: "%"

Thanks Sadgit
Does that go in the configuration.yaml?
Re: MQTT

It does, but I split out all my sensors into a separate file. So this goes at the bottom of the configuration.yaml
sensor: !include sensor.yaml
Then in the same folder create a
sensor.yaml
The code I posted then goes directly into the sensor.yaml
If you know what I mean?

Yip, I think I got what you mean.
I'm trying to get my weather station outside temp on my esp3266 esphome powered spa controller which is working but trying improvements.

Thanks Sadgit.
You were on the money and it's now working. You also taught me yaml nesting. 2 for the price of 1
Thanks again.
So in a nutshell, and for those following along at home, it appears that the MQTT discovery setting does not automagically add MQTT feeds into HomeAsistant like I thought it should. It's needs sensors manually added to a yaml file (configuation.yaml or broken out like Sadgit suggested above).
Not once did I see this in any documentation (but I may have missed this)!
Now to figure the rest of the #tags

happy to help. You can use MQTT explorer (if using windows) to see what is being sent by your mqtt server.
Cheers
