Cumulus Support

Could use some assistance on the new MQTT. What do I need to add to Home Assistance to make it see CUMX MQTT now? Thank you.

DataUpdateTemplate:

{"topics": [
{
"topic": "CumulusMX/DataUpdate",
"data": "\"time\":\"<#timehhmmss>\",\"windspeed\":<#wlatest rc=y>,\"winddir\":<#bearing>,\"temp\":<#temp rc=y>,\"humidity\":<#hum>,\"wgust\":<#wgust rc=y>,\"dew\":<#dew rc=y>,\"wchill\":<#wchill rc=y>,\"wspeed\":<#wspeed rc=y>,\"press\":<#press rc=y>,\"UV\":<#UV>,\"SolarRad\":<#SolarRad>,\"rfall\":<#rfall>,\"rrate\":<#rrate>,\"heatindex\":<#heatindex>,\"bearing\":<#bearing>,\"wchill\":<#wchill>,\"forecast\":<#forecastenc>,
"retain": false
}
]}

Home Assistance configuration.yaml

- platform: mqtt
state_topic: "CumulusMX/DataUpdate"
name: "Davis Windspeed"
unit_of_measurement: 'mph'
icon: mdi:weather-windy
value_template: '{{ value_json.wspeed }}'

I have no idea what "home assistance" is expecting.

What did you previous version template that presumably worked look like? I can then convert that to the new format for you.

{"time":"<#timehhmmss>","temp":<#temp rc=y>,"humidity":<#hum>,"wgust":<#wgust rc=y>,"dew":"<#dew rc=y>","wchill":"<#wchill rc=y>","wspeed":"<#wspeed rc=y>","press":"<#press rc=y>","UV":"<#UV>","SolarRad":"<#SolarRad>","rfall":"<#rfall>","rrate":"<#rrate>","heatindex":"<#heatindex>","bearing":"<#bearing>","wchill":"<#wchill>","forecast":"<#forecastenc>"}

It looks like you almost had it right - you were missing the closing " marks after <#forecastenc>, and the curly brackets to make it be interpreted as JSON by your home assistance system.

I think this should do it?...

Working. Thank you very much..
