If you want to know if for sure you found all of them, leave the error on the systems page and restart home assistant. If you got them the error wont be there we you log back on.
I just want to say thank you for this video. I am adding my first custom MQTT sensors and could not for the life of me figure out why it was not working. As a newbie, the documentation made no sense. I watched this video and 5 minutes later I solved my problem. Thanks!
Hey there, thanks for this. I have created some "analog" MQTT sensor, the way you show it. But I cannot find how to make those sensors available/pushed to the database and to be found in InfluxDB/Grafana... any tips?
Not a lot of info on these notifications on how to repair these problems. I managed to fix mqtt (sensors and switches) and now i have two more problems to figure out: 1. "The speedtest service is being removed" 2. "The automation "all doors locked" (automation.doors_status) has an action that calls an unknown service: notify.mobile_app_cosmins_iphone."
If this works for me when I finally make it home from this work trip, I will definitely be buying you a coffee/beer. I somehow missed how the mqtt in the include line makes it not necessary in the new yaml file, I’m pretty sure this is why I couldn’t get mine to work early on in my home assistant learning.
It is not the include line, it is the new syntax - all MQTT sensors are defined under mqtt.sensor, so there is no need for the "platform:..." line. You can see the exact same pattern in the first part of the video, where he uses only one configuration file.
@@BogdanSass thanks for your reply, I struggle with this, but what I think I now understand is that because the mqtt is in the include line, it’s not needed in the new yaml file that the include line directs it to. Whereas I was starting the new yaml file with mqtt:, I believe in error.
@@waynenocton I see what you mean now, and you are also correct - the idea is that you only need to say "MQTT" once. With includes, the included file(s) replace the !include directive - so the MQTT: part already exists in the config.
Thanks! Now my entities are working! One question I have is how to combine multiple MQTT entities and put them under a single device. Can this be done???
How to resolve this problem if you have already separate sensors, switches, covers... and include them in configuration.yaml, and now need to include also mqtt? Does everything sensors, switches, covers...needs to be in mqqt.yaml, or you can separate it like its be before?
You can separate like before. They just need as sensor, switch or so under the mqtt: integration. So in your configuration.yaml everything needs to be under just one mqtt: if you have packages you can put a mqtt: in each package.
I recently bought a Dingtian DT-R008 8CH Smart Relay that I’m hoping to use in conjunction with temperature sensors to control zone valves for heat in my house. So far I have been to get the relay board connected to my network and the MQTT broker in HA, I added the switch entities via a .yaml file and I can control them via the HA dashboard but so far I’ve been up able to get them to turn on and off thru a automation script. Any help would be great. Thanks
As long as you can interact with the switches in home Assistant, then in an automation you would just need a trigger, and then in the action section of your automation you would use the call service option and use either the switch.turn_on service or the switch.turn_off service. Then just choose your switch entity you want to turn on or off.
Hey man, i never had a problem with the thing i did from your channel until now. I have my configuration spkit with packages. I prepare a mqtt.yaml file and placed there all the switches.When i restart HA my MQTT didnt load and have this The following integrations and platforms could not be set up: mqtt (Show logs) tasmota (Show logs) Any help? Thanks in advance
I would have to see what is in the log to really have an idea. But if you moved stuff to the mqtt.yaml. Make sure you don’t have a mqtt: in that file. And make sure everything in the mqtt.yaml is following to new format. No - platform: mqtt in there. The mqtt integration won’t understand the platform: mqtt
I had a heck of a time with the correct spacing and with when and where to put the - in. For whatever reason I ended up having to changed the order of the lines themselves also, but it did eventually work.
Always getting error: sistant/reload_all. Cannot quick reload all YAML configurations because the configuration is not valid: Integration error: mqqt - Integration 'mqqt' not found
I can't figure this one out. I tried using device tracker like sensor: device_tracker: - platform: mqtt devices: my_phone: "home/myphone" I also had them in yaml files with other things. Based on your old video about weather stations. Wonder what you did for all db calcs and such,
i have rfbridge on tasmota i made a mqtt.yaml and put all the data in, i also have a remote with a,b,c,d, button as a binary_sensor i can program ich button to something, but now with the mqtt.yaml i dont get the a,b,c,d entities? this is in the mqtt.yaml file binary_sensor: - name: "Button_A" state_topic: "tele/tasmota_C37EAE/RESULT" value_template: '{{value_json.RfReceived.Data}}' payload_on: '65C0C4' payload_off: '65C0C4off' off_delay: 1 what am i doing wrong here?

Thank you so much for this video. I saw the warning and didn't really know what to do to fix it.
This video made my day! So easy to solve a "supposedly" big problem. Thanks!
Dude Thank you for this! I really needed this.
Your email convinced me to do it. haha
my hero. thankyou
Thanks mate, been putting off doing this for a few months now. All updated and working again. 👊
thank you very much, I love you from now on
It’s pretty ironic that I did this a few days ago and did the same exact steps!
Great job on this video!
Rock on. Fixed my Hass...
Thanks a lot, you saved my HA configuration. ❤
I did this 2 months ago when following your tutorial on how to make your washer smart and noticed that nothing was working :D.
Thank you, very helpful!

@@SlackerLabs Thank you so much, that worked great, I kept trying to do it with the "Device" or "Condition" action it just wouldn't work.
I just did this yesterday myself.
Thanks loads!!!

Will this also affect sensors under - platform: mqtt_room?
Nope. No changes to that one.
Thanks

Find where mqqt is in your config and change it to mqtt
@@SlackerLabs Thank you!
Ah... the clickety-click of a mechanical keyboard... Did this a while ago, but wanted to give you a view :)
It was a pain in the rear trying to get this to work in my config, but I split my config up and that was most of the issue
Thanks!
Thanks a lot :-)
No mention of the easiest way to define mqtt sensors? Auto-discovery under the 'homeassistant/[sensortype]" topic? That is what has my life easier.
That’s a good point. I’m so used to doing things manually in home assistant that I tend to forget about auto discovery.
where do you put the autodiscovery?
video starts 2:06
I can't figure this one out. I tried using device tracker like sensor:
device_tracker:
- platform: mqtt
devices:
my_phone: "home/myphone"
I also had them in yaml files with other things. Based on your old video about weather stations. Wonder what you did for all db calcs and such,
I think this is the syntax you want for that one: gist.github.com/thejeffreystone/41d67f03891c04b3b2cbdc47d83ad570
i have rfbridge on tasmota i made a mqtt.yaml and put all the data in, i also have a remote with a,b,c,d, button as a binary_sensor i can program ich button to something, but now with the mqtt.yaml i dont get the a,b,c,d entities?
this is in the mqtt.yaml file
binary_sensor:
- name: "Button_A"
state_topic: "tele/tasmota_C37EAE/RESULT"
value_template: '{{value_json.RfReceived.Data}}'
payload_on: '65C0C4'
payload_off: '65C0C4off'
off_delay: 1
what am i doing wrong here?
Thank you, very helpful!
