MQTT - Publisher

[bonello78]

Hi everyone,
I have completed the integration between NetAlertX and my HA via MQTT and it works fine: a new device was detected on NAX and it created the device with its sensors on HA. Great!
Now I would like to understand how to expose all present devices not just the new ones on HA.

Thanks

Selecting this setting will make sure devices are sent to MQTT & HA:

You can check the event log to see exactly when and how devices are sent. In the log search for:

[Plugins] CMD: python3 /app/front/plugins/_publisher_mqtt/mqtt.py

The logs below the line will give you insights what gets synced. You can also check Integrations > PLugins > MQTT section in the UI.

Hope this helps,
j

Thank you for your support. From the NAX log it seems that the information is sent correctly, from the MQTT log on HA I see that there is a connection (opened and then closed). Unfortunately, it does not create the devices and sensors. Any suggestions?

You can try adjusting the MQTT_VERSION in the settings if that makes a difference. The next step would be checking if the devices are created on the broker, e.g. with MQTT Explorer.

PLease also double-check the docs: https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/docs/HOME_ASSISTANT.md

Thanks for your suggestions. I checked with MQTT Explorer and the NAX Sensors are in Home Assistant,
but they are grouped under the node system-sensors and I'm not able to see them in HA. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

humm, maybe that's a question for HA forums. I use Mosquito and the sensors show up just fine.

Oh also, sensors show up for me in other sections:
