MQTT Client: Configuring Konnected as a MQTT client in ESPHome

Konnected devices can talk to a multitude of systems over the standardized MQTT protocol

MQTT Configuration using ESPHome

Konnected hardware can integrate with any platform that speaks MQTT by leveraging the ESPHome firmware. With Konnected + ESPHome you can combine Konnected's high-quality hardware with the power and flexibility of local and secure MQTT communication.

MQTT enables powerful integration with services like Node-RED, Homeseer, Domoticz and more.

See the ESPHome MQTT documentation for complete details. A simple MQTT connection only requires a broker address (and probably username/password).

mqtt: 
  broker: 192.168.1.78 
  discovery: False # remove if using MQTT with Home Assistant 
  username: mqtt_username 
  password: !secret mqtt_password

State Topics

By default, ESPHome will publish ON or OFF state payloads to an MQTT topic following this pattern: APP_NAME/COMPONENT_TYPE/COMPONENT_NAME/state

Example state topic:  my_konnected/binary_sensor/zone_1/state

Command Topics

Switch zone types will respond to ON or OFF payloads published to a topic following this pattern: APP_NAME/COMPONENT_TYPE/COMPONENT_NAME/command

Example command topic:  my_konnected/switch/siren/command
