Cannot connect mysensors to Home Assistant

    Your mysensors home assistant config is missing the value for the device key. In your case it should be mqtt.

    I've set everything up to test a simple switch and read the state in home assistant, it seems like everything is working except for home assistant, home assistant seemingly ignores the MQTT messages and does not show any mysensors entities.

    This is my setup:

    Switch→Arduino Nano→RFM69→RFM69→RaspberryPi→MQTT→MQTT broker→home assistant

    The raspberry pi is only running the mysensors gateway, the MQTT broker and home assistant are running on a server.

    From what I can tell there is an issue between the MQTT broker and home assistant because everything else works up to that point. Home Assistant simply does not display any my sensors entities, it is as if it is ignoring the MQTT messages. Any advice to get the mysensors entities showing would be much appreciated. Configuration and debug follows.

    This is the arduino code, using the 2.2 mysensors library, and arduino IDE 1.8.3

    // Enable debug prints to serial monitor
    #define MY_DEBUG 
    
    // Enable and select radio type attached
    #define MY_RADIO_RFM69
    #define MY_RFM69_NEW_DRIVER
    #define MY_RFM69_FREQUENCY RFM69_915MHZ 
    #define MY_IS_RFM69HW
    #define MY_NODE_ID 10
    
    #define MY_RFM69_NETWORKID 100
    
    #include <SPI.h>
    #include <MySensors.h>
    #include <Bounce2.h>
    
    #define CHILD_ID 3
    #define BUTTON_PIN  3  // Arduino Digital I/O pin for button/reed switch
    
    Bounce debouncer = Bounce(); 
    int oldValue=-1;
    
    // Change to V_LIGHT if you use S_LIGHT in presentation below
    MyMessage msg(CHILD_ID,V_TRIPPED);
    
    void setup()  
    {  
      // Setup the button
      pinMode(BUTTON_PIN,INPUT);
      // Activate internal pull-up
      digitalWrite(BUTTON_PIN,HIGH);
    
      // After setting up the button, setup debouncer
      debouncer.attach(BUTTON_PIN);
      debouncer.interval(5);
    
    }
    
    void presentation() {
      // Register binary input sensor to gw (they will be created as child devices)
      // You can use S_DOOR, S_MOTION or S_LIGHT here depending on your usage. 
      // If S_LIGHT is used, remember to update variable type you send in. See "msg" above.
      sendSketchInfo("testing", "2.0");
      present(CHILD_ID, S_DOOR);  
    }
    
    
    //  Check if digital input has changed and send in new value
    void loop() 
    {
      debouncer.update();
      // Get the update value
      int value = debouncer.read();
    
      if (value != oldValue) {
         // Send in the new value
         send(msg.set(value==HIGH ? 1 : 0));
         oldValue = value;
      }
    }
    

    These are my pi configuration options, also running version 2.2

    sudo ./configure --my-mqtt-client-id=rfm --my-mqtt-user=hass --my-mqtt-password=notarealpassword --my-mqtt-publish-topic-prefix=rfm-out --my-mqtt-subscribe-topic-prefix=rfm-in --my-transport=rfm69 --my-rfm69-frequency=915 --my-controller-ip-address=192.168.0.20 --my-gateway=mqtt --my-port=1883
    

    This is my home assistant configuration

    mysensors:

        - device:

  • Mod

    My-controller-ip isn't necessary since the gateway only talks to mqtt broker



  • How else will it get the IP of my broker then? That's the only field I put in my server IP hosting home assistant the the MQTT broker.


  • Mod

    As I said, the mqtt broker is the only way they will talk to each other and the only IP they need is the mqtt broker address.



  • The messages are being published to the broker, that part is working. The last bit in my post shows what the broker is sending/receiving.

    Edit: From the manual

        --my-controller-ip-address=<IP> Controller or MQTT broker ip.
    

    In this case it represents my MQTT broker IP. I believe I have the usage correct.


  • Mod

    Sorry about that, I usually put all parameters is myconfig.h file because it's more straightforward



  • @gohan Oh I didn't know I could put them there, I will do that!


  • Mod

    @SquareKinematics if you do that, you'll need to take care every time you update mysensors. Otherwise your settings might be lost.


  • Mod

    I use the file because I can copy it to wherever I need it in order to have every time all my setting the same when I compile 🙂


  • Plugin Developer

    @SquareKinematics

    Your mysensors home assistant config is missing the value for the device key. In your case it should be mqtt.



  • @martinhjelmare Good eye! I can't believe I missed this. Thank you. This solved my problem.

    I look forward to using this in my home automation setup 🙂
