Integrating OpenMQTTGateway with Home Assistant for Multi-Sensor Automation

Integrations
1

Hello

I am looking to integrate OpenMQTTGateway with Home Assistant to manage multiple sensors (temperature; humidity; motion) in a unified automation setup.

What’s the best way to configure the gateway for optimal sensor data transmission? Additionally; how can I ensure that each sensor’s data is correctly interpreted & triggers corresponding actions in Home Assistant automations? :upside_down_face:

Are there any specific MQTT topic structures / payload formats that work best for organizing multiple sensors? :thinking: I have referred MQTT - Home Assistant splunk documentation guide but still need help.

Also; I would love to hear recommendations on how to minimize latency / potential issues when dealing with multiple devices simultaneously.

Thank you ! :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello,

With OpenMQTTGateway we support HA auto discovery, so out of the box the gateway and recognised sensors should be auto discovered and available into the devices list. No need to worry about the topic structure and payload formats. More information below
