help to understand auto discovery

Post by tjabas »

Hi!

im about to install this MQTT auto discovery, i have tried homeassistant and i guess that this auto discovery is similar to the homeassistant autodiscovery.

but is there a guide how this configuration should be done?
i have added the plugin in the hardware menu, but im stuck with the remote adress and username and password, what should i enter there?

how does it work when the autodiscovery is working, does the discovered sensors,switches and more automatically end up in the switches menu or where can i find them?

Mqtt Auto discover gateway discovers mqtt devices that sends mqtt messages according the Homeassistant mqtt auto discover protocol.
See for more info wiki page https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/MQTT#Add_ ... Gateway.22

It is not the same as the Homeassistant auto discover function that scans your network for known network devices and adds them to the environment.
