Has anyone gotten this Basic MQTT Example to work?
Followed it to the letter, service and enity both show up. but when I change the state via
{
"new_state": "some new state"
}
nothing changes in the state
my conf looks like this
# configuration.yaml entry
talk_to_me:
topic: talk
and my talk_to_me.py looks like this
import homeassistant.loader as loader
# The domain of your component. Should be equal to the name of your component.
DOMAIN = "talk_to_me"
# List of component names (string) your component depends upon.
DEPENDENCIES = ['mqtt']
CONF_TOPIC = 'topic'
DEFAULT_TOPIC = 'home-assistant/talk_to_me'
def setup(hass, config):
"""Setup the Talk To Me MQTT component."""
mqtt = loader.get_component('mqtt')
topic = config[DOMAIN].get('topic', DEFAULT_TOPIC)
entity_id = 'talk_to_me.last_message'
# Listener to be called when we receive a message.
def message_received(topic, payload, qos):
"""A new MQTT message has been received."""
hass.states.set(entity_id, payload)
# Subscribe our listener to a topic.
mqtt.subscribe(hass, topic, message_received)
# Set the intial state
hass.states.set(entity_id, 'No messages')
# Service to publish a message on MQTT.
def set_state_service(call):
"""Service to send a message."""
mqtt.publish(hass, topic, call.data.get('new_state'))
# Register our service with Home Assistant.
hass.services.register(DOMAIN, 'set_state', set_state_service)
# Return boolean to indicate that initialization was successfully.
return True
