Configuration example for xiaomi sensor in hassio

1

Hi. I’ve managed to setup hassio with zigbee2mqtt and successfully connected the sensors. I’m missing the config needed to visualize the sensors on the hassio homepage. Can anybody share a working example. Indicate all files to be edited. Much appreciated.

No configuration is necessary, assuming you set up zigbee2mqtt and home assistant properly:

  • do you have mqtt discovery set up in home assistant?
  • do you have homeassistant: true set up in zigbee2mqtt?

Thanks nickrout!
In home assistant configuration.yaml i have:

mqtt:
broker: a0d7b954-mqtt
username: username
password: pasword
client_id: home-assistant
discovery: true
birth_message:
topic: ‘hass/status’
payload: ‘online’
will_message:
topic: ‘hass/status’
payload: ‘offline’

and the zigbee2mqtt config:

{
“data_path”: “/share/zigbee2mqtt”,
“homeassistant”: true,
“permit_join”: true,
“mqtt_base_topic”: “zigbee2mqtt”,
“mqtt_server”: “mqtt://homeassistant”,
“serial_port”: “/dev/ttyACM0”,
“devices”: [],
“network_key”: []
}

what’s missing?

in the zigbee2mqtt log i can see the perodic messages from the 2 sensors i have connected:

zigbee2mqtt:info 2019-2-2 10:19:01 MQTT publish: topic ‘zigbee2mqtt/0x00158d0002c71636’, payload ‘{“illuminance”:7,“linkquality”:10,“occupancy”:false,“battery”:100,“voltage”:3015}’
zigbee2mqtt:info 2019-2-2 10:29:17 MQTT publish: topic ‘zigbee2mqtt/0x00158d000274f511’, payload ‘{“contact”:true,“linkquality”:0,“battery”:100,“voltage”:3005}’

what’s missing?

thanks again for all help!

mine says mqtt://localhost, but I am not running hassio.

Also you don’t have an mqtt username or password.
