So trying to feed data for my ws2812b led matrix. Have no clue if the code will work as I cannot seem to populate the text field.
mqtt:
id: mqtt_client
broker: 192.168.1.50
# username: "***"
# password: "****"
text_sensor:
- platform: mqtt_subscribe
name: "Text"
id: extratext
topic: text/text
I have tried MQTT>Configure>publish
Also tried cmd line
C:\Program Files\mosquitto>mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.1.50 -t text/text -m "Gramps" -d
Client (null) sending CONNECT
Client (null) received CONNACK (0)
Client (null) sending PUBLISH (d0, q0, r0, m1, 'text/text', ... (6 bytes))
Client (null) sending DISCONNECT
C:\Program Files\mosquitto>
I always get unknown
[14:06:43][C][ota:082]: Over-The-Air Updates:0.pool.ntp.org ’1.pool.ntp.org ’2.pool.ntp.org ’
I took a peek at helpers, but not really sure where you put the data/text that way.
It should not be this hard :slight_smile:
Thanks,

It seems that your mqtt config is working. How did you check the text_sensor to see if it has subscribed to the mqtt message or not?

Thanks,
All that said I changed the id from text to text2 and for whatever reason if I published to text/text developer tools states for sensor_text2 did show what I published. But, again on reboot the esp it does not show any data at QTT Text Sensor ‘Text2’:
Thanks again for your help,

Somehow I now have 3 variations of text2. 2 have the same friendly name Text2. How do I delete the extras?
also
Just delete the device from integration and re add it after rebooting HA server. It should take care of duplicate entities.

Thanks,
I just created a new thingamabob with text/text4 and it basically works.
On a reboot of the esp8266 text2_4 loses the text but if I publish MQTT to text/text4 it works
So I am happy I can make it work, but have no idea why
Thanks again for your help,

Actually you have to delete the device with duplicate entities from your esphome integration and then re add it after rebooting the server. You absolutely dont have to delete the esphome yaml in the esphome addon.
If anything do ask
