Getting data from MQTT to home assistant

Configuration
1

I am trying to get data from MQTT into Home assistant.
Data origin is a RF pir sensor.
Recognised in MQTT Explorer but never seen as a device in HA.
Configuration.YAML looks like this:

binary_sensor:
#Your PIR
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "PIR1"
    state_topic: "tele/rf-bridge1/RESULT"
    value_template: '{{value_json.RfReceived.Data}}'
    payload_on: "FD6AAE"
    payload_off: "FD6AAE_off"
    device_class: motion
    off_delay: 5
    qos: 1
#Backdoor
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Backdoor"
    statte_topic: "tele/rf-bridge1/RESULT"
    value_template: '{{value_json.RfReceived.Data}}'
    payload_on: "A991A9"
    payload_off: "A991A9_off"
    off_delay: 5
    device_class: door
    qos: 1

Any help pls.

The configuration you created for the two MQTT Binary Sensors uses an outdated format.

Refer to the documentation for examples of the new format.

Thanks. I have looked into the documentation, but still not able to get the results into HA. I’ll continue after the week-end.

What software is running on your RF bridge device? Topic seems suspiciously like Tasmota. If so, all you need is the Tasmota integration installed & you won’t need to manually write the yaml.

Ps. You have a typo for backdoor. Statte_topic instead of state_topic

Yes, You are right, I’ts Tasmoto.
I use Tasmoto for Switches w/o nay problems nor Yaml code.

Hmm, not sure I understand. Aren’t those devices shown as entities or events under your rf bridge?

I’d just try what Taras said - he’s pretty spot on with his answers

My switches loaded with Tasmota come as Device and entity under Tasmota, and working perfectly.
They are not under RF Bridge.
