I want to add a custom MQTT sensor to an existing Tasmota device.
How can I find the correct “identifiers” value for a Tasmota device?
- name: "RC cellar uvlevel filtered"
unique_id: rc_cellar_uvlevel_filtered
state_topic: "tele/DEVBOARD5/UV_CLEAN"
value_template: "{{ value }}"
unit_of_measurement: "UV"
device:
identifiers: "8c5dd5cfd62ef6516b78d9cebc68164a"
name: "DEVBOARD5"
manufacturer: "Tasmota"
model: "ESP32-DevKit"
force_update: true
I’ve tried multiple options (MAC address, long device ID, etc.) but always end up with an orphan device+entity.
Is there a way to double check this value somewhere in HA, Tasmota console or MQTT logs instead of trying to guess it?
Or is it an HA limitation / can’t be done ?
Thx!
