I have a bunch of devices around the house that have been designed to operate with Node Red. There are a lot, so I do’t want to change their code. They must stay ‘as is’.
They publish and subscribe to Node Red topics and are mostly simple values like temperature, light level, PIR status. I am trying to transistion from a working Node Red set up to Home Assistant. I have the MQTT add on installed but it is not detecting any devices. I can set up a single topic to monitor in the MQTT configuration and the value is correct. How can I add all the other topics I want to monitor. I’ll worry about publishing later. I tried editing the configuration.yaml and it shows a tick but it doesn’t work. It comes up as an error in Notifications
You have to create a mqtt entity for each device
How do I do that? Can you give an example?

Thank you Francis, that is a very extensive example. Could I ask what kind of current monitor that refers to. I have designed my own module that has a simple Node Redd message in the form Utility/current NN. Where NN is a value representing the RMS current. I would guess that you are using a commercially available current sense flashed with Tasmota software. Most of my modules give a response that is of the same format - room/parameter value. A lot of your file seems to be formatting the file using json, which I am not familiar with. Is it possible to just use
value: number
unit_of_measurement: “Amps”
Or something similar.
Thank you for your feedback.
Ok. I finally cracked it. Thank you for your help
