I’ve been trying to connect my “AI on the Edge” to my Home Assistant via MQTT for a week now, but unfortunately it doesn’t work as described in the tutorials. I can see both the Home Assistant and the electricity meter via the MQTT explorer. I can add a sensor manually (which is quite tedious), but it cannot be integrated in the energy dashboard, only in the normal dashboard.
In the tutorials, all possible sensors have automatically appeared in Home Assistant, but unfortunately not in my case, and I just can’t get any further.
I have found the solution! I used a letter on the ESP that mqtt couldn’t do anything with (e.g. ö, ä and ü). I have now changed this letter and suddenly all the sensors were available.
Thanks anyway, have a nice day!
