Hi There,
Need the community assistant before I pull out all my hair
I’m trying to put together a very simple wireless window sensor. I’ve been following the youtube post by “the hook up” called " $5 DIY Wireless MQTT Smart Home Window Sensors" the project seem very simple and straight forward. How wrong I was, this is my 7th day on the project and I only now have the ESP-01 sending MQTT messages to Home Assistant. It is meant to show “open”, “close” or close and battery voltage but instead I see “{“State”:“open”, “voltage”:“3669”}” as the output when the chip is triggered.
Sensor.yaml code
- platform: mqtt
name: "KitchenWindow"
state_topic: "kitchenwindow"
Currently running HA 0.93.2
code - https://github.com/thehookup/MQTT_Window_Sensors
sketches -
Window_Static_CONFIGURE.ino
windows.yaml
I know I’m missing something, please assist
Thanks, Nick
