Hello All,
I’ve setup an ESP32 with ESPRESENSE.
I’ve added it to MQTT
Now when i try to add the YAML i get an error, so i might be doing something wrong.
I hade split-up my configuration.yaml so i have a seperate sensors.yaml
I already have some stuff there
But when i add:
- Platform: mqtt_room
name: testst
device_id: XXXXXXXX
state_topic: espresense/rooms
i receive an error that “- Platform: mqtt_room” is not valid.
Error:
Where? What file are we looking at?
Also DO NOT POST IMAGES of code.

Where? What file are you trying to add this to?
Do not post fragments, post the whole yaml file that is giving you problems.
Woops. Sorry!.
I have a seperate sensors.yaml so i split my configuration.yaml.
My current sensors.yaml is the following:
## SolarEdge Templates ##
- platform: template
sensors:
solaredge_energy_this_year_template:
value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.solaredge_energy_this_year') | float / 1000) | round(0) }}"
unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
solaredge_current_power_template:
value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.solaredge_current_power') | float / 1000) | round(2) }}"
unit_of_measurement: "kW"
solaredge_energy_today_template:
value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.solaredge_energy_today') | float / 1000) | round(2) }}"
unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
solaredge_lifetime_energy_template:
value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.solaredge_lifetime_energy') | float / 1000) | round(2) }}"
unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
# Total Lights On
- platform: template
sensors:
total_lights:
unique_id: total_light
friendly_name: "Total Lights On"
value_template: >-
{{ states.light
|selectattr('state','eq','on')
|rejectattr('attributes.entity_id','defined')
|list |count }}
attribute_templates:
light_entities: >-
{% set domain = 'light' %}
{% set entities = states[domain] | selectattr('state','eq','on') | map(attribute='entity_id') | list %}
{%- for s in entities -%}
- {{ s }},
{%- endfor %}
- platform: mqtt_room
sensors:
name: "MDL"
device_id: "apple:1006:10-12"
state_topic: "espresense/rooms"
away_timeout: 30
timeout: 5
This give’s me the above error when restarting Home Assistant
Error: Invalid config for ‘sensor’ from integration ‘mqtt_room’ at sensors.yaml, line 96: required key ‘device_id’ not provided
I could be wrong, and often am, but I suspect that the sensors key is not in the mqtt_room platform. Try this:
sensor:
- platform: mqtt_room
name: "MDL"
device_id: "apple:1006:10-12"
state_topic: "espresense/rooms"
away_timeout: 30
timeout: 5
I will.
But then i have to swoop all others also right?
Other what? There’s only one platform: mqtt_room in the yaml file you posted.
Cause my sensors.yaml file is build this way:

Adding this will also error:
sensor:
- platform: mqtt_room
name: "MDL"
device_id: "apple:1006:10-12"
state_topic: "espresense/rooms"
away_timeout: 30
timeout: 5
So i think i need to convert some things but i don’t know exactly how…
No you don’t. Just add that code without the sensor: first line so that you have:
- platform: template
sensors:
[config]
- platform: mqtt_room
[config]
