hello all,
i would like to integrate a sensor via mqtt. the data is sent from an electricity meter to an external mqtt server. this is protected via username and password.
can i define a mqtt sensor in home assistant and include this topic as sensor? I can at least listen to the topic via the HA mqtt integration and get the correct values, but is it also possible via configuration.yaml? I run HA as a pure docker installation
sensor:
- platform: mqtt
name: "Strombezug"
state_topic: "vzlogger/data/chn0/raw"
unit_of_measurement: kW
