I am using an external MQTT Broker and I have it setup in Integrations. It is working. I am able to listen to topics and see responses. In configuration.yaml I have the following:
The problem is that I never see any of these devices get created. If I look under integrations MQTT it does not show anything. I am sure I am missing something small but I am not sure what it is.
Using an external MQTT broker is not an issue- that’s how my system is set up.
I see nothing wrong with your YAML file. (I am YAML-challenged, but your YAML looks a lot like mine).
But, none of my MQTT sensors appear in the Integrations either. Or in devices. Only in entities. And entities is what Lovelace cards work with.
Thanks. I had to search to find them. I was not seeing them under the integrations page and assumed they were not being read. Then under entities I was expecting the Integration to be MQTT not Sensor so that threw me off.
