MQTT Subscribe service?

Configuration

Hello guys.

I have setup a linux device to communicate to HA on windows PC. I am able to publish to the linux device via publish service but how to I receive the messages broadcast on the topic used from the linux device back to HA?

I dont see a subscribe service

Hey @Rustie0125, got your mqtt running? Nice!

Every mqtt component “subscribes” to a topic you want, or you can trigger directly on a topics payload.

thats not the question. how do i view the incoming message on HA?

There is no display on the HA gui for all mqtt messages. However, I seem to remember that you can display them in the log, if you set the correct component to debug level.

Somewhere, I wrote down what the component was…

You can setup an mqtt sensor for each topic you want to subscribe to

And then, after subscribing how to see those messages?
