Remote_homeassistant and RV

[andlo (Andreas Lorensen)]

Hi
I have an RV in which I want to setup a Homeassistant to messure stuff and other things.

But I want to connect it to my home installation and are looking to the remote_homeassistant component. But it seems like the hoe installation connects to the remote installation and not the other way around. And as the remote installation is moving and connects to internet by 4G mobile network it seems nearly imposible for me to do it that way.
So how could I make the connection the other way ?

Or how could I connects the to homeassistants so I can get entitie from RV into my home installation ?

Anyone ?

A “master” would use the built-in MQTT discovery mechanism to subscribe to sta…

As I said:

Install it in your RV instance.

On your master, configure MQTT with the same topic, with discovery enabled.
