Solar Assistant to Home Assistant

Hi
I have my SA showing in Mqtt explorer when I connect to its IP address but its not showing up in the HA IP address in MQTT explorer


Solar Assistant has its own MQTT broker.
If you want to use it with the HA mosquitto addon, see Home Assistant broker setup with SolarAssistant

Tried that its not working. Like I said its showing on MQTT Explorer they are not actually showing in HA

What did you try that didn’t work? The bridge mode I linked?
Your screenshots show 2 different MQTT broker. SA publishing to one (its own), and the HA one…

You have to make bridge mode work to have your SA stuff in HA…

EDIT: Actually, the homeassistant topic number is identical on both, so your bridge mode seems to work.

What do you have in, e.g., “homeassistant/sensor/battery_1(or whatever an actual sensor name)/config”?

“smb” as root topic for SA doesn’t seem to be the default…


they are showing up in mqtt explorer for HA just not showing in MQTT on HA

  1. Check that the topic referenced in the config topic is correct (“smb”?)
  2. Please show the “solar_assistant.conf” file you created on the HA broker

connection SolarAssist
remote_username sauser
remote_password sauser
address 192.168.0.126
topic sa/# both 2
topic homeassistant/# both 2

You seem to use “smb” as MQTT prefix for solar assistant, not “sa”

how do i change that? sorry for the stupid questions (just in the solar assistant.conf file) I can do that


this is my settings in solar assistant

thank you its working now really sorry for the really stupid questions
