Subscribe to External MQTT Topic

[jmason9836]

I am having a hard time wrapping my head around how to subscribe to an MQTT topic from my Govee dehumidifier.

Here is the documentation from Govee:

Subscribe Device Event

My best attempt is below, but it’s obviously not working. I’m not sure what the topic is that I should be subscribing to and beyond that, not even 100% sure how to set it up. Also, is the authentication that Govee’s docs are asking for valid for this use case?

I have Mosquito broker setup and working and I see the dehumidifier in there.

mqtt:
  - binary_sensor:
      name: "Dehumidifier Full"
      state_topic: "notSureWhatGoesHere"
      payload_on: "on"
      qos: 0
      value_template: "{{ value_json.capabilities.state.value }}"
