Turning sensors into lights for MQTT Hub

maxpd · December 19, 2024, 8:45pm

Hi there,

I set up a mosquito server in HA and a MQTT client in my main smart home system iobroker to get the data from there into HA. In the configuration.yaml I set up several MQTT sensors, which are transferring the data of the specific devices.

mqtt:
  sensor:
    - name: "ioBroker Hochlampe"
      state_topic: "iobroker/Hochlampe_Büro/Helligkeit"
      unique_id: "io_hochlampe_br"

Data transfer is working

Now, I also installed MatterHub to get the devices into my Google Home, but it seems as MatterHub doesn’t recognize sensors, despite temperature.

Is there a way to transfer the imported sensor, for example into a light which would be recognizable by MatterHub. For example via some kind of Alias or mirroring. I am aware that this isn’t a nice solution or am I not using MatterHub correctly? Other devices which are directly integrated into HA are getting found by MatterHub

This one is found

of these 2 marked with the label iobroker, which is set on the include list of Matter Hub
