Xiaomi BLE Probe - Publishing to MQTT

Third party integrations
1

I’m starting to use HomeAssistant.

HA was installed with Docker on Synology DS220+ DSM 6
Core 2024.2.2 / UI 20240207.1

For the moment, I have mainly retrieved the information from the Xiaomi probes using the Passive BLE monitor integration

I have a Mosquitto broker and I wanted to publish probe information on my Brocker MQTT

I read the doc which indicates that the equipment must be added to the configuration.yaml file

But I must not be doing things correctly because MQTT Explorer does not retrieve any information, except for the correct communication with HA in the Online status.

I have several examples of creating MQTT numbers, buttons, etc in my Octoprint blueprint. Link to my blueprints is below in my tagline.

To get these fine tuned I use mqtt-explorer to monitor what the broker sees and tweak what is sent until the broker sees valid JSON. (It will be in color if its happy)

That’s nice, but I already can’t figure out how to use publishing to MQTT
