I am new at this MQTT stuff. I am trying to get my home assistant setup with my davis weather station and the only way I can fig it out is with MQTT.
I have a local mqtt server running and my weather display does have a connection to it. and on the home assistant side I do have MQTT running. But I don’t have a clue what would be next. any help would be greatfull
Go to the Home assistant forum and search for mqtt and weather display. I made the first entry and it should give you a place to start.
I maintain an MQTT page and I might be able to help. I am not familiar with Home Assistant however, so if that is the issue I will be of no use. My page is simply using WD and cronmqtt to generate the details and the broker displays them.
You can (hopefully) see my page at: MQTT Environment Dashboard
I also followed the forum edhall mentioned and it worked out great. WD will push the values to HA and it’s rock solid. Let me know if you need any help. I only push a few values into HA for automations but the skies the limit. Wind gusts to pull in awnings, battery low on console, pool temp from extra sensor etc
