The MQTT component will register the service `mqtt.publish` which allows publishing messages to MQTT topics. There are two ways of specifying your payload. You can either use `payload` to hard-code a payload or use `payload_template` to specify a [template](/topics/templating/) that will be rendered to generate the payload.
### {% linkable_title Service `mqtt.publish` %}
| Service data attribute | Optional | Description |
| ---------------------- | -------- | ----------- |
| `topic` | no | Topic to publish payload to.
| `payload` | yes | Payload to publish.
| `payload_template` | yes | Template to render as payload value. Ignored if payload given.
| `qos` | yes | Quality of Service to use.
| `retain` | yes | If message should have the retain flag set. (default: false)
<p class='note'>
You need to include either payload or payload_template, but not both.
