The MQTT component will register the service `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.

{% raw %}
```json
{
"topic": "home-assistant/light/1/state",
"payload_template": "{% raw %}{{ states('device_tracker.paulus') }}{% endraw %}"
"payload_template": "{{ states('device_tracker.paulus') }}"
}
```
{% endraw %}
`payload` must be a string. If you want to send JSON then you need to format/escape it properly. Like:
```json
{
"topic": "home-assistant/light/1/state",
"payload":"{\"Status\":\"off\", \"Data\":\"something\"}"
}
```
