Beside [HTTP POST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POST_(HTTP)) requests, MQTT is the quickest way (from the author's point of view) to publish information with DIY devices.

You have to make a decision: Do you want to pull or to [poll](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polling_(computer_science) the information for the sensor? For slowly changing values like temperature it's perfectly fine to wait a couple of seconds to retrieve the value. If it's a motion detector the state change should be available instantly in Home Assistant. This means the sensor must take initiative and send the data to Home Assistant.
