The topic for each entity is different, so you can easily subscribe other systems to just the entities you are interested in.
The topic will be in the form `base_topic/domain/entity/state`.
For example, with the example configuration above, if an entity called 'light.master_bedroom_dimmer' is turned on, this component will publish `on` to `homeassistant/light/master_bedroom_dimmer/state`.
For example, with the example configuration above, if an entity called 'light.master_bedroom_dimmer' is turned on, this component will publish `on` to `homeassistant/light/master_bedroom_dimmer/state`.
If that entity also has an attribute called `brightness`, the component will also publish the value of that attribute to `homeassistant/light/master_bedroom_dimmer/brightness`.
The last_updated and last_changed values for the entity will be published to `homeassistant/light/master_bedroom_dimmer/last_updated` and `homeassistant/light/master_bedroom_dimmer/last_changed`, respectively. The timestamps are in ISO 8601 format - for example, `2017-10-01T23:20:30.920969+00:00`.
