Presence Detection
Configurable 0.7.3

The mqtt device tracker platform allows you to detect presence by monitoring an MQTT topic for new locations. To use this platform, you specify a unique topic for each device.

Configuration

To use this device tracker in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
  - platform: mqtt
    devices:
      paulus_oneplus: 'location/paulus'
      annetherese_n4: 'location/annetherese'

{% configuration %} devices: description: List of devices with their topic. required: true type: list qos: description: The QoS level of the topic. required: false type: integer {% endconfiguration %}

Usage

Example JSON you can publish to the topic (e.g., via mqtt.publish service):

{
  "topic": "location/paulus",
  "payload": "home"
}
