This generic sensor implementation uses the MQTT message payload as the sensor value. If messages in this state_topic are published with RETAIN flag, the sensor will receive an instant update with last known value. Otherwise, the initial state will be undefined.

  platform: mqtt
  name: "MQTT Sensor"
  state_topic: "home/bedroom/temperature"
  unit_of_measurement: "°C"
  • name: The name of the sensor. Default is 'MQTT Sensor'. Optional
  • state_topic: The MQTT topic subscribed to receive sensor values. Required
  • unit_of_measurement: Defines the units of measurement of the sensor, if any. Optional
