The `mqtt_eventstream` integration connects two Home Assistant instances via MQTT.
## Configuration
To integrate MQTT Eventstream into Home Assistant, add the following section to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
mqtt_eventstream:
publish_topic: MyServerName
subscribe_topic: OtherHaServerName
```
{% configuration %}
publish_topic:
description: Topic for publishing local events.
required: false
type: string
subscribe_topic:
description: Topic to receive events from the remote server.
required: false
type: string
ignore_event:
description: List of [events](/docs/configuration/events/) which will not be sent over mqtt.
required: false
type: list
{% endconfiguration %}
## Multiple Instances
Events from multiple instances can be aggregated to a single parent instance by subscribing to a wildcard topic from the parent instance.
```yaml
# Example parent instance configuration.yaml entry
mqtt_eventstream:
publish_topic: parent/topic
subscribe_topic: child/#
ignore_event:
- call_service
- state_changed
```
For a multiple instance setup, each child instance would publish to their own topic.
```yaml
# Example child instance configuration.yaml entry
mqtt_eventstream:
publish_topic: child/upstairs
subscribe_topic: parent/topic
```
```yaml
# Example child instance configuration.yaml entry
mqtt_eventstream:
publish_topic: child/downstairs
subscribe_topic: parent/topic
```
