This 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.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
device_tracker:
|
|
platform: mqtt
|
|
qos: 1
|
|
devices:
|
|
paulus_oneplus: /location/paulus
|
|
annetherese_n4: /location/annetherese
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **devices** (*Required*): List of devices with their topic.
