The `mqtt_eventstream` component connects two Home Assistant instances via MQTT.
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 variables:
- **publish_topic** (*Optional*): Topic for publishing local events
- **subscribe_topic** (*Optional*): Topic to receive events from the remote server.
## Multiple Instances
Events from multiple instances can be aggregated to a single master instance by subscribing to a wildcard topic from the master instance.
```yaml
# Example master instance configuration.yaml entry
mqtt_eventstream:
publish_topic: master/topic
subscribe_topic: slaves/#
```
For a multiple instance setup, each slave would publish to their own topic.
```yaml
# Example slave instance configuration.yaml entry
mqtt_eventstream:
publish_topic: slaves/upstairs
subscribe_topic: master/topic
```
```yaml
# Example slave instance configuration.yaml entry
mqtt_eventstream:
publish_topic: slaves/downstairs
subscribe_topic: master/topic
```
