Add devices with MQTT Auto Discovery
Let new devices appear automatically in Home Assistant.
Enable Auto Discovery, activate the remote control or sensor, then disable Auto Discovery. Use Clear IDs only when you want to rediscover all devices.
Step-by-step plan
- Check on the compatibility page which protocol belongs to your device.
- Enable only the required receive protocol on the RFX web page or in RFXmngr.
- Temporarily enable Auto Discovery when using MQTT.
- Activate the remote control or sensor, or add the device manually with the correct MQTT topic.
- Test the controls in Home Assistant and then disable Auto Discovery again.
Tip
Use a fixed IP configuration, a unique Hostname/MQTT Client name and a good 5V/2A power supply for the most stable operation.
