Home Assistant Interface
RoomSense IQ supports the integration of Home Assistant through MQTT auto-discovery protocol. Follow the steps below to create the interface.
Note: Before proceeding, ensure that the MQTT settings are configured correctly as explained on the settings page and that the connection to the broker has been successfully established.
1. Install MQTT Mosquitto Broker add-on and run it on your HA.
2. Navigate to the "Home Assistant Settings" tab and go to "Devices & Services." Find the MQTT integration, click "configure," and then "submit." A device called "RoomSense IQ" will then appear.
3. All entities will then be available under the RoomSense IQ device. Entity names follow this format:
roomsense_iq_<location><type><serial number>
Note: You may need to restart your Home Assistant to view all entities.
The tables below provide details about each entity.
