Hi I have a setup with Home Assistant running in Docker on my Synology NAS. Now I would like to import the sensors I have in Home Assistant (Alarm sensors from from my DSC alarm system via Envisalink) to Homey. I have installed the Mosquitto Broker on my Synology, installed MQTT Client and MQTT Hub on my Homey and setup MQTT in Home Assistant using this guide: > [@\[TUTORIAL\] Setting up MQTT on Homey for configuring Home Assistant for dashboard purposes](https://community.homey.app/t/tutorial-setting-up-mqtt-on-homey-for-configuring-home-assistant-for-dashboard-purposes/10880): > > Hi, i would like to share instructions of how to setup MQTT on Homey to make your devices visible in Home Assistant with a Synology NAS. Thanks a lot to @HarriedeGroot for creating the MQTT Hub, @scanno for the MQTT Client (and Broker, which unfortunately will not be included in this tutorial since my setup is on a Synology NAS with Mosquitto as a broker) and @Gustav_Tillback for initially sharing the first steps in creating this setup which will be explained in further detail below DISCLAIMER\*… But the guide is for importing devices into Home Assistant from Homey, but I want it the other way around. Is there anyone that could help me with this setup? Thank you. ---

Thank you, but I’m sorry, I don’t understand. “Install the application on your Homey and then go into the application settings.” what application, and how? ---

> [@\[HOW TO\] CLI install method](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-cli-install-method/198): > > Homey Pro only!!! It does not work this way with Homey (cloud), it only supports CLI run which is there only for development purposes. Installing Node.js Check Node.js version on Homey: Homey App: Settings - General - About - Node.js version Download Node.js (use Homey’s version or higher) from [https://nodejs.org/](https://nodejs.org/) and install it on your computer. Download the app you want to install from GitHub Go to the repository on [GitHub](https://github.com/) (the correct link for the app you want to install is at the bottom… It’s a bit DIY, but if you’ve managed home assistant, it shouldn’t be too hard… FYI, i don’t use this app myself… ---

@Kfk Do your sensors from HA update in Homey? If I start the App it shows correct values, but they don’t seem to update. UPDATE They update fine after a PTP ---

I only have binary sensors but they update with no delay ---

Looking for missing [https://github.com/rogro82/io.homeassistant/blob/master/custom\_component/homey.py](https://github.com/rogro82/io.homeassistant/blob/master/custom_component/homey.py). Also any guidance to install on HA. Assume you create custom\_components folder (with python script) under ./config and restart HA? Thanks all. Cc/ @Kfk @Eternity ---

BTW got this working with little effort and it’s awesome! I have several devices that don’t have native Homey integration but they are available in HA. With this custom integration, they work a treat. Thanks @rogro82 ---

Hi there, working this out myself, what do you mean by PTP? ---

How did you get this working? We are missing: ttps://github.com/rogro82/io.homeassistant/blob/master/custom\_component/homey.py So sensors are visible in Homey but are not updating, please elaborate 🙂 ---

Do any of you running this app on v5 ?
