The main problems I’m facing with Homey are: There is no ‘customizable dashboard’ (yet). I’d like to create some more advanced flows (with PID controllers, multiple in- & outputs, share (sub-)flows, inject script, etc.), without losing the overview (all in one screen). The ease of integrating Home…

You can also use MQTT devices to create virtual devices with capabilities bound to MQTT topics.

were can I find the information to create virtual devices and bound those MQTT topics? [Schermafbeelding 2023-08-07 om 15.11.43] I can add this to my homey, but don’t know how to proceed.

You can’t see the buttons at the bottom of the wizard. Try clicking in the right lower corner to proceed.

Thanks, if everything would be that simple :slight_smile: I found the button and fixed it! I can control my lights now! I am really happy now.

I was wondering if it’s possible to add capabilities that are not in the dropdown when adding a custom MQTT device? I’m tinkering with a mmWave presence detector connected to an ESP32 microcontroller and I programmed MQTT publishing to Homey on it using the Arduino IDE. This app seems to be the ide…

Funny, I hadn’t even thought of adding it to HA directly instead of adding it to Homey first (and then read the values in HA). Probably because I use Homey for all the logic for flows and use HA mainly for my dashboard, so Home Assistant has almost no device added directly added to it but communica…

[image] Janbuijs91: Wouldn’t there be any noticable lag if you add a sensor to HA first and then send its values to Homey for use in flows instead of adding it to Homey directly? No, it works in real time.

Well, you’ll be surprised. As example, most of my zigbee devices respond around 1s quicker than using native Homey (2019) zigbee, but when you look at the steps below it you’d expect the opposite: Zigbee motion sensor event > zigbee2mqtt add-on > wifi > Homey flow gets triggered and sends a command…

I could not find an answer to my question in this topic. I have a door contact sensor connected through MQTT. The state of this contact sensor is “open” or “closed”. The option isn’t available in MQTT hub, but in JSON code? [Schermafbeelding 2023-08-15 om 09.30.47] I tried some values, but no suc…

With the Home Assistant Community app, you can add HA devices as you like, add and remove entities from a device as well
