Question: Multiple output statements about mqtt-io HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi, you're very welcome and I'm glad it's useful for you!

I'm not 100% sure I understand your setup, but I'll try answering anyway. To configure it for multiple digital outputs, you can use one digital_output section and list each output under it, something like this:

mqtt:
  host: 192.xxx.xxx.xxx
  port: 1883
  user: "redacted"
  password: "redacted"
  topic_prefix: bedroom/ceiling-fan

gpio_modules:
  - name: raspberrypi
    module: raspberrypi

digital_outputs:
  - name: speed-1
    module: raspberrypi
    pin: 17
    on_payload: "ON"
    off_payload: "OFF"

  - name: speed-2
    module: raspberrypi
    pin: 18
    on_payload: "ON"
    off_payload: "OFF"

  - name: lights
    module: raspberrypi
    pin: 23
    on_payload: "ON"
    off_payload: "OFF"

Then a publish to bedroom/ceiling-fan/output/speed-1/set with payload of ON should turn on pin 17, and a publish to bedroom/ceiling-fan/output/speed-2/set with payload of ON should turn on pin 18 etc.

Does that answer your question?

I'd be interested to see the how-to once it's done - stick a link in this issue and I'll check it out :)

Thanks for the answer! The topics posted on the commandline after the server start seems right. I'll keep you posted about the how-to, still figuring out how to get mqtt and Home Assistant to play nicely together 😁

Excellent. Good luck!
