Hi

I have installed the ino file on my NodeMCU and have changed the wifi data and mqtt data and I am able to connect to my wifi and mqtt broker.

I am having problems when it comes to HA, as I have created a new automation.yaml file and placed it in the same directory as my configuration.yaml file. I have copied your code which you provided below:

• alias: Motion 1 On
  trigger:
  platform: mqtt
  topic: sensor/motion1
  payload: 'controlOn'
  action:
  service: light.turn_on
  entity_id:
  • light.living_room

and changed the service and entity id to match mine which is:

• alias: Motion 1 On
  trigger:
  platform: mqtt
  topic: sensor/motion1
  payload: 'controlOn'
  action:
  service: switch.turn_on
  entity_id:
  • switch.kitchen_lights

However, nothing works for me. I am using mqtt to turn my kitchen lights on/off and I have them setup as a switch i.e. in my configuration I have them setup like this:

switch:

• platform: mqtt
  name: "Kitchen Lights"
  state_topic: "mydevices/irtransmitter/#"
  command_topic: "mydevices/irtransmitter/sender/NEC/32"
  payload_on: "16712445"
  payload_off: "16712445"
  optimistic: true
  qos: 0
  retain: true

Can you please help?

Thanks.
