How to setup multiple printers?
Ali229 opened this issue · 4 comments
What were you doing?
- Add mqtt and discovery plugin to octoprint instances
- They get succesfully discovered in home assistant
What did you expect to happen?
Able to see data of each printer correctly/seperately
What happened instead?
The printers that get added after the first one just show the data of the the first one
Version of OctoPrint
1.8.6
Version of the MQTT plugin
0.8.13
Used MQTT broker and its version
Mosquitto broker
Current version: 6.1.3

I'm not sure how the discovery plugin works, but you could edit the topic in the MQTT settings to be able to identify each separately.
I have tried changing the base topic attachment:
But then all printers become unavailable on home assistant attachment:
Never mind I had to change the topic on octoprint, delete the instance of mqtt on home assistant, and then change the discovery name on octoprint to make it rediscover on home assistant, very gimmicky but worked.
