Not showing up in HA
Closed this issue · 11 comments
Brand new to HA, which I just recently installed ( Home Assistant 2023.1.5 Supervisor 2022.12.1 Operating System 9.4 Frontend 20230110.0 - latest). User has advanced permissions. Added repo per instructions via addon store/repositories. Don't see anything related to this addon after doing so. If I go back to "repositories", it shows "Bluetti2MQTT" installed, but I don't know how to access it. There isn't an icon added or anything on the addon page related to the addon and searching "bluetti" in the addons yields 0 results. I do have the warhammerkid/bluetti-mtqq tool already manually installed (and running) on that rpi4 which is providing data. I just wanted to more easily control it via HA and be sure it's always running in the background and restarts if there is an issue. What am I doing wrong?
If I go back to "repositories", it shows "Bluetti2MQTT"
It sounds like you haven't installed it - Only added it to repo list. You still need to click on Bluetti2MQTT and then install.
Thank you for the prompt reply. I guess that's where I'm stuck. The only place I see anything related to Bluetti2MQTT in HA is on the repo list page, and clicking on it there doesn't do anything (unless click on trash can to remove repo). I was thinking after adding the repo it would add an icon to the store like all others, such as grafana, that I would click to install it, but I don't see anything listed on the addon store page after adding the repo. There is nothing related under the "Official add-ons" section, "ESPHome" section or "Home Assistant Community Add-ons" section.
Supervisor Log shows it installed...

In addon store, using "search" function, for anything starting with "blu" including "Bluetti2MQTT" I get:
No results found in Official add-ons.
No results found in ESPHome
No results found in Home Assistant Community Add-ons.
Just tried it myself and it didn't show up until I cleared my app / browser cache. Might be a bug in the latest HA version.
Arg. Yep, that cleared it up. Thank you!
I noticed there isn't a port parameter in the config options - do you just append it to the MQTT host with a colon like 1.2.3.4:1883
Hello,
config:
HA os 9.4
VM virtualbox
Mosquito broker running
With other device on it
(Previously i was connecting on the Windows Shell with the command bluetti-mqtt …)
just to well understand:
I have data coming in the log but no entity created, how can i use the data?
'device_type': 'AC300', 'serial_number': xxxxxxxxx, 'arm_version': Decimal('4037.05'), 'dsp_version': Decimal('4036.02'), 'dc_input_power': 0, 'ac_input_power': 202, 'ac_output_power': 167, 'dc_output_power': 0, 'power_generation': Decimal('3.9'), 'total_battery_percent': 10, 'ac_output_on': True, 'dc_output_on': False}
{'ac_output
thanks

No, that will not work. The port defaults to 1883. I've added the port parameter to the config options page in version 1.0.5.

The author of bluetti_mqtt has chosen not to set up MQTT Discovery for every available sensor (there are a lot of them).
If you would like to use the additional data values you can simply configure an MQTT sensor in Home Assistant by adding it to your configuration.yaml.
Another option is to edit mqtt_client.py and configure MQTT Discovery for that particular value - which is beyond the scope of this addon.
I've added the port parameter to the config options page in version 1.0.5.
Thank you so much. Everything seems to be working just fine :)
Thank you for the feedback.
I'm not a specialist in python or HA(just start one monte ago):
For the discovery of the sensor ok for that=> it is possible to modify this value in HA?
After without the additional sensor i don't have the basic one as entity and mosquito don't find any thing but in the log I'm seeing i getting the data.
It sounds like you've configured the Mosquitto broker correctly if you are seeing data in the logs. Have you set up the Home Assistant MQTT integration? That is how the data received by HA.

Yes it's settup with 4 devices and also previous ac300 connection by shell command on the host system of the HA.
But it wasn't working like a service so a lot of deconnection.
Why try to find a solution directly in HA with some automation to restart if need.
