 ## Building on top of MQTT
 
-There are two ways to integrate MQTT into your process. One is by using the [MQTT-automation rule](/components/automation.html#mqtt-based-automation). The other one is by integrating it into a component. See the [MQTT example component](https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/blob/dev/config/custom_components/mqtt_example.py) how to do this.

 As this requires access to the GPIO, you will need to run Home Assistant as root.

+This generic sensor implementation uses the MQTT message payload
+as the sensor value. If messages in this state_topic are published
+with RETAIN flag, the sensor will receive an instant update with
+last known value. Otherwise, the initial state will be undefined.

+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yml entry
+sensor:
+  platform: mqtt
+  name: "MQTT Sensor"
+  state_topic: "home/bedroom/temperature"
+  unit_of_measurement: "ºC"

+state_topic: The MQTT topic subscribed to receive sensor values. *Required*

+In an ideal scenario, the MQTT device will have a state topic to publish
+state changes. If these messages are published with RETAIN flag, the MQTT
+switch will receive an instant state update after subscription and will
+start with correct state. Otherwise, the initial state of the switch will
+be false/off.
+
+When a state topic is not available, the switch will work in optimistic mode.
+In this mode, the switch will immediately change state after every command.
+Otherwise, the switch will wait for state confirmation from device
+(message from state_topic).
+
+Optimistic mode can be forced, even if state topic is available.
+Try to enable it, if experiencing incorrect switch operation.
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yml entr
+switch:
+  platform: mqtt
+  name: "Bedroom Switch"
+  state_topic: "home/bedroom/switch1"
+  command_topic: "home/bedroom/switch1/set"

+  payload_off: "OFF"
+  optimistic: false
+```
+
+command_topic: The MQTT topic to publish commands to change the switch state. *Required*
+
+name: The name of the switch. Default is 'MQTT Switch'. *Optional*
+
+state_topic: The MQTT topic subscribed to receive state updates. *Optional*
+
+payload_on: The payload that represents enabled state. Default is "ON". *Optional*
+
+payload_off: The payload that represents disabled state. Default is "OFF". *Optional*
+
+optimistic: Flag that defines if switch works in optimistic mode. Default is true if no state topic defined, else false. *Optional*
