MQTT Binary Sensor
</h1>
</header>
<hr class="divider">
<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">mqtt</code> binary sensor platform uses the MQTT message payload as the sensor value. If messages in this <code class="highlighter-rouge">state_topic</code> are published with <em>RETAIN</em> flag, the sensor will receive an instant update with the last known value. Otherwise, the initial state will be off.</p>
<p>To use your MQTT binary sensor in your installation, add the following to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code> file:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="s">binary_sensor</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">mqtt</span>
<span class="s">state_topic</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">home-assistant/window/contact"</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Configuration variables:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>state_topic</strong> (<em>Required</em>): The MQTT topic subscribed to receive sensor values.</li>
<li><strong>name</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The name of the sensor. Default is MQTT Sensor.</li>
<li><strong>qos</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The maximum QoS level of the state topic. Default is 0.</li>
<li><strong>payload_on</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The payload that represents on state. Default is “ON”.</li>
<li><strong>payload_off</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The payload that represents state. Default is “OFF”.</li>
<li><strong>device_class</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The <a href="/components/binary_sensor/">type/class</a> of the sensor to set the icon in the frontend.</li>
<li><strong>value_template</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Defines a <a href="/docs/configuration/templating/#processing-incoming-data">template</a> to extract a value from the payload.</li>
</ul>
<p>For a quick check you can use the commandline tools shipped with <code class="highlighter-rouge">mosquitto</code> to send MQTT messages. Set the state of a sensor manually:</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>mosquitto_pub -h 127.0.0.1 -t home-assistant/window/contact -m <span class="s2">"OFF"</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>An extended configuration for the same sensor could look like this if you want/need to be more specific.</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="s">binary_sensor</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">mqtt</span>
<span class="s">state_topic</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">home-assistant/window/contact"</span>
<span class="s">name</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">Windows</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">contact"</span>
<span class="s">qos</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">0</span>
<span class="s">payload_on</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">1"</span>
<span class="s">payload_off</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">0"</span>
<span class="s">device_class</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">opening</span>
<span class="s">value_template</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s1">'</span><span class="s">{{</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">value.x</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">}}'</span>
