The MQTT component will register the service `publish` which allows publishing messages to MQTT topics. There are two ways of specifying your payload. You can either use `payload` to hard-code a payload or use `payload_template` to specify a [template](/topics/templating/) that will be rendered to generate the payload.

|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"topic": "home-assistant/light/1/command",
|
|
"payload": "on"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"topic": "home-assistant/light/1/state",
|
|
"payload_template": "{% raw %}{{ states('device_tracker.paulus') }}{% endraw %}"
|
|
}
|
|
```
