MQTT Light
</h1>
</header>
<hr class="divider">
<p>The <code>mqtt</code> light platform let you control your MQTT enabled light.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>When a state topic is not available, the light will work in optimistic mode. In this mode, the light will immediately change state after every command. Otherwise, the light will wait for state confirmation from device (message from <code>state_topic</code>).</p>
<p>Optimistic mode can be forced, even if state topic is available. Try to enable it, if experiencing incorrect light operation.</p>
<p>To enable a light with brightness and RGB support in your installation, add the following to your <code>configuration.yaml</code> file:</p>

<p>Configuration variables:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>name</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The name of the switch. Default is MQTT Switch.</li>
<li><strong>state_topic</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The MQTT topic subscribed to receive state updates.</li>
<li><strong>command_topic</strong> (<em>Required</em>): The MQTT topic to publish commands to change the switch state.</li>
<li><strong>brightness_state_topic</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The MQTT topic subscribed to receive brightness state updates.</li>
<li><strong>brightness_command_topic</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The MQTT topic to publish commands to change the lights brightness.</li>
<li><strong>rgb_state_topic</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The MQTT topic subscribed to receive RGB state updates.</li>
<li><strong>rgb_command_topic</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The MQTT topic to publish commands to change the lights RGB state.</li>
<li><strong>state_value_template</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Defines a <a href="/getting-started/templating/">template</a> to extract the state value.</li>
<li><strong>brightness_value_template</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Defines a <a href="/getting-started/templating/">template</a> to extract the brightness value.</li>
<li><strong>rgb_value_template</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Defines a <a href="/getting-started/templating/">template</a> to extract the RGB value.</li>
<li><strong>qos</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The maximum QoS level of the state topic. Default is 0 and will also be used to publishing messages.</li>
<li><strong>payload_on</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The payload that represents enabled state. Default is “ON”.</li>
<li><strong>payload_off</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The payload that represents disabled state. Default is “OFF”.</li>
<li><strong>optimistic</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Flag that defines if switch works in optimistic mode. Default is true if no state topic defined, else false.</li>
</ul>
<p class="note warning">
Make sure that your topics match exact. <code>some-topic/</code> and <code>some-topic</code> are different topics.
