Input state (mqtt), output state (mqtt)

    Hi,

    I have question regarding inputs value via MQTT.

    Configuration is like:

    [Blockierte Grafik: https://smarthome-forum.eu/index.php?attachment/24505-pasted-from-clipboard-png/&thumbnail=1]

    MQTT topic / server is also set in settings for MQTT..

    So, currently I can control and see status via MQTT for sensors:

    Relay (1-4)

    Current consumption (1-4)

    Total consumption (1-4)

    Current voltage (1-4)

    But I would like also to have binary status of inputs, so that my smart home (Home Assistant) can do some automations regarding that etc..

    Example of sensors:

    ###### Voltage 1

    - platform: mqtt

    name: "Shelly Pro 4PM - SW1 napetost"

    state_topic: "shellypro4pm-XXXX/status/switch:0"

    unit_of_measurement: "V"

    value_template: "{{ value_json.voltage }}"

    ###### Power 1

    - platform: mqtt

    name: "Shelly Pro 4PM - SW1 poraba"

    unit_of_measurement: "W"

    state_topic: "shellypro4pm-XXXX/status/switch:0"

    value_template: "{{ value_json.apower }}"

    ###### Energy 1

    - platform: mqtt

    name: "Shelly Pro 4PM - SW1 skupaj poraba"

    unit_of_measurement: "kWh"

    icon: mdi:flash-circle

    state_topic: "shellypro4pm-XXXX/status/switch:0"

    value_template: "{{ value_json['aENERGY'].Total }}"

    Example of switch:

    - platform: mqtt

    name: "Shelly Pro 4PM Relay 1"

    unique_id: "shellypro4pm-XXXX-switch-0"

    command_topic: "shellypro4pm-XXXX/rpc"

    payload_on: '{"id": 1, "src":"homeassistant", "method": "Switch.Set", "params": {"id": 0, "on": true}}'

    payload_off: '{"id": 1, "src":"homeassistant", "method": "Switch.Set", "params": {"id": 0, "on": false}}'

    state_topic: "shellypro4pm-XXXX/status/switch:0"

    value_template: "{{ value_json.output }}"

    state_on: true

    state_off: false

    qos: 1

    So, can you help me how to make binary_sensor for inputs. Do I need to use new "mode" scripts to achieve that and how to do that (what would be the script)? I do not know where to find info what would be payload ON and payload OFF, woth that info I can manage to make input mqtt binary sensors..

    Thank you for helping me out... ;)
