Advanced use of Home Assistant

By mvuilleu november 17,2023.

In our series of posts on using Yoctopuce modules with Home Assistant, we're going to show you how to integrate the more advanced functions of Yoctopuce modules, which are not directly offered by MQTT discovery. This will enable you, for example, to control a Neopixel RGB LED panel from Home Assistant, display information on an external Yoctopuce screen, or control an external device via an RS-485 link.
