MQTT integration

To make your robot talk to your MQTT broker and integrate with home automation software, such as but not limited to Home Assistant, openHAB and Node-RED, configure MQTT via Valetudo’s web interface (Settings → MQTT).

Autodiscovery

See the specific integration pages for instructions on how to set up autodiscovery for your home automation software platform:

Other home automation software that follows the Homie convention should also be able to automatically discover your Valetudo instance.



Map

Note that, in order to view the map provided over MQTT, you additionally need I Can’t Believe It’s Not Valetudo to generate PNG maps. You can then configure it to serve the PNG map over HTTP for openHAB and other software, or install the Lovelace Valetudo Card Map for Home Assistant.

Custom integrations

If you’re planning to use one of the home automation platforms listed above, this is all you need to know to get started.

If you’re instead planning to do something more custom, in this document you will find a reference to all MQTT topics provided by this software. Values such as <TOPIC PREFIX> and <IDENTIFIER> are those configured in the MQTT settings page.

Map data

Node

This handle groups access to map data. It is only enabled if provideMapData is enabled in the MQTT config.

Map (map)

Property, readable, retained

This handle is only enabled if interfaces.homie.addICBINVMapProperty is enabled in the config. It does not actually provide map data, it only adds a Homie autodiscovery property so that ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Valetudo’ can publish its map within the robot’s topics and be autodetected by clients.

ICBINV should be configured so that it publishes the map to this topic.
