Configure MQTT on Tasmota

Configure your MQTT Server in Tasmota. See Tasmota MQTT Documentation for more details.

Please leave the Full Topic as it is in default configuration (and on the screenshot).

Change the topic to something unique for your panel, you will need this topic later in the configuration of your panel in appdaemon / apps.yaml

Note for Appdeamon Addon Version >= 15

The configuration has been moved out of the config folder from homeassistant. This is how you can access it with the VSCode Addon.

Configure MQTT Connection on AppDaemon

For the app to work you need a working MQTT Configuration in AppDaemon. Please add the configuration of your mqtt server, user and password to your existing appdaemon.yaml Restart your AppDaemon Container (not HomeAssistant) after adding the MQTT Configuration.

You will find this file in the following location: /addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon/appdaemon.yaml (if using Home Assistant Addon)

If you are migrating from AppDaemon Addon < v 0.15.0, your configuration folders should have been automatically moved by the addon. However, if it wasn't or if you prefer to have your configuration files stored elsewhere include the following yaml:

appdaemon:
  app_dir: /homeassistant/appdaemon/apps/ # !!! This would point to /config/appdaemon/apps in your Home Assistant instance.

Configure NsPanel on AppDaemon

Please add the following minimal configuration to your apps.yaml, which is located in /addon_configs/a0d7b954_appdaemon/apps/apps.yaml (if using Home Assistant Addon).

Note: You need to move your apps.yaml to this location if it isn't there.

Please adjust tasmota_your_mqtt_topic to the topic used in Tasmota MQTT Configuration.

If your configuration is correct you should get the following screens on your panel:

Note: You can add multiple panels to this configuration:
