 1 | # raspi-pir-mqtt-homeassistant
 2 | Simple script to read PIR sensor on Raspberry Pi and publish to MQTT, for use in HomeAssistant.
 3 | 
 4 | Instructions:
 5 | * Uses Paho MQTT library & process managed by forever
 6 | * Connect PIR sensor to 5v, Ground, and GPIO 4 on the Raspberry Pi
 7 | * Edit the script with your MQTT password, username, and host IP. You change the PIR GPIO if you hooked up to a different one
 8 | * forever start -c python3 raspi-pir-mqtt.py
 9 | 
10 | In Home Assistant, using the MQTT Binary Sensor component:
11 | https://home-assistant.io/components/binary_sensor.mqtt/
12 | 
13 | ```yaml
14 | binary_sensor:
15 |   - platform: mqtt
16 |     state_topic: "CHANNEL/Motion/Switch"
17 |     device_class: motion
18 |     payload_on: "1"
19 |     payload_off: "0"
20 |     name: "Motion Sensor"
21 | ```
