I've been trying to figure this out, but i cannot talk to my computer over MQTT by sending notifications or anything.

To add I got the local API to work just fine
Also MQTT works on HA and i can send and monitor messages
Delete the integration and follow the new guide to fix the error
Installation - Hass Agent Documentation
Access your homeassistant from any windows machine - send notifications, collect data and automate repetitive tasks
update i got it communicating with everything except notifications
and media player
Using the new integration?
yes
reinstalled more than once and restarted ha
Hmm, could you send a scrshot of the hacs page?
Do you have mqtt explorer? Windows app
no
Could you download it and connect to Ur broker to check if the topics are being broadcast correctly
I just used a mobile app as I'm on my phone and here's what it captured for a couple minutes. I was subscribed to everything.
Other than the ones I manually put (sensors and such) none of the entity's or notification services show up in ha
sorry i cant really read any of that, could you just send a scrshot of the 'readable' text, the ? characters are data for images so dont include it
Sometimes you have to open the image in your browser as discord likes to show a low resolution one in the app
Idk it's a discord thing
yeah but the ? one was weirdly blurry even in browser
Yah my phone didn't like having a ss that big and compressed the crap out of it
Can you go into settings > notifications and click
test notification
if nothing happens then check notification permsyes that works
Idk what to fo
Do*
hm
to have a proper look we'd need to go the path proposed by DrR0x
so MQTTExplorer and then looking if the mqtt message is properly posted
and follow with that
because if the test notification is showing correctly there is not a lot that can go wrong except for connection between HA and HASS.Agent via MQTT
So i got it all working. I just removed everything off my pc and ha and reinstalled it all. The one thing that tripped me up in the docs on the "latest" branch is you don't have the new integration setup but it is on the "beta" branch. Other than that I was able to get everything up and running without issue.
