In a recent video, we demonstrated how to create MQTT sensors to visualize two analog inputs from a Siemens LOGO in home automation systems. We received several questions on how to send control commands from a Home Assistant dashboard to a LOGO. This quick video is here to answer that question.
First, we'll review the MQTT topic payloads configured in our LOGO, then we'll show how to control LOGO digital outputs Q1-Q4 from a Home Assistant dashboard.
As a bonus, we'll also cover two additional topics:
- A useful Visual Studio Code extension that converts complex JSON objects into a clear graphical representation.
- How to use a ZigBee push button to toggle LOGO outputs through Home Assistant automation.
We'd love to hear about the creative projects you're building with Home Assistant and industrial-grade devices like LOGO!
