Entities and Controls

Entities and Controls

The integration exposes both monitoring entities and control entities.

Monitoring

Examples of included telemetry:

• repeater version and update status
• uptime, memory use, database size, metrics history size
• packet totals, RX and forwarded rates, airtime, RSSI, SNR, CRC errors
• MQTT handler status and one binary sensor per broker
• ACL totals and companion state
• room statistics
• GPS diagnostics when available from the repeater API

Control entities

Examples of included controls:

• buttons:
  • send advert
  • restart repeater service
  • vacuum metrics database
  • check for updates
  • install latest update
• select:
  • repeater mode
  • update channel
• switches:
  • duty cycle enforcement
  • advert rate limit
  • advert penalty box
  • advert adaptive control
  • allow unscoped flood
• numbers:
  • max airtime percent
  • advert tuning and rate-limit values

Dynamic entities

Some entities are created from live repeater data at setup time, including:

• MQTT brokers
• companions
• room servers
• route types
• database table counters

If those change later in pyMC, reload the integration in Home Assistant.
