Home automation is the residential extension of building automation.

It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.

Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.

Warning: Working with electricity can result in injury, property damage, or even death if it is not done properly. Please keep this in mind while assisting others. If you are not sure about what you are doing, hire a licensed professional.

Hi. Sorry if I sound like a noob when it comes to this. For most home automation things, I'm not, and I'm usually answering other peoples questions here, but for MQTT, I am. So apologies in advance for any wrong terminology. What I would like to do is publish the readings from the temperature sensor and the ultrasonic occupancy sensor on our Amazon echo dot fifth generation devices as MQTT messages. This will allow me to Use the HomeBridge MQTTthing plug-in to add these sensors to HomeKit I think. Is this possible, and how do I do it?
