The purpose of this app is for those who maybe do not want or need the excellent Hass agent https://github.com/LAB02-Research/HASS.Agent

It will provide some simple metrics like CPU and RAM usage, and some commands via MQTT to allow you to turn off / reboot / put into standby your PC

This will create a device with several sensors and switches in HomeAssistant via the MQTT integration:

Whilst testing I suggest you use the "Confirm Power Actions" checkbox to stop yourself inadvertantly powering off your computer!

pc2mqtt's Issues

Experiencing some weirdness with first setup

Entering the MQTT broker and saving the app shows it cannot connect to NULL.

After that, i entered the IP:1883 (because i figured since there is no port setting, maybe the port should be added). It crashed.

After starting again and wanting to shoot a screenshot, it worked after I removed the 1883. Now it is connected.

Power commands rather use buttons instead of switch

I see the power commands are pushed as switches. I think buttons should be better since you are not waking the system up on turning the power action 'off' right?

ps. last one for tonight! good work!!!

Unknown sensors

The program is connected:

But sensors stay empty:
