# HomeAssistant MQTT Components Binding
HomeAssistant MQTT Components are recognized as well. The base topic needs to be **homeassistant**.
The mapping is structured like this:
| HA MQTT | Framework | Example MQTT topic |
| ------------------------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| Object | Thing | `homeassistant/../../object` |
| Component+Node | Channel Group | `homeassistant/component/node/object` |
| &rarr; Component Features | Channel | `state/topic/defined/in/comp/config` |
## Requirements
The HomeAssistant MQTT requires two transformations to be installed:
* JINJA-Transformations
* JSONPath-Transformations
These can be installed under `Settings` &rarr; `Addon` &rarr; `Transformations`
## Limitations
* The HomeAssistant Fan Components only support ON/OFF.
* The HomeAssistant Cover Components only support OPEN/CLOSE/STOP.
* The HomeAssistant Light Component only supports RGB color changes.
* The HomeAssistant Climate Components is not yet supported.
## Tasmota auto discovery
To activate HomeAssistant discovery support on your Tasmota device you need to do the following:
* `Configuration` &rarr; `MQTT`: You must have unique `Client` name and `Topic` (should be the default).
* `Configuration` &rarr; `Other`: The `Device Name` will be used to identify the newly found device.
And you need to enable MQTT, of course.
* `Console`: Enter `SetOption19 1`.
Your Tasmota device should now show up in your inbox.
