ALPR detects license plates - but how do I use the MQTT?

Post by Fanan »

Hi!

The APLR function works ok (not great, but ok). If I log in on https://app.platerecognizer.com/dashboard, I can see the results. But I want to be able to use the results in Home Assistant.
For person alerts I have created a MQTT event and that works great. I can use that in HA. But I don't know how to make my license plates to work.
I have under the "Required AI object" written my license plates. I guess this is wrong - but I don't know what else to do. Thankful for any help!

One for support I'm afraid. I've not got started with MQTT yet, and it looks like a steep learning curve :o

Have you tried using &PLATE in payload?

Hi! No, I haven't tried to use &PLATE in payload.
I'll play around and give it a try! Thanks for the input by the way!

Hi! Have you managed to get it working? I just turned this option on as well and was thinking of using someone's research before I do my own :)

More drive by posting I'm afraid. We seldom get the full answer, so how can we help the next person :cry:
