How to Enter \ in a multiple keys command

I have a shortcut on my PC that uses SHIFT + \ However, as HASS Agent uses \ as an escape tool, how can I format the string so it enters them correctly?...

Default Audio Device Mute Sensor

So, I'm trying to check the status of my audio to see if it's muted at night as part of bedtime. To mute PC if not muted yet... but the sensor only gives me the states unknown or unavailable... not true or false. whereas when I look at it on the mqtt devices I see true or false. How can I fix this?

Repository removed from HACS

I'm getting this message. Is there a new version of the custom integration that you guys control? Is this integration used for anything? If so, what steps should I take here to secure the data I have?

MonitorPowerState status not changing on MQTT after waking up

But it was working erratically (mostly never, but sometimes it does work) and I¡ve been trying to figure out why. So I installed MQTT Explorer an realised this:...

I can't see Media Player

Hello! I'm trying to see media player in Home Assistant, but unfortunately the HASS Agent's device of my PC is 'unavailable'. The MQTT stuff works and I can transmit sensors data and send signals to PC just fine. It's just that the HASS Agent device appears to be 'unavailable'....

Satellite purpose and utility

Please explain me what is the real satellite purpose at this state. - It duplicate things that agent do too like : MQTT, sensors and actions - When runed without client : availability go online for less than one second and go back offline - It can't be installed stand-alone without agent so why it duplicate thing if at final state it can't be used stand-alone ?...

Can't run commands from Satellite Service

The Satellite Service will not run any commands (in particular displayswitch.exe), no matter what I do with it. Have tried powershell commands and other simple ones, nothing seems to execute. There's an MQTT connection and everything shows ok, but triggering the command button does nothing. Using the main app hass.agent commands function works fine for the exact same commands. Which makes it frustrating. Anyone able to help? Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. As per https://github.com/hass-agent/HASS.Agent/issues/316...

Notifications and other configurations not working as intended.

Recently, my notifications have not worked. I have tried the test notification and my notifications for the app are enabled in the settings. I was looking through the logs, and I also noticed a previous log being filled with a bunch of things, too.

TV powering off after pcsleep hass command

I have sleep working using the HASS agent in taskbar on my PC, what I wanted was to have my TV power off also when I hit sleep from within Home Assistant. I created an automation within HA and it works but on waking the PC with a kb press and switching TV on with remote the TV will then power off after a few seconds. It seems like it thinks the PC is going in to sleep after it is waking? Any help appreciated....

How to install and configure MQTT broker on Home Assistant running in Docker?

Hi, in the documentation (https://www.hass-agent.io/2.0/getting-started/installation/) there is a video on how to install a MQTT add-on in Home Assistant. But I'm running Home Assistant in Docker on Raspberry Pi OS, so no add-ons are available. What should I do to make HASS.Agent work?

Solution:

If you setup a standalone mqtt docker image and setup home assistant mqtt integration to connect to the standalone container it should work. Just make sure the port is exposed through docker and it can be accessed from the home assistant container. The home assistant mqtt add-on is literally just a docker container which sets up the mqtt integration automatically. https://hub.docker.com/_/eclipse-mosquitto
