Stumbling at the threshold

I set up Home Assistant largely so I could try out this plugin, and I'm finding I need a bit more hand-holding than the documentation here supplies, perhaps just because I don't really know my way around Home Assistant yet.

Access token. It took a good bit of searching around to find that I could generate that on my profile page (didn't even know I had a profile page).

Home Assistant Discovery prefix: This should be... "homeassistant"? There's no UI for it that I've found in Home Assistant so far, just a mention of the default here: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/mqtt/discovery/

Event Name Prefix: ???

Howdy

Sorry about taking a bit to get back to you.

The discovery prefix is actually a throw back to when the Home Assistant MQTT discovery was setup by yaml and not an Integration with a UI. You can still override it in Home Assistant and force a specific discovery prefix, but the current UI based integration doesnt need to change.

Leave it at homeassistant if you are using the UI integration.
