I can’t seem to wrap my head around the MQTT handlers to import information from Solar Assistant. I’ve installed a couple of MQTT drivers (parasaurolophus and cogdev), but can not figure out how to configure them to connect to my Solar Assistant MQTT broker, which seems to be integrated into that platform if I’m not mistaken, and I have enabled it. Can someone walk me through the steps like I’m a six year old? TIA.

Goog news - you already have MQTT Broker (which is a must). Install MQTT Explorer, connect it to the MQTT Broker and take a snapshot of all published MQTT Topics and Sub-Topics (expand all trees, so everything will be clearly visible). You may need to restart/reboot your device which will/should force it to publish all MQTT Topics. Open https://copilot.microsoft.com/ AI (!do not use ChatGPT!) and paste entire MQTT Tree in the AI input window. Then ask AI something like this: “Please create MQTT Parent-Child drivers for the uploaded MQTT Tree for the Hubitat”. Follow whatever instructions you will get from AI. Most likely things will not work on a first try. You will need few iterations for tuning drivers.
PS. I am not a sw engineer but this approach actually works. This way I created ESP32-based very complex Multiple IO Device with MQTT Interface which has built-in Web UI, integrates natively with Home Assistant and with Hubitat. Hubitat custom drivers was created by MS Copilot AI.
