I have an ecoflow power station that I've tried to integrate into HA, but nothing I've tried so far (from hacs) has worked.
The next thing I've seen to try is mqtt.
From what Ive found so far, I have to setup a vm/system to grab the message, then I can use the mqtt integration to "see" the data thats seen in the mqtt vm/system.
Does that sound right?

If you have HAOS, you can just add MQTT broker as addon, otherwise you need to install the broker to some container. I have it runnin in docker.

Ok so to confirm, i dont need a separate system for mqtt
How could i tell which one to add?

I'd try with "MQTT"

ok, I'll try that and research the ecoflow mqtt setup for it, thanks

@royal shoal Are you familiar with the integration hassio-ecoflow-cloud available via hacs?
I used it a while and with it I was able to create https://github.com/Nid01/core/tree/EcoFlow_IoT_Open which currently has all I need so now I'm going to write it again from scratch properly so I can commit it as a new integration for HA.
