Apache Kafka

The apache_kafka integration sends all state changes to a Apache Kafka topic.

Apache Kafka is a real-time data pipeline that can read and write streams of data. It stores its data safely in a distributed, replicated, fault-tolerant cluster.

To use the apache_kafka integration in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

apache_kafka:
  host: localhost
  port: 9092
  topic: home_assistant_1
