But what's all the GUI shenanigans for, then? There are so many configuration options under MQTT devices in the GUI, but nowhere to enter an actual MQTT topic. I wonder what it's for.
How to add weather station
I still have trouble understanding how to add an MQTT device without YAML. It seems there's an elaborate GUI flow made to deal with this, so why is this so complicated?
I have MQTT messages coming in. Their topics are e.g.
wx/temperature wx/humidity wx/light_lux wx/rain_mm wx/wind_dir_deg
How do I tell Home Assistant to just add the bloody device, and let me configure units afterwards and not type out 600 lines of YAML manually?

I don't think they will bother. They will end up in a landfill, and the school will buy new Windows computers.
