ESP32 MQTT - Send data
To be able to receive data from an ESP32, I have prepared an MQTT broker as a Docker container . The container can be integrated into Home-Assistant and thus forward the data from the ESP32 to Home-Assistant via MQTT. On the part of ESP32, I tested sending with the following sketch and later integrated the relevant parts into another sketch.
see: Home Assistant + DIY Microcontroller + ESP Home (Docker).

const char* mqttPassword = "???";
WiFiClient espClient;
PubSubClient client(espClient);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
delay(500);
Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi..");
}
Serial.println("Connected to the WiFi network");
client.setServer(mqttServer, mqttPort);
while (!client.connected()) {
Serial.println("Connecting to MQTT...");
if (client.connect("ESP32Client", mqttUser, mqttPassword )) {
Serial.println("connected");
} else {
Serial.print("failed with state ");
Serial.print(client.state());
delay(2000);
}
}
client.publish("esp32/test", "Hello from ESP32");
}
void loop() {
client.loop();

When using the Eclipse Mosquitto MQTT Docker image, the connection setup can be examined in the logs, see: MQTT Viewing Connections: Logs

Complementary to the article: DS18B20 Temperature Sensors ESP32, MQTT and WiFi - HowTo, I have meanwhile replaced the Arduino project with ESP-Home. Simple projects can be implemented much easier in ESPHome. As an example, in ESPHome these 2 lines are enough to address the temperature sensors:
As described on the article ESP32 programming, Arduino - install requirements, my first goal was to read out a TUF-2000M Ultrasonic Flow Meter via an ESP32. I found an example for an ESP8266 on the internet: Reading a TUF-2000M Ultrasonic Flow Meter with an Arduino or ESP8266 and https://forum.arduino.cc/t/comunicacion-rs485/698786/2. I described the setup of the TUF-2000M in the following article: Field Report: Ultrasonic Flow Meter TUF-2000M. To be able to read out the TUF-2000M via RS485, it...
In preparation for uploading sketches to a microcontroller, I installed the ESP32 board infromations and a USB to UART bridge driver, see: Preparations for programming an ESP32.
