I have set up a sensor node, how can I get the tracked telemetry into Home Assistant? Seems it can only track repeaters.
Also how do I access the admin panel and cli for the sensor? I can see alerts in the chat, it appears as a companion.
Since RemoteTerminal is already tracking telemetry for my companion and the sensor I would like to have the option to add all to HA too.
Thanks!

I have the RemoteTerm4MC installed via a HAOS App/Addon wrapper, to get information from RT4MC into HomeAssistant you have to have MQTT broker that both HAOS and RT4MC can talk to.
As soon that you have both of them talking to each other thru the MQTT broker the information will flow.
here is the information that you need to read to implement it:

Hello! A couple things. Telemetry tracking is not restricted to repeaters; you'll need to collect the telemetry from a contact's flyout pane (click their profile icon and enable tracking). Then, you'll need to open your HA config from the Settings pane and add the sensor/contact under "GPS Tracked Contacts", which will forward all telemetry (not just GPS).

We don't have an admin panel/cli for sensors.

Let me know if those HA docs that @tiberius-code linked help you out; I'm gonna close this for now but if you run into additional issues or confusion, feel free to reopen.
