(HA_)MQTT sink broken if env UPDATEFREQ is set

[sti0]

Hi, I'm trying to use smahub to get the values of my SMA HM2 and Tripower X into Home Assistant.

I can get the data when setting TRIPOWERX_ENABLED , SHM2_ENABLED and MQTT_ENABLED to true. But if I try to get the data through HA discovery (setting HA_MQTT_ENABLED to true) this won't work.

So i created a minimal configuration to test the behaviour but even when I only activate HA MQTT and the DEMOSOURCE the HA MQTT is not loaded.

This is my -minimal- config:

services:
  smahub:
    image: ghcr.io/anotherdaniel/smahub:v1.3.2
    container_name: smahub
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      -  DEMOSOURCE_ENABLED=true
      -  SMAHUB_VERBOSER=true
      -  TRIPOWERX_ENABLED=false
      -  MQTT_ENABLED=false
      -  SHM2_ENABLED=false
      -  HA_MQTT_ENABLED=true
      -  HA_MQTT_ADDRESS=<ip>
      -  HA_MQTT_PORT=1883
      -  HA_MQTT_USER=<user>
      -  HA_MQTT_PASSWORD=<pass>
      -  HA_MQTT_PREFIX=homeassistant
      -  HA_MQTT_UPDATEFREQ=10

The issue comes from - HA_MQTT_UPDATEFREQ=10. If I don't set an update frequence it is working. But same for MQTT. If setting the update frequency MQTT is not working.

Tried all different ways to pass the value - HA_MQTT_UPDATEFREQ=10, - HA_MQTT_UPDATEFREQ="10", - HA_MQTT_UPDATEFREQ='10', none of them are working.

Thank you very much for raising this, and for the debug input! I am looking into this now, found out that the update-freq thing also is broken for the TripowerX source plugin. On it...

[AnotherDaniel]

Ok, I've found an issue and did a v1.4 release which fixes that. Please try that, I would like to know if it solves the issue for you.

Can confirm that that the Tripower source and the update frequence for this source is working in v1.4.

Thank you for the quick fix!
