Nothing has changed in 0.90 to the previous one with CustomApps. If you also upgrade this clock from 0.59 to 0.90 then there are of course lot of breaking changes.

thx for your reply upgraded this from 0.7 to 0.9 ( the other was my first and stil runnig strong on 0.59 ) and with 0.7 it worked. even wy would the mqqt message data be changed thats a standard right? where there breaking changes?

this is what i send to my old clock and this clock also ( works with 0.59 and before with 0.7 no longer after i upgraded )

service: mqtt.publish data: qos: 0 retain: false topic: awtrix_122264/notify payload: "{ \"text\": {{ states('sensor.power_produced') }}, \"duration\": 5 }"

-- this now only shows a blank screen for 5 seconds. on 0.59 and 0.7 ith shows and showed the power

I cannot tell you every changes in the last 20 version you have missed 😅 Check the changelogs and documentation.

But your JSON looks correct. Replace your entity state with a static text and check if the problem still exists. If not then your state is simply empty

If not then your state is simply empty ok i will check but the same data ( constant changing data ) is displayed on the other clock with 0.59 so its not empty ;-) i can see if just displays text ... now only have to figure out again what that code was ;-)

--- wil try this ;-) --- payload: "{ "text": {{ TEXT? }}, "duration": 5 }"

No { "text": "TEST", "duration": 5 }

[GL640]

{ "text": "TEST", "duration": 5 }

ok did this no errors on the side of home assistant but also when i manually run it nothing happens on the clock ;-) also when i not manual run it but just replace the above... nothing happens on the clock anymore. just keeps displaying the clock what i have as default

i only changed this the topic and other stuff unchanged

[GL640]

No { "text": "TEST", "duration": 5 }

to see wy this happens i went to develepment tools and mqqt publis

service: mqtt.publish data: qos: 0 retain: false topic: awtrix_122264/notify payload: "{ "text": "TEST", "duration": 5 }"

and got a error "Service YAML contains syntax errors, please fix the syntax" what wrong with the code?

[GL640]

can i not just downgrade to 0.59 ;-) a lot easier haha

I cannot give you Homeassistant support. Easiest to find the error, Download MQTT explorer and test it with this.

I'm pretty sure it's because your sending a number and not a string. this is necessary since some versions. So convert it to string and it should be fine.
