Change Home Assistant Module's Birth and LWT Messges To Home Assistant's New Default

[danieledwardgeorgehitchcock]

Home Assistant (as-of v0.113) now publishes by default to Birth and Last Will and Testament topics, see here. This differs slightly from what is recommended in the documentation i.e. 'hass/status' vs 'homeassistant/status'.

If the plugin and documentation were to change to the new topic, it would avoid the extra configuration required at Home Assistant's end.

This has already been addressed in https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/3918 / https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/commit/a845d35b8ef9a4363930bb1ce825dd03bea21523 / https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt.io/commit/5bc56e904a7bd7e14d54569322e9fa6b7f6c0fe2

By default zigbee2mqtt subscribes to homeassistant/status now, documentation has also been updated: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/integration/home_assistant.html#mqtt-discovery

I’m still seeing hass/status in the documentation, hence the confusion.

Thanks.

That's true indeed, but it's not needed anymore stated in: "# birth_message and will_message is not required anymore for Home Assistant 0.113 >="
