Update README.md backend setup for current ha release

[pixeldoc2000]

Old mqtt config;

sensor:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: Zigbee2mqtt Networkmap
    # if you change base_topic of Zigbee2mqtt, change state_topic accordingly
    state_topic: zigbee2mqtt/bridge/response/networkmap
    value_template: >-
      {{ now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') }}
    # again, if you change base_topic of Zigbee2mqtt, change json_attributes_topic accordingly
    json_attributes_topic: zigbee2mqtt/bridge/response/networkmap
    json_attributes_template: "{{ value_json.data.value | tojson }}"

New mqtt:

mqtt:
  sensor:
    - name: Zigbee2mqtt Networkmap
      # if you change base_topic of Zigbee2mqtt, change state_topic accordingly
      state_topic: zigbee2mqtt/bridge/response/networkmap
      value_template: >-
        {{ now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') }}
      # again, if you change base_topic of Zigbee2mqtt, change json_attributes_topic accordingly
      json_attributes_topic: zigbee2mqtt/bridge/response/networkmap
      json_attributes_template: "{{ value_json.data.value | tojson }}"

Hello.

I am still struggling to make this to work. To make debugging easier, I was thinking to look at the MQTT broker instead, and then search why it's not working with HA.

I was using the proposed template on my zigbee2mqtt-data/configuration.yaml file, by having exactly these values alongside existing mqtt: entry, thus the final entry is:

mqtt:
  base_topic: zigbee2mqtt
  server: mqtt://192.168.1.4:1883
  user: ***
  password: ***
  sensor:
    - name: Zigbee2mqtt Networkmap
      state_topic: zigbee2mqtt/bridge/response/networkmap
      value_template: '{{ now().strftime(''%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'') }}'
      json_attributes_topic: zigbee2mqtt/bridge/response/networkmap
      json_attributes_template: '{{ value_json.data.value | tojson }}'

Then I tried to connect directly to MQTT broker, to see what's happening, but there's nothing under zigbee2mqtt/bridge/response/networkmap . Of course, zigbee2mqtt/bridge exists, but I was expecting to find the rest too.

Am I missing something?

Thank you!

You can debug the zigbee2mqtt MQTT api using:

# run in one console
mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.1.4 -u user -P pass -t 'zigbee2mqtt/bridge/response/networkmap'
# run in another console
mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.1.4 -u user -P pass -t 'zigbee2mqtt/bridge/request/networkmap' -m '{"type": "raw", "routes": true}'

Wait about a minute, you should see some JSON data in the mosquitto_sub console.

Did you misunderstand the configuration? This config:

mqtt:
  sensor:
    - name: Zigbee2mqtt Networkmap
      # if you change base_topic of Zigbee2mqtt, change state_topic accordingly
      state_topic: zigbee2mqtt/bridge/response/networkmap
      value_template: >-
        {{ now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') }}
      # again, if you change base_topic of Zigbee2mqtt, change json_attributes_topic accordingly
      json_attributes_topic: zigbee2mqtt/bridge/response/networkmap
      json_attributes_template: "{{ value_json.data.value | tojson }}"

is to be put into config/configuration.yaml of Home-Assistant, not Zigbee2mqtt.

Did you misunderstand the configuration? This config: ... is to be put into config/configuration.yaml of Home-Assistant, not Zigbee2mqtt.

Right, I misunderstood. Maybe the README should be updated to clearly state that this configuration should be put in HA's config instead?

Also, now I can see the sensor, but when I try to set a custom lovelace card, it's empty. Here is the sensor:

Here is the lovelace configuration (maybe this should be in documentation too?)

type: custom:zigbee2mqtt-networkmap

And here's what I see. The fact that I see the "Refresh" button, seems to be an indication that the card is loading but with wrong data.

Please open a new issue and fill the issue template, especially I need full plain text of the state attributes of sensor.zigbee2mqtt_networkmap.
