MQTT device automatically set up but everything "This entity is unavailable."

[blundell]

I set it up using the HA plugin, instructions here: https://github.com/supersebbo/bwa-mqtt-bridge-addon/wiki/Installation-&-Run

MQTT automatically discovered the device, but everything seems disabled, it looks like this:

and if I click on any it says "This entity is unavailable.", for example:

I got some of the MQTT listen in logs here:

Does this look like a recognised problem? Or any help as to where I look at more info into the issue please?

(I looked through the open & closed issues, only potentially similar issue is https://github.com/ccutrer/balboa_worldwide_app/issues/65. This is potentially related but only outside chance https://github.com/ccutrer/balboa_worldwide_app/issues/51)

Now just looked again and getting some temperature data:

but on the BWA link side:

bit stumped, this might be due to my lack of HA knowledge

[blundell]

I went into the settings of that temperature entity and just manually enabled it.

Do I know what I am doing. No. 😆

I guess I'll manually enable everything and see what happens...

[blundell]

Manually enabled all Sensors and all Controls, it seems to now be "working"!

Thanks for writing and sharing the software, appreciate it. 💯
