I am new to HA and only vaguely familiar with linux so this is probably a case of user error but may indicate that some modification of the guide page would be helpful. I have installed the supervise version of HA OS v 2022.11.5 on a raspberry pi 4. There are successful integrations for my solar system and Octopus energy usage. I have added the Mqqt-broker and created a user mosquitto1 with password in HA people. Configured the broker with the username and password and enable discovery. On the settings page tried '+' in the listen to a topic box with no result. By accident found '#' started showing output from my glow ihd. Also found glow/# had the same result. Installed ha_hildebrand_glow_ihd_mqtt from HACS as described. It appears in Devices and there is an entity 'update.hildebrand_glow_ihd_mqtt_update' but no sensors. The diagnostics at the end of this post indicate the integration has issues. Having trawled web pages for hours most of which seem to refer to a different UI it would appear I need some configuration entries, but I cannot find what they should be or how and where to create them. How do I get the integration to create the sensors and deliver the data from the mqtt broker?

I have finally got this working. Unlike other integrations I have added via HACS which appeared on the Integrations page or entity page after download and restart. This one needs to be added using the '+ ADD INTEGRATION' button at the bottom right of the integrations page and then typing 'hild' in the search box.
