Hi Marco, I'm a happy user of your RTL433-to-mqtt. So first: Many thanks for it ;-)

I guess your are aware of the recent addon of the direct MQTT publish feature of rtl_433:

output mqtt://..
or
-F mqtt ...

In combination with the MQTT format strings added a couple of weeks ago https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433/pull/1079#issuecomment-504760052 someone can achieve (almost?) the same topics published as done with your script, e.g.: https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433/pull/1079#issuecomment-505065206

Curious to know, if you see still advantages of your script over the "direct" MQTT feature? Did I miss something?

Hi El, you did not miss anything I guess. I wrote this solution when there was no MQTT output from rtf_433. And since this solution works fine for me I have not changed to the new version and its new features. But if I had to start again, I would reconsider using it.
