State changes not published #4

Hi,

I've successfully installed your plugin (version 0.82) on my Telldus Znet Lite v2 after having Telldus install you GPG key.

I've set up the MQTT parameters and confirmed, by using mosquitto_sub, that the Znet does publish the list of devices connected to the Znet. The devices are even automagically discovered by Home Assistant. So far, so good.

However, the plugin does not publish state changes for the devices. If, for example, I push a button on a 433 MHz remote, the Znet registers this and I can see the change in an HA entity that fetches its state from the Telldus Live HA-integration, but a corresponding MQTT message is never published.

I might be doing something wrong or misunderstanding the plugin's use (wouldn't be the first time).

I'd appreciate it if you could give me a pointer to what I might have missed.

Best regards,

could you capture all the messages sent to "(base topic)/(device name)/debug" topic ? basetopic and devicename is set in the config for the plugin. I have not tested this with a 433 remote so it might be something missing in the plugin.

Thank you for responding so (extremely) quickly, but: Ouch, I feel stupid (more than usual): I did a reboot of the Znet and now the plugin publishes signals and changes just as I expected. Sorry to have raised a non-existent issue, I should have rebooted first.

The Znet sees the 433 remote as a switch, by the way and the plugin reports button pushes like this:

homeassistant/switch/znet/12/state ON
homeassistant/switch/znet/12/state ON
homeassistant/switch/znet/12/state ON
homeassistant/switch/znet/12/state ON

It keeps publishing for as long as you keep the button pushed. It means, I guess, that I should do some filtering in HA if the button pushing triggers automations.

Anyways, thanks for your good work!
