HA not detecting Ratgdo MQTT #25

Closed mrwkbrdr closed 6 months ago

mrwkbrdr commented 6 months ago

For some reason my HA is not detecting my ratgdo. My HA is reporting other MQTT devices? Yes the auto discovery is selected in MQTT HA. My MQTT broker can see it? Any suggestions?

HA: Core 2023.11.3 Supervisor 2023.11.6 Operating System 11.1 Frontend 202310.2

MQTT broker:

shellyplugus- shellyplugus- frigate homeassistant cover light binary_sensor MAIN DOORGARAGE DOOR status availability = online obstruction = clear motion = detected door = closed light = on lock = unlocked $SYS shellies

The autodiscovery stuff should be under homeassistant....for instance, homeassistant/cover//config and config would be equal to a string of JSON structure. Here is an example of mine from MQTT Explorer; mine has a few extra devices, so ignore those. You can get MQTT Explorer by just searching for it on the internet, or even in Github. Makes troubleshooting a bit simpler. image

I can see the 3 MQTT configs under home assistant in my MQTT broker, but I have no entities showing up in HA UI?

Well I re read the info, and found an invalid character that HA refused. All good now.

@mrwkbrdr what was the invalid character?

You cannot have any spaces or special characters.
