Hi there, I am also struggling with the HA integration as HA is not finding any new lights. Maybe some one can help me with this.

I followed the McLighting guide and have general access to the lights via WebUI. I changed the Hostname to my one and the lights are connected to the MQTT server. As I integrated different lights via mqtt auto-discovery before, this feature should also work.

BUT: As the topics are set to "home/McLightingRGBW_1_ha/state/out" (e.g., in my case) and auto-discovery prefix is set to "homeassistant", how can then HA find the light? For example, my Milights are integrated via "homeassistan/light/milight_hub/...." why isnt there a topic like "homeassistant/light/McLighting....."? Do I miss something here? Thanks KeLvin
