State max length is 255 characters

it seems that your sensor.thermostat_buro_program is receiving a state exceeding the limit of 255 characters.
This is probably causing the integration to crash.

I found this on the forum:

Mqtt sensor error "State max length is 255 characters"

Hi There, I’m trying to add a sensor where the output is an invalid json, so I have to manipulate it before use. I was able to manipulate the data using the Template on Developer Tools, but doesn’t matter how many characters I’m filtering using regex_replace, however when I try to configure the sensor, I’m receiving the below message from the logs: 2022-07-14 13:03:18 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.util.logging] Exception in message_received when handling msg on 'lollipop/cameraStatus/retu…

Sensor size limit - How to read long MQTT payloads?

I want to use text strings that are longer than 256 characters. I thought I could publish them to MQTT (I can) and then be able to do something with them in HA (I can’t). The only way I can think of to get them into HA is using an MQTT Sensor but I have now found that that also has a size limit of 256 characters Is there any way to ‘read’ a long payload? It doesn’t need to be stored, I can use it dynamically while it is in memory.

that might help ?
