Hello,
I have created a python-script to parse my heating control and to publish the sensors to mqtt (published here in the community).
Unfortunately, it works only for sensors, not for binary sensors. The sensor is discovered:
2024-01-12 10:31:51.759 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.entity_registry] Registered new binary_sensor.mqtt entity: binary_sensor.uvr_ta_designer_anf_kessel_zustand_ein_aus

2024-01-12 10:31:51.760 DEBUG (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.mqtt.discovery] Process discovery payload {‘device_class’: ‘power’, ‘name’: ‘anf_kessel_zustand__ein_aus_’, ‘state_topic’: ‘homeassistant/binary_sensor/UVR_TA-Designer/state’, ‘unit_of_measurement’: ‘On/Off’, ‘value_template’: ‘{{ value_json.anf_kessel_zustand__ein_aus_}}’, ‘unique_id’: ‘uvr_ta-designer_binary_sensor_anf_kessel_zustand__ein_aus_xxxzzzaaa’, ‘device’: {‘identifiers’: [‘uvr_ta-designerxxxzzzaaa’], ‘name’: ‘Uvr_ta-designer’}, ‘platform’: ‘mqtt’}

So, it should expect
{“anf_kessel_zustand__ein_aus_”: “1”} on homeassistant/binary_sensor/UVR_TA-Designer/state
But when I send data, I get:
2024-01-12 11:25:30.245 DEBUG (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.mqtt.models] Rendering incoming payload ‘{“anf_kessel_zustand__ein_aus_”: “0”}’

Payload: ‘{“anf_kessel_zustand__ein_aus_”: “0”}’, template output: ‘0’, with value template ‘Template<template=({{ value_json.anf_kessel_zustand__ein_aus_}}) renders=13>’
What am I overlooking… I have spent hours already on it, but I fear I need an independent set of eyes…
Here a bit nicer formated, what I send:
'homeassistant/binary_sensor/UVR_TA-Designer_binary_sensor_anf_kessel_zustand__ein_aus_/config'
{"device_class": "power", "name": "anf_kessel_zustand__ein_aus_", "state_topic": "homeassistant/binary_sensor/UVR_TA-Designer/state", "unit_of_measurement": "On/Off", "value_template": "{{ value_json.anf_kessel_zustand__ein_aus_}}", "unique_id": "uvr_ta-designer_binary_sensor_anf_kessel_zustand__ein_aus_xxxzzzaaa", "device": {"identifiers": ["uvr_ta-designerxxxzzzaaa"], "name": "Uvr_ta-designer"}}
and
homeassistant/binary_sensor/UVR_TA-Designer/state
this payload:
{“vergl__2_status_wa___wb___diff”: 1.0, …, “anf_kessel_zustand__ein_aus_”: 0.0, “pumpe-hzkr_1_zustand__ein_aus_”: 1.0, “pumpe-hzkr_2_zustand__ein_aus_”: 0.0, …}
