Hi,
I have a few MQTT switches, sensors, and lights that stopped working after updating to HA 2022.9.0. I read through the release/change notes and made (what I thought) were the necessary modifications to my configuration.yaml and added a mqtt.yaml file.
In my configuration.yaml file I have a line reading:
mqtt: !include mqtt.yaml
in my mqtt.yaml file I have the following entries after formatting the items slightly (all passed configuration.yaml check in developer):

The only item that appears to be working is the first switch that is a fan; that works fine. The other lights , and sensors donāt register. What am I doing so wrong?
I assume this is a typo - and it really says:
availability_topic: "tele/Man_Cave_Fan/LWT"
?
Nope; not a typo. Thatās the configuration example given from the MQTT switch page.
mqtt:
switch:
- unique_id: bedroom_switch
name: "Bedroom Switch"
state_topic: "home/bedroom/switch1"
command_topic: "home/bedroom/switch1/set"
availability:
- topic: "home/bedroom/switch1/available"
payload_on: "ON"
payload_off: "OFF"
state_on: "ON"
state_off: "OFF"
optimistic: false
qos: 0
retain: true
I see that is an example given, but as you arenāt using any of the options in the availability key, I donāt see the point in using it.
Anyway the next thing I see -
I donāt see:
white_value_state_topic:
white_value_template:
options in the default schema.

Getting closer. Apparently I had some major yaml errors. Should only have one light:, Sensor:, and switch: line per each set. The lights are the last bit that arenāt working and thatās probably due to how the white_value part has change and I havenāt quite got that part figured out yet.

Can we just check double check these topics - because there are a few issues that immediately jump out -
Topics generally should not start with / because what that really means behind the scenes is <empty>/ it will still work but it should be avoided.
/BasementClimate/BasementClimate/ is this definitely correct? If so why does humidity and temperature both have this weird pattern of topic - and then uptime - instead of using BasementClimate twice, instead uses it once and then has uptime twice? /BasementClimate/Uptime/Uptime
Since you are migrating - you might as well add unique_id to all the entities that are missing it in this file, if it helps, I just use https://www.uuidgenerator.net/ to generate a UUID and then refresh the page to get a new UUID for the next entity.
Can you list what is actually working from your file and what is not, to make it easier to spot the issue.
The /BasementClimate/BasementClimate, etc is correct and is one of the sensors working and reporting data correctly with that setup.
WRT my mqtt.yaml file, the parts that arenāt working are aprils_lamp, cr10_lamp, man_cave_light_1, and man_cave_light_2. These are all RGBW tuya bulbs that were flashed with Tasmota some time ago.
This was the config for the lights before 2022.9.0 came out that worked.
