Third party integrations

Hello. Cannot get sensor data values in homeassistant. Tried everything cannot make it working.
I am running dockerized homeassistant, mosquito mqqt broker and mqqt gateway on the same RPI.

Temperature and humidity are being published correctly:

Homeassistant is connect to mqqt as i Can control and get values of my sonoof basic switch with no problems.

Any ideas where the problem could be?

From the MQTT screenshot, I don’t think you need to define ‘value_template’ for the sensors. When defining it how you did, HA is expecting the data to be structured as a json dict with key, temperature but the data isn’t.

Beyond that, assuming your mysensors arduino sketch has a presentation() function, there should be no additional sensor config required so you could remove all the sensor with mqtt platform for this. Chances are you may need to force your sensor to present by pulling power and plugging back in and the rest or the sensor import into HA should be handled by the component.
