I’ve been monitoring the MQTT activity that reports an RSSI value from Tasmota running on an ESP8266 to make sure it’s working. The telemetry interval in Tasmota is set to the default of 5 minutes. Using the history graph for the RSSI sensor, I see this:
The sensor is defined as follows:
- platform: mqtt
name: "Garage Motion RSSI"
state_topic: "tele/motion01/STATE"
unit_of_measurement: '%'
value_template: "{{ value_json.Wifi.RSSI }}"
retain: true
icon: mdi:signal
Does the “6 hours ago” comment mean that the last update was 6 hours ago or does it mean that the last change in the history was noted six hours ago? In other words, if the value never changes, will the history comment just grow longer and longer even though new, identical values are reported?
