subscribing means the mqtt node (ha or mqtt.fx) will subscribe to the topic and read/save all messages sent to the topic.
It doesn’t sound like having done this, can you tell me how to do? Maybe it’s what I’m missing?
I tried to get on the scale without success, nothing appears.
My config dcoker-compose.yml

That is all I did.
if you’re sure your mqtt settings are correct, then make sure the mi app is not running on your phone, step on the scale, wait to get a reading displayed on the scale, then step off.
Next wait up to 5 min (until the minute number ends with 5 or 0) and you should get something sent to MQTT. If not it probably means your MQTT settings are not correct. In any case try and get me the log from then
I will look again, but if my configuration is correct, in addition to the same configuration by my explorer I can see everything in my computer without problem …
I have done what he told me, I have climbed the scale and waited, but nothing has changed 
I’m missing some step?
what do you now get in your container logs?
the same thing I showed
Just a quick note that I’ve updated the containers:
https://hub.docker.com/r/lolouk44/xiaomi-mi-scale
Key changes:
")Is pretty much real time already. Just takes a few seconds to retrieve the data and send to ha. Make sure you run the latest version of the container
yes, i have the last version, and it’s really nice 
but i wondering if you have seen if is possible to get weight data during measurement. before it defines the correct weight, like the app
That would be kind of pointless. Remember HA saves all the states so you’ll end up with lots of incorrect data saved "just so it looks like it’s moving while you weigh yourself "
it depends of the use that we can do with this kind of data.
for example for a smart mirror in front of the scale. i think that saves states in HA is not the only way with this data can be used.
Thanks. Even then it would not behave like the Xiaomi app. There would be Too much latency between mqtt getting the messages then ha receiving them. I probably won’t implement this to be honest
Does the custom component work alongside the Mi Fit app, or do i have to choose to either using the app or the home-assistant integration?
I have a question, everything is working but the mqtt topic keeps sending “miScale/David/weight” instead of the name i gave to the user in compose file.
What am i missing?
Can you share your docker compose file as well as your measured weight?
Sorry missed this one
You can’t use both at the same time
Once the app or the component runs it pretty much takes control of the communication And won’t allow another app to connect
I personally no longer use the mi app anymore

This is what compose says,
mi-scale |
mi-scale | -------------------------------------
mi-scale | Starting Xiaomi mi Scale…
mi-scale | MQTT connection: Connection Accepted.
mi-scale |
mi-scale | Sent data to topic miScale/David/weight: {“Weight”:“87.00”,“BMI”:“28.41”,“Basal Metabolism”:“1765.76”,“Visceral Fat”:“18.42”,“TimeStamp”:“2020-03-21-14:13:30”}
got it, replace the columns : with equal signs = in your docker-compose
For some reason my github /docker were showing an old version of docker-compose (just fixed this).
