Invalid config for [light.mqtt]: required key not provided @ data['command_topic']

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Hi All, i’m a noob :slight_smile:
Trying to configure a SONOFF Basic (tasmota firmware) into Home Assistant. Installed Mosquitto Add-ON from Hass.io and started. Configured my SONOFF (configuration>>Configure MQTT>>filled HOST, User, Password and Topic). Into configuration.yaml i’ve wrote:

mqtt

mqtt:
broker: core-mosquitto
username: username (the same in the sonoff configuration)
password: password (the same in the sonoff configuration)

light:

  • platform: mqtt
    name: “ingresso”
    command-topic: “cmnd/sonoff-ingresso/power”
    state-topic: “stat/sonoff-ingresso/POWER”
    qos: 1
    payload_on: “ON”
    payload_off: “OFF”
    retain: true

When i check the configuration i receive the following error:

Invalid config for [light.mqtt]: required key not provided @ data[‘command_topic’]. Got None. (See ?, line ?). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/light.mqtt/

and, obviously i cannot see my sonoff in the main page.

Can you hel me?
Thank you in advance
Marcello

Command topic and state topic should be separated by underscores not hyphens.
