i have a sensor that i created to look at topic that is showing a numeric value. the value is created in node red and sent via a mqtt node to my mosquito mqtt broker. I know that the broker can see this because when I use my mqtt explorer to listen to the topic the value shows up. I would like an extra set of eyes on this as this is my first sensor that I have set up this way. any insight is helpful.
i am runninng
Home Assistant 2023.2.5
Supervisor 2023.04.1
Operating System 9.5
Frontend 20230202.0 - latest
Mosquitto broker
Current version: 6.1.3
here is my config file entry for the sensor
mqtt:
sensor:
- name: ‘Master Bath Duepoint’
state_topic: “masterbath/duepoint”
unique_id: masterbath123
when i look for the topic “masterbath/duepoint” via my mqtt explorer i get the following
topic
masterbath/duepoint
value
49.8
So i know that the topic has a value and is up dated every second ( i have it set high just to test and verify working) but when look at the entity “sensor.master_bath_duepoint” it gives unknown info.
thanks for taking a look
