Hai, When i look at the state in developer tools - state it keeps empty only the entity and atributes are filled in.

This will never work sensor: - platform: mqtt name: "MQTT RF sensor" state_topic: "tele/hub/RESULT" value_template: "{{ value_json.Data }}" At least it should be sensor: - platform: mqtt name: "MQTT RF sensor" state_topic: "tele/hub/RESULT" value_template: "{{ value_j…
