MQTT Discovery AND Manually configured MQTT sensors?

Configuration
1

I had MQTT autodiscovery turned off for the longest time, but recently had to turn it on, because after a HA update a couple of months ago, all of my manually. configured MQTT sensors were 'unknown.

That resolved my problem then, but now I’m struggling again because I need to configure some MQTT sensors manually. They show up in dev tools but as unknown.

Anyone know what can cause this?! ALL of the manually configured MQTT sensors show up as unknown and they definitely worked well until a few updates ago.

The only thing I can think of is now use EMQX instead of the built in Mosquitto broker because that developed an issue, can’t remember what, (I’d been on v2 for years) and I had to move to EMQX.

Any ideas?!

thanks

Coding error?

Show us the definition of your MQTT sensors in YAML, and some picture of the associated MQTT topics in, e.g, MQTT Explorer

For sure, manually defined MQTT sensors are totally unrelated to discovery topics

Oh nooooooo the shame

Thank you!!
