Mqtt sensor, can't get it to work

Hi

I have a sonoff rf bridge, flashed with espurna.
It captures 433mhz and publishes it to mqtt, i.e. “[963760] [MQTT] Sending RFBRIDGE1/rfin => C001015D18006EFDC2 (PID 1)”
I can subscribe to the topic from the MQTT listener and it receives the codes from the rfbridge.

Next is setting up a sensor listening to the topic

  • platform: mqtt
    name: small_remote
    state_topic: “RFBRIDGE1/rfin”

Nothing happens to the sensor, I tried making it a switch, binary_sensor by looking at the payload, but nothing.

Regardless of the source (in this case anm rfbridge) why does the sensor stay unavailable and not change state to the payload?
I have a 16 channel rf remote coming in so the 8 switches in the rfbridge won’t do :slight_smile:

Install mqtt explorer, and post the topic and message espurna publishes.

Sorry, missed the reply… weird thing, after adding an icon it started to work. must have been some typo somewhere…
