Mqtt sensor ... unknow

Configuration
1

Hi,
after searching and testing solutions from the forum, I’m still unable to get mqtt value … it is “unknown”
Thanks for your help and suggestions.

What I have :

  • a sensor sending json --> {“orp”:" 100"} under the topic /piscine/sondes
  • Mosquito + mqtt.fx : I can get the payload
  • HA : when using ‘listen to topic’ in the mqtt integration, I can get the payload
  • HA : when I publish to the topix, mqtt.fx get the payload
  • HA : mqtt_dump.txt contains the payloads

the configuration.yaml I’m using :

sensor :
  - platform: mqtt
    name : “sonde Orp”
    unique_id : sondeORP
    state_topic: “/piscine/sondes”
    qos : 0
    value_template: "{{ value_json.orp }}"
    icon: mdi:information-outline

I’ve tested with direct value (no json), with quoted/unquoted value (10 or “10”) … same result : “unknown”

I’m sure I’m missing something, but what ?

Use regular quotes (") instead of the fancy onces you have now.
