New devices are not in the devices list

Configuration
1

He! I coupled two light and one motion sensor in MQTT. The lights ar working in MQTT. (on/off/collor temp etc) . But… i dont see them in the devices tap. (with devices & services) . I refreshed the page and started my HA again. But I cant see these devices?
Extra info: the old devices are visible
What can I do? (Im a beginner)

If you added them by configuring them in .yaml, they will not show up as a device, but only as an entity.

3

I added the devices in MQTT with the discovery function. Do you know how to show these items in the devices tab?

4

Maybe show your discovery message. Does it contain device information ?

5

I know there are some green flags but they dissapear. Where can I find more info?

The important part to create a device is the block under device, .e.g.

{
   "name":"",
   "device_class":"garage_door",
   "state_topic":"sensor/garagedoor",
   "unique_id":"garagedoor",
   "off_delay":30,
   "device":{
      "identifiers":[
         "rfbridge_564886"
      ],
      "name":"garagedoor",
      "model":"Digoo door sensor",
      "manufacturer":"Digoo"
   }
}

This part:

   "device":{
      "identifiers":[
         "rfbridge_564886"
      ],
      "name":"garagedoor",
      "model":"Digoo door sensor",
      "manufacturer":"Digoo"
   }

Sorry. I have to little knowledge of code (where and how).
Normally I discover new items with MQTT and after that it’s visible in the devices-tab. Im not sure why this is not happening now…
When I google they are talking about the MQTT broker. But that one is still working.

Maybe start by telling what devices.

Ikea lights and an Aqara motion sensor. I’v made a short video about this : New Recording - 1-10-2023 16:50:46 (Copy)

Ok, using Zigbee2MQTT.

What version of HA, and what version of Zigbee2MQTT ?

11

Zigbee2MQTT version : 1.33.0
HA : 2023.9.3

12

Hmm, they should appear. Only thing I can think of is maybe restart Zigbee2MQTT.

13

I just did. No succes.

14

I’v made a new MQTT user and used that in the config file. That worked!

For what it’s worth I just added 6 identical Ikea bulbs using Zigbee2MQTT, all 6 appeared in the Zigbee2MQTT list. BUT when I went to the HA device list only 3 of them were there.

If I use a helper to create a light group then all 6 are listed as available entities and can be added to the light group. Weird.
