Your assistance is appreciated.
First the MQTT settings. My MQTT broker is open, so there is no user/password.
I am not using the integrated MQTT broker. My broker is on a separate Raspberry Pi3*
After a couple of reboots, this is what I see on MQTT Explorer:
“plate” is seen on MQTT, but there is no I/O.
My other HASP devices are HA SwitchPlates working fine.
*My MQTT broker predates my use of Home Assistant by more than a year. A number of my MQTT devices have the broker IP hard-coded and it is easier to just keep the broker where it is instead of using the integrated broker. Which would require a lot of re-flashing.
