Hi there
I hope someone can help me as this is driving me mad.
I have a sonoff rf bridge which I managed to install tasmota with the portisch firmware. I have sniffed the rf codes that I am after and have been able to send them via mqtt. I then added it on HA by creating an MQTT switch in the following manner:
- unique_id: projector
name: "Projector Screen"
command_topic: "cmnd/rfbridge/rfraw"
state_topic: "stat/rfbridge/rfraw"
availability_topic: "tele/rfbridge/LWT"
payload_on: "AAB0210308024400AA16B22819090818181908190819081909090819081818190819090955"
payload_off: "AAB0210308024400AA16BC2819090818181908190819081909090819081818190908190955"
payload_available: "Online"
payload_not_available: "Offline"
optimistic: true
Everything worked well until I added another switch and now both the first switch shows unavailable while the second says unavailable and entity is no longer provided by the mqtt intergration. The second switch config is below:
- unique_id: projector_stop
name: "Projector Screen Stop"
command_topic: "cmnd/rfbridge/rfraw"
state_topic: "stat/rfbridge/rfraw"
availability_topic: "tele/rfbridge/LWT"
payload_on: "AAB0210308025800A016762819090818181908190819081909090819081818181909090955"
payload_available: "Online"
payload_not_available: "Offline"
optimistic: true
I am not sure what I am doing wrong and I even went to remove all the “retain” messages on my mqtt broker but nothing helped.
Can someone please help me with this? thanks.

Show your whole configuration. I suspect you have 2 times
switch:
in which case only the second switch will be used.

See if some of the switches have been orphaned and readded with a _2 or similar.

blimey thats correct
why does it do that? orphaned and readded? can I get rid of the old ones which are orphaned?

Delete them in the entities list under Settings → Devices & Services → Entities tab.
Or if you are sure that those are the only orphaned ones, then install Spook and use the service: “Remove all orphaned entities”.
