I am new to HASS development, trying to find my way, and getting to the point where I have a working custom component which integrates with my MQTT based device for plant watering.
When I just plain try to subscribe to a topic within async_setup_entry, I will get the following error in the log while starting HASS:

raise HomeAssistantError(
homeassistant.exceptions.HomeAssistantError: Cannot subscribe to topic 'ha/smart_watering/status/0x2341234', MQTT is not enabled
I am starting HASS from the developer venv using hass -c config, where config/configuration.yaml contains:
mqtt:
broker: myMqttHost
birth_message:
topic: 'hass/status'
payload: 'online'
will_message:
topic: 'hass/status'
payload: 'offline'
Also, from the log you can see that MQTT is actually set up before the custom component. I have mqtt in the dependencies list of manifest.json. So it should be available?!
When I add code to wait for MQTT (as done in the snips integration, found via google), like this:
async def async_setup(hass: HomeAssistant, config: Config) -> bool:
"""Set up using yaml config file."""
_LOGGER.warn("async_setup")
coordinator = SmartWateringCoordinator(hass)
hass.data[DOMAIN] = coordinator
# Make sure MQTT is available and the entry is loaded
if not hass.config_entries.async_entries(mqtt.DOMAIN):
_LOGGER.error("MQTT integration is not available 1 {}".format(mqtt.DOMAIN))
return False
if not await hass.config_entries.async_wait_component(hass.config_entries.async_entries(mqtt.DOMAIN)[0]):
_LOGGER.error("MQTT integration is not available 2")
return False
return True
I will get:
2023-01-20 18:06:00.231 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Setting up smart_watering

2023-01-20 18:06:00.231 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.smart_watering] MQTT integration is not available 1 mqtt
Why is MQTT not available? What do I need to do?
