[solved] No MQTT devices showing up in HA but in Zigbee2MQTT, MQTT addon is connected

Configuration Zigbee

Hi,

I am brand new to Zigbee. It was already a lot of hours and headaches getting Zigbee2MQTT and eclipse-mosquitto up and running in docker on a raspberry (my HA runs in docker on my synology NAS).
I got an IKEA air sensor here (“Vindstyrka”) and apparently have it successfully paired in Zigbee2MQTT, showing in the log it paired successfully and its output:
Zigbee2MQTT:info 2023-06-24 13:15:13: MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/0x287681ddda1acef7', payload '{"humidity":53,"linkquality":200,"pm25":3,"temperature":26,"update":{"installed_version":65552,"latest_version":16777233,"state":"available"},"update_available":true,"voc_index":98}

I added the MQTT addon in HA and it connected successfully it said. However, despite discovery being enabled no new devices or entities show up. Same after restarting Home Assistant.
Am I missing a step? Where do I need to look?

Did you enable HA support in Z2M?

On spot mate! That was exactly it, thank you very much! I had to take so many puzzle pieces from so many different tutorials that I must have overlooked that. Thanks!
