What happened

imcomplete exposition of cover
I installed cover switch (TS130F) on raspberry

Expose (read from zigbee2mqtt in sidebar)

cover_1
state Close ? open
position
moving
calibration
backlight_mode
motor_reversal
linkquality

in configuration entities I have

name                      Entity ID                                Integration
cover 1                   cover.cover_1                            MQTT
cover 1 backlight.mode    sensor.cover_1backlight.mode             MQTT
cover 1 calibration       binary_sensor.cover_1_calibration        MQTT
cover 1 linkquality       sensor.cover_1_linkquality               MQTT
cover 1 motor reversal    binary_sensor.cover_1_motor_reversal     MQTT
cover 1 moving            sensor.cover_1_moving                    MQTT

All was correct I can move cover directly from zigbee2mqtt in sidebar or lovelace

What did you expect to happen

I transferred my hassio to a debian 10 nuc (ACEPC AK1) and recovered a snapshot (ha supervised in docker)
All work fine except
My exposition in zigbee2mqtt is the same and I can move directly cover with state open close
But
in configuration entities the first line is unavailable (red circle with arrow)

name                      Entity ID                                Integration  Statut
cover 1                   cover.cover_1                            MQTT          (!)
cover 1 backlight.mode    sensor.cover_1backlight.mode             MQTT
cover 1 calibration       binary_sensor.cover_1_calibration        MQTT
...

If I delete the zigbee device and join it again I don’t recover the first line but recover the other 5

I tried to replace zig-a-zig-ah with CC2531 the problem remains the same

I am trying to do a manual configuration for the line
cover 1 cover.cover_1 MQTT
I write in home assistant configuration.yaml

cover:
  - platform: mqtt                                                 #692
    availability_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/bridge/state"
    command_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/cover_1/set"
    position_template: "{{ value_json.position }}"
    set_position_template: "{ \"position\": {{ position }} }"
    set_position_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/cover_1/set"
    position_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/cover_1
#------
  - platform: template
 ...

Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: while parsing a block mapping
in “/config/configuration.yaml”, line 692, column 5
expected , but found ‘’
in “/config/configuration.yaml”, line 705, column 25

can i mix discovery and manual configuration ?

Someone can help me to write corrects lines
Thanks

You can. But based on the error on line 692, I suspect you have the line

cover:

2 times in your configuration.yaml

Hi Francis,
thank you for your remarks, which moved me to a write error !

No, I don’t have this line twice but I found the error:
When I opened the file with file editor in HA, I saw that the character (") had disappeared at the end of the line.

availability_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/bridge/state

It appeared however well in notepad ++ which I usually use

but to work I had to indicate the real address of the shutters

  - platform: mqtt
    name: cover 1
    availability_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/bridge/state"
    command_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/0x804b50fffe2bf9ec/set"
    position_template: "{{ value_json.position }}"
    set_position_template: "{ \"position\": {{ position }} }"
    set_position_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/0x804b50fffe2bf9ec/set"
    position_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/0x804b50fffe2bf9ec"

Hi,
Now I tried with pi4+ sdd, same problem. No or incomplete exposition
It is with the snapshot made from pi3 SD who works fine that I have problems with nuc or pi 4 + ssd. Is it a speed or timing problem?
zigbee2mqtt would not communicate well with home assistant in these cases
What do you think ?

I don’t think it’s either of listed potential reasons. I would say it’s discovery issue and/or in conjunction with rollback issue.
Have you performed restart of zigbee2mqtt alone? It usually fixes issues with HA entities.

Hi Maxim, thank you for your answer…
I do a fresh install of HA and add zigbee2mqtt + mqtt. Now it works
