X10 Mochad to MQTT Gateway Addon

[Montreal666]

Thanks for the feedback; you are right, it does work despite the log error.

some observations:

• I didn’t need the Mochad add-on from FloridaMan7588; I just have mochad on a separate Linux Vbox and the standard HA Mochad integration. So not sure what the other add-on purpose is?

• documentation says “State is saved for switch, light, and sensor”; not sure what this means but state doesn’t survive restart (becomes “unknown”) which I believe is the standard HA behavior when state is not reported or a new command issued. This is something debated over the forum ; users (including me) asking to optionally maintain last known state:

Retain last state change data of a sensor after reboot

I would really like to see the last state change of an entity retained through a reboot. My use case: I have a binary sensor talking to a remote Hikvision camera’s PIR motion in my mother’s apartment. I know I can drill down into the state history, but it would really be nice to know that the at a glance “12 minutes ago” is an accurate indication of last motion detected, and not just the time since the last reboot. Thanks.
