I can confirm these errors happening in my instance, too. No idea what this means, though.

By coincidence, I was debugging this issue just minutes ago, as I see it also for some time, and it is very annoying.
So, story here is simple.
If HA integration is enable and something else, beside Z2M published to topics "homeassistant/sensor/XXZ", where XXZ is not z2m entity (in my case HA itself is publishing this, as in MQTT I have enabled "mqtt_statestream"), then we get this message (in lib/extension/publish.ts:137), although topic is reported wrongly, as it reports parsed topic, and because entity is unknown, result of parsing isn't very clear to understand :)

@Koenkk, I think this part needs some redesign. We can't expect that Z2M to be sole publisher to "homeassistant/".

[antst]

as a short term solution, I suggest to change this one from logger.error to logger.warn

[Koenkk]

Could you provide your z2m configuration.yaml and the debug log of this?

See this on how to enable debug logging.

[antst]

I can do better, I can give repro :)
just publish anything to the topic homeassistant/sensor/bla-bla-bla when z2m config has:

homeassistant:
  legacy_entity_attributes: false
  legacy_triggers: true

the only requirement is that "bla-bla-bla" should not be name of any existent z2m entity.

[Koenkk]

I cannot reproduce it, debug logging when I do it:

[2024-04-25 21:56:46] debug: 	z2m: Received MQTT message on 'homeassistant/sensor/bla-bla-bla' with data ''

Can you provide your debug log?

Same issue here but adding

advanced:
  log_debug_to_mqtt_frontend: true

issue this in HA:
Integration error: advanced - Integration 'advanced' not found.

Here is my log.txt fil, hope it helps.

[dingausmwald]

same for me with switch, not sensor

[ytugarev]

In my setup this error appears to be related to thermostat valves (both Bosch and Danfoss) , after homeassistant/sensor/valve address/setpoint_change_source/config'.

[BWFCGUIXT]

@ytugarev can confirm that I also have Danfoss in my home, so maybe it's somehow related.

[theDiverDK]

@BWFCGUIXT and @ytugarev

I also have Danfoss Ally thermostats.

I have 8 of them.

And i get 8 times the error within same second, and 2 seconds later i get another 8 times the same error.

So you might be on to something.

[sebastienserre]

No Danfoss but Aqara SRTS-A01 on my side.

[aperezva]

The same, Aqara on my side

[timmo65]

I posted earlier and have 6x that error message and also have 6x Trvs - 3 are Hive (rebranded Danfoss) and 3 Sonoff TRVSBs - so looks like that might be where to look.

Same problem after restore full backup HassOS:

[Koenkk]

Fixed!

Changes will be available in the dev branch in a few hours from now.

[cracyfloyd]

For me it isnt solved. (1.39.1)
same for me with lights.
After a short time the state goes to unknown. after a touch on button in the ui i get the right state. after few minutes or seconds th state goes unknown again.
