MQTT not working in HomeAssistant #804

R0SSI89 · 2023-10-04T09:07:14Z

I can't get the MQTT working with Home Assistant. I get the following error in the HomeAssistant logs. This happens when I add new alias in the milight interface.

Home Assistant log output:

Additional context

First time using this and it would be great if I get it working (if I find some time I will provide some updates to the wiki)

i get the same error

sidoh · 2023-10-04T16:00:30Z

Hey @R0SSI89 and @bluebier, which version of HomeAssistant are you guys using? I'm guessing this field was added in recently. I had hoped it'd add a link to the config page in the HA UI but it didn't, so probably safe to remove it.

KRiZ-R · 2023-10-04T16:24:43Z

Hi @sidoh,
first time user here, and I have the same issue.
I am using the latest version of Home Assistant:

Home Assistant 2023.9.3
Supervisor 2023.09.2
Operating System 10.5
Frontend-versie: 20230911.0 - latest

R0SSI89 · 2023-10-04T16:38:53Z

@sidoh I added the HA version information in the issue, but it's the latest. I saw a lot of changes in the MQTT in HA, not sure if this could be the issue (I'm not a programmer, but a system engineer).

sidoh · 2023-10-04T17:53:31Z

Thanks, guys. Will take a look. I'm also on 2023.9, so a little strange that I'm not seeing it.

sidoh · 2023-10-04T17:54:52Z

Oh wait, this is showing up for me too, but it's a warning. Is it not a warning for you guys?

R0SSI89 · 2023-10-04T17:58:16Z

Yeah you're correct, so I guess not a bug.. Maybe a misconfiguration, but where :(

sidoh · 2023-10-04T18:05:22Z

Do you see an entry in Settings > Devices for espMH? It should be named the same thing as what you have the hostname configured to.

If you do, can you show me a screenshot of what yo usee there?

KRiZ-R · 2023-10-04T18:23:22Z

Yes it is a warning in the logs.
It does not add the device under Settings > Devices

sidoh · 2023-10-04T18:53:41Z

Gotcha. That's likely the cause. Will try to reproduce and get back to you guys.

R0SSI89 · 2023-10-04T19:52:20Z

For me it isn't either not showing under Settings > Devices.

R0SSI89 · 2023-10-04T19:56:38Z

Not suer if it helps, but these log lines appear in the Mosquito Broker logs when I remove a paired bulb and add it again (using the same device ID and group as the remote).

R0SSI89 · 2023-10-04T19:59:45Z

Ow and changed the MQTT state topic pattern to (compared to the settings provided when I created the issue):

milight/states/:hex_device_id/:device_type/:group_id

R0SSI89 · 2023-10-04T20:02:21Z

I got a notification about a new update: 2023.10.0. Should I try this update?

garmck · 2023-10-04T20:18:52Z

Do you see an entry in Settings > Devices for espMH? It should be named the same thing as what you have the hostname configured to.

This happened to me last weekend after I decided to start fresh, but hadnt got round to troubleshooting. (also shows IP adddress for URL)
@sidoh I suspect this is broken for new/fresh installs - I also suspect it wont add new aliases showing up for existing working installs.

garmck · 2023-10-04T20:20:54Z

I got a notification about a new update: 2023.10.0. Should I try this update?

I suspect it wont take @sidoh long to resolve this. But if you urgently need it working, you can manually add your lights using the MQQT Light component https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/light.mqtt/#json-schema---examples

R0SSI89 · 2023-10-04T20:29:30Z

I'm not in a rush, I've got it "working" via the official Wifi box, but I want to make it a little smarter ;)

Thanks for the quick responses!

sidoh · 2023-10-04T22:37:20Z

Taking a peek now. Thanks all for the extra info.

Don't expect a new version of HomeAssistant will help anything. I think I just mangled the discovery json a bit. (in my defense, the docs are kind of hard to parse).

garmck · 2023-10-04T23:07:05Z

Here's how another integration shows in MQTT

This is the current MiLight MQTT

sidoh · 2023-10-04T23:09:54Z

Yeah, o is supposed to be a supported abbreviation of origin according to the docs. Maybe all of these fields need to be filled out? In any case, I couldn't really figure out what the function of this data was, so I just removed it.

I'd hoped it would add a link in the device dashboard to the config page, but it didn't have that effect.

sidoh · 2023-10-04T23:10:39Z

I believe this guy will fix the problem: #805

I tagged a beta release. Will publish that when the build finishes for you guys to try out.

sidoh · 2023-10-04T23:26:54Z

https://github.com/sidoh/esp8266_milight_hub/releases/tag/1.11.1-beta1 give this guy a try

garmck · 2023-10-05T00:11:58Z

Just loaded this version and can confirm the MQTT discovery is now adding devices as expected for myself.

R0SSI89 · 2023-10-05T04:38:56Z

Will try the beta tonight (I'm from the Netherlands). Thanks @Sidon 😄

KRiZ-R · 2023-10-05T05:31:04Z

Just did a quick test before getting ready to work, and it works!
It shows new devices immediately.
Thank you!

sidoh · 2023-10-05T06:39:57Z

Nice, thanks for confirming, guys! I'll merge this and cut a release. LMK know if there are any issues :)

sidoh · 2023-10-05T08:32:46Z

Fixed in 1.11.1! Thanks everyone for the thorough reports.

(no difference in 1.11.1-beta1 and 1.11.1 except the version tag/metadata.)

R0SSI89 · 2023-10-05T20:43:57Z

Thank you, it works now!

Remove origin key from discovery payload, which is apparently wrong? #805
