Did you test the changes? When I look at the file the items I had updated are not changed:

File: HASSintegrMQTT.py (directory home/pi/env/autonom)

I modified the HASSintegrMQTT.py in 2 places (line 325 and 329)

where i changed the "retained=False" to "retained=True".

So far it has worked. will keep on monitoring.

I did a few rebooting of HomeAssistant and it is working fine,

HomeAssistant gets the "retained values" from Hydrosys4. So if you need

to resolve this issue make the modification i mentionned above.

Line 325:

def publish(self, topic, payload, qos=0, retained=True, properties=None): # change from False to True

self.clientobj.publish(topic, payload, qos, retained)

Line 329:

def publish_wait_QoS2(self, topic, payload, retained=True, properties=None): #change from False to True

infot=self.clientobj.publish(topic, payload, qos=2)

infot.wait_for_publish()

(rc, mid)=infot

print(self.clientid + " " + "Topic: " + topic + " Payload " + payload)

File: HASScompMatrix.py (directory home/pi/env/autonom)

I added the "force_update": True in the HASScompMatrix.py and it does work well -

now HA sensors are updated when a new mqtt payload comes in. Here's the

mod i did for the "sensor" section only (line 486 - add after line 490) :

Line 486:

payload={

"name":Name,

"device_class":sel_device_class,

"state_topic":state_topic,

"unit_of_measurement":unit_of_measurement,

"force_update": True

"value_template":"{{value_json['"+Name+"']}}",

"unique_id": device_name + "-" + Name

#"device":{"name":device_name,"model":"aa","manufacturer":"daje","identifiers":["hydrosys4"]}

}

return payload
