I expect this has been brought up, I am probably searching for the wrong terms.
I can post from a rule and from an event to MQTT, but I setup an event to publish "uptime" and it sends 4 uptime messages, 1 with the actual value and 3 with 0.00.
Which is how it appears in the serial console (below)
Publishing with a rule, on the "UPTIME" event I only get one, which is correct. For the UPTIME device it is posting for the values with "None" in the output configuration.
Is this correct, known issue or.....

Code: Select all

Just change the output data type to "Single"

Yep, that should be good then.

Okay, I looked for something on that but did not see anything in the Readthedocs, but I have not figured out the structure yet, and the note seemed to discourage changing.

It works, Thank you, I am just used to "none" taking care of that one. Whatever works is good with me!

This is my first install since 146, so I have a lot of catching up to do..

The output selector on some plugins is a bit buggy still.
It was added since having just 4 values instead of one was also causing a lot more issues so therefore I added the selector.
Still not perfect as you can see.
