Hi all,
I’m a bit lost on this one… dug through similar topics, but no luck.
I read in my weather station data from CumulusMX into Home Assistant via MQTT. Works fine in principle, but when I reboot the system, all sensors turn to ‘Unknown’.
The data still arrives as far as I can tell (from the timestamp) from the MQTT explorer:
The first time setting it up I followed the (supposedly wrong?) docs and created a ‘homeassistant’ login for MQTT. When it stopped working no steps I found in other threads worked, so I deleted the MQTT integration and the integration and re-installed. This time following the advice and NOT creating a login, but rather a mqtt user in HA. The entities were re-discovered and reconnected to the previous data, but I had to remake the dashboard, which is quite annoying given the number of sensors.
Few hours ago I shut down the system temporarily and the sensors are Unknown again.
Does anyone have any clue how that might be solved? Re-installing everything after every reboot is obviously not an option. Especially since I plan to have the system reboot every night.
Home Assistant OS is running in a VM on Proxmox on a Raspberry Pi 5, which also runs CumulusMX directly in the RaspiOS.
I have the suspicion that may somehow be the cause of the problem, but I don’t even know what I’m doing half of the time with Linux.
