Hi, i am running home assistant 2025.4.3.
I addedan ESP home device that reads 2 contacts and publish the value via mqtt.
in mqtt explorer i see the values changing. I added a yaml configuration for the 2 values, based on the topics I see in mqtt explorer.
- name: "pondWaterLevelHigh"
unique_id : pondwaterlevelhigh
state_topic: "DUMSHOME/PondWaterLevelControler/binary_sensor/levelhigh/state"
- name: "pondWaterLevelLow"
unique_id : pondwaterlevellow
state_topic: "DUMSHOME/PondWaterLevelControler/binary_sensor/levellow/state"
In my entities i see the 2 entoties as binary_sensor.pondwaterlevelhigh and binary_sensor.pondwaterlevellow.
Fort the 2 entities, when clicking on them, I see an error “The entity is unavailable”.
I am not able the use these entities in either a dashboard, nor in an Automation.
What Am I missing here ?
