LSC Led strip vs mqtt with tasmota

I bought this ledstrip and I’ve been trying all night to add it to HA with mqtt, but I’m not getting it to work and could use some help.

The ledstrip is flashed with Tasmota and the Tasmota webpage is visible/accessible and I’ve configured the ledstrip for mqtt. The tasmota info page looks like this:

In Home Assistant I’ve setup the Mosquitto Addon (following the instructions on the addon page)
I’ve added a mqtt user (‘mosquitto’) and in the mqtt logs I see the ledstrip connecting:

1578187143: New client connected from 192.168.1.243 as DVES_60C468 (p2, c1, k30, u'mosquitto').

I’ve also added the Broker in ‘Configuration, Integrations -> mqtt’ by adding the ip address, port, user & pw. This now shows in the integrations list as: MQTT:192.168.1.239 (But says the integration has no devices.)

In my configuration.yaml I’ve added this:

mqtt:
  broker: 192.168.1.239  

_{(is it correct that if this is missing the mqtt option is not in the developter tools?)}

For the light itself I used this:

light:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Ledstrip_Zolder"
    command_topic: "cmnd/Ledstrip_Zolder/POWER"
    state_topic: "stat/Ledstrip_Zolder/RESULT"
    state_value_template: "{{ value_json.POWER }}"
    availability_topic: "tele/Ledstrip_Zolder/LWT"
    brightness_command_topic: "cmnd/Ledstrip_Zolder/Dimmer"
    brightness_state_topic: "stat/Ledstrip_Zolder/RESULT"
    brightness_value_template: "{{value_json.Dimmer}}"
    brightness_scale: 100
    on_command_type: "brightness"
    rgb_command_topic: "cmnd/Ledstrip_Zolder/Color"
    rgb_state_topic: "stat/Ledstrip_Zolder/RESULT"
    rgb_value_template: "{{value_json.Color.split(',')[0:3]|join(',')}}"
    effect_command_topic: "cmnd/Ledstrip_Zolder/Scheme"
    effect_state_topic: "stat/Ledstrip_Zolder/RESULT"
    effect_value_template: "{{value_json.Scheme}}"
    effect_list:
      - 0
      - 1
      - 2
      - 3
      - 4
    payload_on: "ON"
    payload_off: "OFF"
    payload_available: "Online"
    payload_not_available: "Offline"
    qos: 1
    retain: false

In the Developer tools under States I can see the ledstrip (light.ledstrip.zolder), but the state is always ‘unavailable’ and I cannot control it. And I can’t figure out what is going wrong, simply because I have no knowledge of where to look…any help would be much appreciated
