ESPresense - MQTT-Room - help for Sensor in HA

Hello Community,

i’m doing some experiments with an ESP32 and room presence and struggel to set up the sensor in home assistant right.
Everthing is setup, ESPresense makes a mqtt room topic in espresense/rooms. In my case it is ‘arbeitszimmer’. In the topic i can see the json with the id of the ha companion app.
(arbeitszimmer = {“id”:“iBeacon:8f3328a6-eacc-4f4a-8219-4bf04990b1b0-100-1”,“rssi”:"-60" and so on}
As i read in the docs the following sensor should be used:

- platform: mqtt_room
  device_id: "8f3328a6eacc4f4a82194bf04990b1b0-100-1"                     
  name: 'ibeacon_galaxy_s21'
  state_topic: 'espresense/rooms'
  timeout: 10
  away_timeout: 15

device_id should be the uuid without “-” and at the end -major-minor, -100-1 in my case. But the sensor is always ‘not_home’ and the distance is null, i think something is not right with my configuration.
Maybe anybody has a hint what i am doing wrong?

Thanks Mike
