here are the configuration and state messages observed by running mosquitto_sub to peek at mqtt traffic:

homeassistant/sensor/feeder_24hr_feeds/config {"unit_of_measurement": "", "state_topic": "homeassistant/sensor/feeder_24hr_feeds/state", "name": "Daily Feeds"}
homeassistant/sensor/feeder_24hr_feeds/state 13

and Home Assistant is receiving the messages, i see this in the logs:

2020-03-11 09:04:44 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.mqtt.discovery] Found new component: sensor feeder_24hr_feeds

but no sensor ever actually appears under dev_state. any idea why?
