Hello, first post here. I have installed openbekkeniot firmware onto my smart plug device and connected it to homeassistant and I am happy with how simple it was. But I noticed that when I ran the HA discovery, it added 4 'diagnostic' topics for things like temperature, rssi. Now it is bothering...

Do you have flag 10 ([MQTT] Broadcast self state on MQTT connect) enabled?

I do have that flag set. Since I posted I got a single update of the data, possibly from when I moved it to another outlet. So it is showing valid values now. But I was hoping to get more constant updates of the temperature for example. Is it only going to update when the plug is first plugged into mains power?

But I noticed that when I ran the HA discovery, it added 4 'diagnostic' topics for things like temperature, rssi. Now it is bothering me that the topics just say "unknown". Is there some setting I am missing to send the data on these topics?

I am creating multiplatform open source firmware (Tasmota replacement), right now supporting BK7231T, BK7231N, XR809, BL602, W800, W600, LN882H and soon supporting RTL and W701:
