    Hi!
    https://youtu.be/pkcspey25V4?si=U_SkQOsi39FEBart

    HA discovery does not work for me. Maybe Home Assistant itself needs to have something else installed?
    I have the MQTT plugin configured in HA to use Mosquitto Broker. And I can add devices to the dashboard using manual YAML configuration and it's working fine.
    I did all you described in the video but the new device did not appear in the dashboard automatically.
    I see there is a Home Assistant topic in the MQTT Explorer with sensors and switches, so Beken gives it to MQTT but looks like HA does not listen to it.
    Any thoughts?

    Thank you!
    AI: Could you please specify the versions of Home Assistant and Mosquitto Broker you are using?
    Home Assistant 2023.4.6
    Mosquitto 2.0.15
    AI: Can you share more details about your MQTT plugin configuration in Home Assistant? For example, any specific settings or options you have enabled.
    Nothing specific. Plain connect using login and password

    The problem was the name of the device that contained not allowed characters (parentheses)
