Unable to save configuration

[jeffdeal]

I've updated an operational installation today, and when I try to start the add-on am getting the following error:

value must be one of ['critical', 'debug', 'info', 'none', 'warning'].

I looked at the config, and the verbosity was set to "normal" which is not in this list. But when I try to change it to one of the other defined values, I can't save it and get the following message:

Failed to save add-on configuration, does not match regular expression (^0|^(0[xX])?[A-Fa-f0-9]+:(0[xX])?[A-Fa-f0-9]+$). Got {'general': {'sleep_for': 300, 'verbosity': 'info', 'device_id': 'single', 'rtltcp_host': '127.0.0.1:1234', 'listen_only': False, 'tickle_rtl_tcp': False}, 'mqtt': {'host': '127.0.0.1', 'port': 1883, 'ha_autodiscovery_topic': 'homeassistant', 'ha_status_topic': 'hass/status', 'base_topic': 'rtlamr', 'ha_autodiscovery': True, 'tls_enabled': False}, 'custom_parameters': {'rtltcp': '-s 2048000', 'rtlamr': '-unique=true'}, 'meters': [{'id': 1704641, 'protocol': 'scm', 'name': '18_gas_meter', 'for...

I can't tell what is wrong. Does anybody have ideas?

Try to use the latest config file format:
https://github.com/allangood/rtlamr2mqtt/blob/main/rtlamr2mqtt-addon/app/rtlamr2mqtt.yaml

general:
  sleep_for: 300
  verbosity: info

You need to set device_id: in the general section. Prior to 2025.6.1, it was device_id: single, but 2025.6.1 requires the device ID to be a number i.e. "001:002". I think it can also be set to 0.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have managed to update the config file now, but am getting the error:

[2025-06-02 15:34:56,494] INFO:Connecting to MQTT broker at 127.0.0.1:1883
[2025-06-02 15:34:56,540] CRITICAL:Failed to connect to MQTT broker: [Errno 111] Connection refused

Here is some of my configuration:

general:
sleep_for: 300
verbosity: debug
device_id: "0"
rtltcp_host: 127.0.0.1:1234
mqtt:
host: 127.0.0.1
port: 1883
ha_autodiscovery_topic: homeassistant
ha_status_topic: hass/status
base_topic: rtlamr
tls_enabled: false
custom_parameters:
rtltcp: "-s 2048000"
rtlamr: "-unique=true"

I'm running Home Assistant with the Mosquitto add-on. Other stuff that uses MQTT is still working.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Change the host line under mqtt to "core-mosquitto"

Thanks! Getting closer, here is what I see in the log now:

I don't see that it is hearing my configured devices yet. Thanks for taking a look at this, I appreciate your time and how much of a pain it is debugging other people's stuff.

No problem. You're at the same point the rest of us are now: #277

LOL, thanks for the info.
