No devices or entities

[FlexxFR]

Installed successfully but the integration will not detect any MQTT values.

Not sure how to troubleshoot, or what I need to configure as device ID.

I have running:

Have the same issue, any guidance much appreciated

Same issue here, all coms are working, mqtt is working and getting data but nothing on Grott but no devices or entities

My issue was with the ShineLan box itself, not faulty or configured wrongly but not capable of handling the large amounts of ethernet traffic associated with the many devices on my network.

To get around this I configured my OpenWrt router to provide a separate interface dedicated purely to the Shinelan box which isolated it from the other traffic.

The clue was the slow response time of the box, either via browser or "ping" suggesting the Shinelan is poor at handling large amounts of unrelated IP ID's

Be interested to hear other experiences with this.

This is really interesting, about a year or so ago my ShineLan box just had a complete meltdown, I tried debugging with all sorts of things and ended up switching over to a Wifi Dongle which has worked flawlessly ever since. I think there is something particularly weird about the shinelan box (which is weird given you'd think that a hardwired connection would be more stable) in that it is VERY slow to respond over the network.
I realised it wasn't Grott at fault when I pointed it all back to the shinelan servers and it was just as unreliable!
Before your post above I had always just assumed it was a 'me' problem, never considered others were in the same boat.

Indeed you were not alone.

Also congrats to GROTT is runs amazingly well 🙏

I wish I could take the credit all I really did was document it and write a nice integration for home assistant. All the hard work was done for me already.
