I think it would be good if we could confirm if Home Assistant is expecting ints or floats for battery percentages. I haven't found docs or code yet confirming one...

Good thought! My sensors all update fairly frequently with different values. Can you check to see if rtl_433 is sending the value to mqtt? My first guess is we may...

There's open discussions about this at https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433/pull/2102 and https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io/pull/23900.

> first comment, it seems like force update for all 433 auto discovered devices is a pretty blunt control. Does this wind up generating state updates in hass / recorder...

Ah! We can expose expire-after perhaps: https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433/blob/master/examples/rtl_433_mqtt_hass.py#L747

To reflect back: 1. You have a single NESDR radio. 2. When running rtl_433, you are using frequency hopping to get data from different sensors. 3. Your home assistant automation...

@morbidpete if you can, I would run your radio directly with https://github.com/hertzg/rtl_433_docker (or rtl_433 itself) outside of your home assistant instance, against `master`. That way we can know if it's...

Is there anything else running that could possibly be using the device? https://github.com/hertzg/rtl_433_docker/discussions/34 I see others mentioning needing to blacklist the DVB module. However, if you're running HAOS that shouldn't...

Would you consider filing a pull request upstream for this? https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433/blob/master/examples/rtl_433_mqtt_hass.py is where this lives.
