Consumption_heatpump value with external MQTT message problems

[nash1975]

First of all, many many thanks for this great update.
It makes a lot of things much easier for controlling my daikin E-Series heatpump.

I have 1 issue right now.

I would like to import MQTT messages from my external power meter.
I managed my related ESP-home device to publish under the right topic.
(See attached screenshot)
But the "consumption_heatpump" entity is still showing zero.
Any thoughts?

Your're welcome! And sorry for the docu bug, I just fixed the topic in the documentation: the correct topic is P1P2/P/meter/U/9/Electricity_Power.

There is also a time-out of 60s, so the power consumption must be (re)published at least every 60s.

Alternatively you can change the topic listened to, via telnet or P1P2/W with command P35 P1P2/P/meter/bridge0/Electricity_Power followed by D5 to save and D4 or D0 to resubscribe.

Seems to work now.
But I directly ran into this timeout issue.
But this I can fix on my client device via ESPhome.

Thanks for the quick response
