[TUTORIAL] Setting up MQTT on Homey for configuring Home Assistant for dashboard purposes

What solved it for me is:
1.Go to MQTT Hub
2. Set COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL to Custom
3. Enable Include class
4. Disable Include zone
5. Normalize

I think the last part is the giving the problem. I’ve noticed that the device.id gets screwed-up and is like switch.on whilst it only should be switch. Or simplified, the status of the device must not be in the device ID.

Perhaps this helps someone, I’ve just started setting it up.
