Hey everyone, I wanted to share my recent journey with MQTT sensors and how I finally got everything working smoothly! 
I’ve been trying to set up an MQTT sensor using Mosquito (hass.io, 0.90.2) and it was a bit of a puzzle at first. I was publishing to a topic with a JSON payload, but the sensor kept showing “Unknown” in the frontend. After some digging, I realized the issue was with how I was structuring the value_template and json_attributes_topic. I ended up simplifying the setup, and now it’s working like a charm! 
Here’s a quick tip for anyone else struggling: make sure your JSON payload matches what your frontend expects, and double-check those topic names. A little trial and error went a long way! 
I’m now looking to expand this setup with multiple attributes. If anyone has experience with more complex JSON structures in MQTT, I’d love to hear your insights! 
On another note, I’ve been absolutely thrilled with my Govee RGB light strips. They’ve completely transformed my space, and the app integration is seamless. Highly recommend them! 
Looking forward to hearing about your projects and tips too! Let’s keep the smart home magic flowing!
