MQTT message config about hassio-zigbee2mqtt HOT 2 CLOSED

But if you are using HomeAssistant its preferable to start all topics concerning HA start with homeassistant with autodiscovery otherwise it will check all the data over the MQTT, also MQTT what is not needed for HA. So my situation in HA is that autodiscovery works only with topics starting with homeassistant. When I change the base topic to mqtt_base_topic": "homeassistant-zigbee2mqtt then autodiscovery doesn't work anymore.

Edit: Just notice that the topic prefix is not the topicname but just an prefix and so your solution should work

Edit: Just tested and it works in this way

@DyArt this is a bug on how MQTT topics are parsed here: https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/blob/master/lib/controller.js#L341 which assumes you have the command in third spot for config messages.

You can get around this by using "mqtt_base_topic": "homeassistant-zigbee2mqtt" instead of what you're currently using.

@Koenkk I think there should be a restriction to avoid users using / in their base_topic and throw an error on startup.
