MQTT discovery, do I use correct config??

[roelof4]

Hi All,
I am running a Vaillant heatpump system with the following components as discovered by ebusd:

roelof4@raspberrypi:~ $ ebusctl scan result
08;Vaillant;HMU00;0902;5103
15;Vaillant;CTLV2;0514;1104
76;Vaillant;VWZIO;0202;0103
ec;Vaillant;SOL00;0514;1104

The heatpump is an Arotherm Plus 5kW, hooked up to a VWZIO controller, thermostat (CTLV2) and something that broadcasts. I am using the following ebusd arguments:

EBUSD_OPTS="--scanconfig=full --configpath=/home/pi/ebusd-configuration -d /dev/ttyAMA0 --latency=60
-l /var/log/myebus.log --mqtthost=homeassistant.local
--mqttport=1883 --mqttjson --mqttint=/etc/ebusd/mqtt-hassio.cfg
--mqttuser=mqtt-user --mqttpass=******"

The devices listed above are visible on the mqtt_explorer as shown by the following screen shot:

I didn't change the contents of the mqtt-hassio.cfg. Homeassistant is acting as mqtt broker running on a separate Raspberry Pi.

My question: I don't see any parameters being passed to the mqtt broker, why?

Is there something wrong with my ebusd configuration (wrong files ..., how to check?).

I did a config check and dump (see below):

A bit lost now, but I am sure that someone out there has the magic answer ....

Thanks!

OK, learning and learning .....

From the ebusctl scan result it is clear that no config files are loaded. I removed the local reference to configuration files and went for the default approach.
Now I have got something ... 👍
