This was it. Thank you for the quick help.
Would be nice that the domoticz installer checks this

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Maybe I am wrong, but I checked the next:

First, my domoticz logfile says:
Status: PluginSystem: Failed dynamic library load, install the latest libpython3.x library that is available for your platform

Checking my RPI system:

Hey all,

The MQTT configuration and sensor anouncement was already working. It is just that the 'Counter Type' must be set to 'Custom' manually in domoticz when you want the counter to be dimension less. It would be nice to do this inside the MQTT configuration.
But, once set ...

Hey there,

I have a MQTT auto discovery sensor system. Works well for the common sensors.

But....
I have a machine now rotating 5 /min with a pulse counter attached, so 5 pulses/min if it is rotating. When I announce the sensor to domoticz as "counter", it indeed creates the counter sensor, but ...

I believe this can be solved by setting retained mqtt messages on. Downside is that after deleting of the device and not deleting the retained mqtt message you get the deleted device back in Domoticz :)


The ha docs specifically State not to use retained mesaages for this Reason. Any other ...
