Thanks for the report! It looks like the topic suffix /data.json would be missing? We will keep this as a note to eventually improve the error message and/or the documentation.

After adding the /data.json suffix, the data acquisition process works flawlessly.

I am stumbling upon devices from the manufacturer shelly where the last part of the realm is always expanded with /info or /settings, like realm/of/topic/data.json/info. Is for those devices a tweak in the config file possible?

[amotl]

Hi @wetterfrosch,

I responded to your report over at GH-163, where we are looking at unlocking support for Shelly devices.

With kind regards,
Andreas.
