security 1.0 ratdgo mqtt door lock challenges for homeassistant

[shbertin]

hey team,
hear me out, been trying to figure this out, and i'm at my wits end here. I thought I'm close, but maybe not.

here's the situation:
I have two garage doors, one is with a yellow button (we don't have to talk about that one anymore as it's on esphome and working as expected)
the second one is with a purple button and only supports the mqtt (hence my dilemma).

I also have homeassistant and hubitat and so here in-lies my issue.
with mqtt and homeassistant, everything seems to work as expected, upon discovery, it shows

--- that is working fine (so long as mqtt server stays on line (another issue for another day).

with hubitat, i've also got it setup to utilize the mqtt server as I want the lock functionality as I set a schedule to lock both my doors overnight.

this is working as expected, and sometimes fails, and I need to reset the entire db. Needless to say, i was trying to get everything connected through homeassistant and here is where I need some assistance as I've been playing with this for over a couple of days.

I went into the configuration.yaml in homeassistant and created the following:

when i run the entity, it goes and uses the hubitat code and is able to successfully lock the garage door, but when I go to use it and try to add it to a dashboard I get the following error:

the funny part though, is that it is working as expected, so I thought I was there:

I have been trying through multiple iterations to get it to work with mqtt through homeassistant itself (removing hubitat from the picture) and not had any success:

i'm not sure if anyone has done this before, and/or has any advice to provide, but i'm all ears. i can share more of what i've done if anyone is interested on the hubitat side of things as well.

Thank you kindly,
Shawn

Security + 1.0 support was added to ESPHome in January.

I would suggest switching to ESPHome if you are using Home Assistant.
