Hi David,
I compared your config to mine. Looks like your [[topics]] is incorrectly
indented. It needs to be indented in at the indentation of "username".
Below is my config that is working.
Mike
[MQTTSubscribeService]
enable = True
stop_on_validation_errors = true
binding = loop
host = host
log = true
password = pwd
port = 1111
username = xxx
[[tls]]
enable = false
ca_certs = ""
certfile = None
certs_required = required
ciphers = None
keyfile = None
tls_version = tlsv12
[[message_callback]]
type = json
[[topics]]
unit_system = METRIC
[[[home/rtl_433/temperature/name/pool]]]
[[[[temperature]]]]
# The WeeWX name.
# Default is the name from MQTT.
name = extraTemp2
conversion_type = float
[[[[battery]]]]
ignore = true
[[[[time]]]]
ignore = true
