[MQTT] Presence sensor type not set correctly

[jokob-sk]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing open and closed issues and I checked the docs https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/tree/main/docs

Current Behavior

The sensor type setting is not taken into account

Expected Behavior

Be able to change the sensor type and for it to be reflected

Steps To Reproduce

1. Save settings
2. Sensor type will be blank

app.conf

No response

docker-compose.yml

No response

What branch are you running?

Production

app.log

No response

Debug enabled

• I have read and followed the steps in the wiki link above and provided the required debug logs and the log section covers the time when the issue occurs.

Possible workaround (to be confirmed):

Insert

PRESENCE_SENSOR_TYPE='device_tracker'

or

PRESENCE_SENSOR_TYPE='binary_sensor'

into your app.conf, alternatively, try to download the netalertx-dev image and re-save the settings.

Switched to the netalertx-dev image, re-applied settings and now it created the binary_sensor.
HomeAssistant picked up the data.

Thanks!
