state not read for non-lighting application (irrigation) when switched

[arrikhan]

I have configured cgate<->cgateweb<->mqtt<->homeassitant and the lighting application entities setup with lights/switches/fans work flawlessly. Thanks for a great solution to connecting CBUS to the year >2000 :)

I have added entries in Home Assistant (HA) for irrigation 'application' exactly as I have with lighting application under switch but am seeing the toggle switch in HA turn back off again (even though device is still turned on).

Here is my configuration.yaml in HA.

` switch:

• platform: mqtt
  name: Doorbell GPO (CBUS)
  state_topic: "cbus/read/254/56/48/state"
  command_topic: "cbus/write/254/56/48/switch"
• platform: mqtt
  name: Front Lawn Irrigation (CBUS)
  state_topic: "cbus/read/254/113/101/state"
  command_topic: "cbus/write/254/113/101/switch"`

In MQTT Explorer I can run a getall (cbus/write/254/113//getall) on the irrigation application and it lists state/level exactly the same as the lighting application so I am confused why it doesn't retain state response when set by HA?

Does cgateweb subscribe to only the default application, rather than all applications for state changes? Turning on the irrigation through a cbus switch doesn't get recognised also.

from memory, i switched to cgate-mqtt (docker) as it allowed me to subscribe to all cbus applications.
