MQTT Shims Error - No action template

[tornado]

Hi there,

Getting my feet wet with MQTT - thanks so much for your plugins here.

Getting this error when I try to get the status of an MQTT shim device:
`MQTT Shims Error MQTT-House South Garage: actionControlDevice: no action template`

I'm not sure what an action template is or where I set it...

Here is my setup for it (attached).

Any suggestion what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
Joe

Yeah, OK. In general, sensors don't do actions, so there's no template for that. The fact that it allows for a status request is a bug.

More importantly, don't use MQTT for communicating with Home Assistant. Use the Home Assistant Agent plugin instead. It's much better. It also doesn't require the MQTT integration in Home Assistant.

Fantastic - thanks for the tip.
