I'm using the H801 with ESPurna 1.9.5 and Home Assistant 0.54.0. Normal mqtt
platform is working, but I want to use mqtt_json to enable transitions and flashing (See MQTT JSON Light)
Can I enable it or is it not implemented?

The other way would be to use MQTT auto-discover feature. But how to do that? I tried to send a discovery message over webinterface, but no "event has been fired" like they say in their docs (See MQTT discovery).

@xoseperez I also tried to configure the auto-discovery feature, but it does not work right now. I just want to know is it just me or the feature is incomplete?
Thanks.

HA auto-discovery has been fixed and improved in the current dev branch. I'd like to release it tomorrow as 1.9.6.

I will be the first to try and give feedback. Thanks for the amazing work.

Released.
Please note you have to have the "Use CSS style" option to off so ESPurna generates "red,green,blue" style color messages that Home Automation understands.
