I am trying to integrate a Tasmota device (WattWächter) into Home Assistant and the documentation seems outdated, confusing and not helpful.
Tasmota devices configured for native discovery (SetOption19 0).
So what kind of instruction is that? What should I do? Where is the link with the details?
It seems that all this is obsolete and not applicable anymore.

I have an energy sensor and what I want to get in Home Assistant is the energy in kWH over time.
Getting the last reboot time of my sensor device might be a nice gimmick but seems pretty useless for me at the moment.
I also did setup MQTT in Tasmota and can see in the Tasmota logs that it the proper data is sent via MQTT.
I can also see that Mosquito MQTT in Home Assistant is receiving connections from my device but I cannot see any data.
The logs are not saying anything if actually data was received or what data was received. Just that a connection was seen - no info whether it was successful or not.
I activated debug logging for my sensor in Home Assistant but can not find helpful information in the logs. Only crazy internal dev warnings like
Failed to load integration for translation: Invalid domain homeassistant.scene

Additional information
Sorry for my frustration, but this is not what I would call smart home at all.
This is all sophisticated but fully low-level stuff. You need a PhD to setup basic things. Not what I would call UX.
I am fully aware that you do not owe me anything. This is OSS so thanks for all your time and investment.
I am a very active OSS developer (in Java) myself and welcome feedback for my work.
So this is my feedback for your work. Take it or ignore it... Your choice...
