Add this to your configuration.yaml file:

logger:
  default:warning
  logs:
    homeassistant.components.mqtt: info
    homeassistant.components.python_script: debug

restart HA, run an announce automation and attach here the log file.

Hi @bieniu,

I think I solved the problem. I updated the firmware on those devices (to 1.14) and after an HA restart I don't get the WARNING anymore.

I would like to ask you another questions if possible.
I have 4/5 shelly devices added a year ago that I dismissed and that are not connected anymore, but I don't find any way to remove them from HA.
Do you know some way for doing this?
I've already removed all shelly topics on my mqtt broker for these devices.

Thanks
Marco

You shouldn’t see those warnings with Shellies Discovery 4.5.3 and firmware 1.13.x. I suppose that your entity configuration comes from older Shellies Discovery. You can check that in MQTT Info section.

Do you know some way for doing this?

Thanks @bieniu

I removed the devices.
