filter-name does not seem to work

[gbordier]

Hi,
First off, great thanks to John and all the supporting members here , this work is just fantastic.

I want to limit the messages that are published to MQTT to the strict minimum ( heatpump on/off status and exterior temperature for instance) , I don't seem to be able to do this with filter-name / filter-nonname.

I have created a very simple filter set to test in my mqtt-hassio.cfg
filter-seen = 5
filter-name = status
filter-non-name = z1
filter-level = ^$
filter-direction = r|u
filter-non-field = ^sensor$

I have restarted ebusd , pointing to the right file, no error at startup.
then I use mosquitto_sub to subscribe to an ebusd message:

mosquitto_sub -R -v -t ebusd/energymgr/z1_setpoint_temp

I then expect this to be excluded since z1 is supposed to be excluded.

I don't get what I am missing. any help ?

great Thanks
