Home Assistant not discovering D1 Mini Pro

[FutureTense]

I’m using this Aideepen WEMOS D1 Mini Pro - 16M Bytes External Antenna Connector ESP8266 WIFI IoT Board but Home Assistant is not discovering it. I know it’s connecting to my WiFi, because my router shows it and I can ping it.

What can I do to debug this?

Check to confirm that Home Assistant MQTT Discovery is enabled, and try monitoring your MQTT broker messages using MQTT Lens (or similar) to make sure the device is sending messages.

Hi, The automation is like the one on github. When I typed it in, I had typed state changes as ON and OFF in the relevant automations for the binary_sensor.carpresence and this is why I couldn't get the automations to work. It did take a while to track down, mainly because I'm feeling my way. I left the state changes for the cover (garage door) out of the automation as I don't have anything to check this state and also have remotes and a wireless button in the garage that can also change the state of the door. There seemed little point therefore at this stage in having them in the automation - I will add them later. Thanks for your help and sharing your project.
