What trick am I missing with rtl_433 and MQTT? (feddit.uk)

I'm hoping it's just something stupid.

I've been playing around with rtl_433 for a while, and started making decoders for various bits of kit I have. When I run things on a laptop, with the same dongle, I pick things up no problem.

Yesterday, I tried to start integrating it with HASS. I installed this 433 wrapper, and Mosquitto Broker.

The 433 wrapper seems to work, and devices are decoded in the log when I use a generic config. But when I use one that pushes to MQTT, nothing shows up in the 433 logs other than the connection to MQTT, and nothing seems to be logged on the MQTT.

I vaguely remember reading that the simple Mosquitto broker only had a limited set of devices supported, but I can't seem to find where I read that now :|
