How to disable debug mode?

[pato-loco]

Hi,

In less then 3h I´ve got over 350.000 messages from the es-home-jk-bms on my MQTT broker.
Is it possible to disable the debug mode that there are no more messages forwarded to the /debug topic?
And is it possible to keep the query interval variable?

Thanks in advance!

You can control the log level globally and per component:

logger:
  level: DEBUG
  logs:
    api.service: WARN
    ota: WARN
    wifi: WARN
    sensor: DEBUG
    jk_bms_ble: INFO

I assume you are looking for something like this:

logger:
  level: ERROR

See https://esphome.io/components/logger.html

Another idea is to change the behavior of the mqtt component to keep the log messages locally:

mqtt:
  log_topic: "debug"
    level: ERROR

The configuration above is untested/guessed using the documentation: https://esphome.io/components/mqtt.html

[syssi]

Another important detail: The notification interval of the JK-BMS is static and cannot be changed (1-2 messages per second). The component can be configured to throw away most of the traffic/notifications/readings using the throttle option:

jk_bms_ble:
  - ble_client_id: client0
    protocol_version: ${protocol_version}
    throttle: 10s
    id: bms0

"logger:
level: ERROR"
&
"throttle: XXs"

Did the job. Thank you!

I also find out how I change the debug (topic_log) path and add a "last will".
Once I figure out how ESPHome works, I'm sure I'll figure out how to change the topic for the other messages.

One more point... In the YAML file I have commented out "API:". Nevertheless the topic homeassistant is created and used.
Is there another way to prevent this? I don't use HA and this is just an additional load on my MQTT broker.

[syssi]

The topic depends on the name of each sensor. The structure/hierarchy cannot be changed as far as I know.

You see the home assistant topic because it's part of the auto-discovery mechanism. If you disable the feature the messages shouldn't appear anymore:

mqtt:
  discovery: false

See https://esphome.io/components/mqtt.html

It works!
