Hi all, gotta be close on this but keep getting this error. I found a couple of links to Github but the solution seemed to be a 2.4 mqtt issue. I am on 2.4 but using the old mqtt binding. In any case, this is what I get:
[2019-06-01 13:44:45] Announcing Mi Flora devices to MQTT broker for auto-discovery ...

Hi Thomas, sorry this took me awhile. Here you go…
