Transformation service JINJA - Tasmota configured in Home Assistant?

Maybe somebody knows about that issue?

I am just re-installing my mqtt devices (all sonoff/Tasmota with 8.4 firmware), openhab on 2.5.7-1.
I am trying to configure these now in Home Assistant mode (Setoption19 =1)
Before i installed them manually, now with Setoption19 = 1 things immediately pop-up in your PaperUI inbox.

That´s cool!
I also discovered that I still need to set them up in the .items file. Zwave devices don´t need that.

Now my questions:

  1. The things aren´t working correctly, I can switch On but the status isn´t refreshed I assume.
    The log shows something with Transformation service JINJA not found!
    Do I really need to configure that transformation - or do I better leave my fingers away and configure the old manual method?
  2. I realized whatever little change (e.g. location description) I do let the thing go offline. And the only thing what helps is to restart the tasmota device. OK not so critical, but it feels a bit unstable!

Anyone getting the same behaviour?
Anyone also running the devices in Home Assistant mode and is it stable?

I just installed Transformation service JINJA and YES it is working now - Generally at least!
Device status gets updated and I can switch On and OFF.

The only thing is that after I restarted it wasn´t catching all MQTT devices automatically, for what ever reason, but this definately is required I would say.
So I restarted the Tasmota devices one by one and later all were on green in Paper UI again.

Any idea what is causing this?
Why aren´t the devices not updated automatically?
When I cannot solve that behaviour I will re-configure again the manual path… cause I think this isn´t really stable in case of power loss or some other issues what forces a openhab restart.

Hmm even more strange, I restarted again, and as described before the mqtt things getting grey instead of green - but really strange is I still can switch them no problem at all!
