Looks like a bug in apprise?

$ pip3 list|grep apprise
apprise                1.7.2

$ ls|apprise  mqtt://home-server/nice-topic

@Red96Baron please try to send a mqtt:// from the command line (pip install apprise)

if it persists, please open in caronc/apprise repo

thanks for the report

[Red96Baron]

@dgtlmoon thanks for the fast reply!

Please refere to caronc's answer from the apprise issue:

This is related to the version of mqtt being installed under the hood. The new version was released (v2.0) and not backwards compatible with its previous. See here.

Your Change detection instance just needs to include the previous version of paho-mqtt and it will work fine.

Just released .17 :)
