MQTT InvalidStateError with length 320 #117861

ghost · 2024-05-21T13:12:28Z

The problem

I noticed an issue in my log files regarding the following: homeassistant.exceptions.InvalidStateError: Invalid state with length 320. State max length is 255 characters. This is in regards to a ir blaster device (ZS06) using MQTT. The device does function properly even though I receive this problem but I wanted to see a resolution can be found to eliminate the error message that occurs any time i restart my HA.

The complete error message is listed below under the log file section.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

2024.5.4

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

No response

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant Container

Integration causing the issue

MQTT

Hey there @emontnemery, @jbouwh, @bdraco, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (mqtt) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

Can you share the MQTT info (if possible in JSON format). You can find this at the MQTT device info page.
The config topic and payload, a state payload would be very helpful.

Is this what you needed? There is a bit more but I think this was what you were asking for specifically. Let me know

jbouwh · 2024-05-21T15:04:08Z

No, I need the config for the entity that causes the failure (in JSON format, there is a switch), the config is probably the correct one, and the state payload (at topic zigbee2mqtt/IR Remote Control) for this entity causing the issue. The bridge state is not relavat for this issue. Did you open an issue for Zigbee2MQTT as you opened an issue at the Home Assistant Core repo.

I was advised to try here first

ghost · 2024-05-23T07:05:26Z

is this enough info?

jbouwh · 2024-05-23T16:22:38Z

is this enough info?

possible, I'll have a look later

jbouwh · 2024-05-23T19:58:07Z

@jnewland I have enough information. The issue is that a sensor or text entity cannot have a state with more then 255 chars. If the length exceeds this limit we should log a better error message showing the entity causing the issue.

That the state exceeds the limit is not an issue of MQTT. This is just a bad configuration.

my bad, I meant to address @contactmetherenow. The attached PR will improve the error logging and close this issue. It will not solve the Z2M issue BTW.

jbouwh · 2024-05-24T09:54:33Z

The error is caused by the sensor config added by Z2M. You could try to disable this entity.

ghost · 2024-05-24T10:51:24Z

Should I be contacting Z2M to address the sensor error? if so what is the correct github for Z2M because i see quite a few. (FYI I am running Z2M as a docker container)
