Mqtt topic homeassistant no longer writeable (3.70~74)

I updated today to 74 and suddenly found some new MQTT devices in my homeassistant installation. I can’t find any information about this in the release notes, so I am not 100% sure this is from the update.

However, even though these new devices are great, the functionality killed other devices that pushed homeassistant autodiscovery information to the discovery topic. It seems it’s not possible anymore to write anything under ‘homesassistant’ from outside.

Is this from the update? and if so, can this be fixed? I moved those devices to another mqtt broker temporarily.

None of the usual switch off and on or reboot works to clear it?

No, couldn’t delete any of the Victron devices in there either. So my assumption is that the topic is hardwired internally, as it does not behave like a normal mqtt topic anymore.

On 3.70-78 this is still the same. No writes or deletes possible under mqtt topic ‘homeassistant’
