This allows the regex used to extract the device id to be overriden per metric. This required a little reorganizing of where the device id is parsed from the topic (and therefore how it's passed between functions). The default parsing remains the same.
This is useful (in my installation) with the availability topic created by Zigbee2MQTT. It creates topics like,
zigbee2mqtt/thermostat/availability
for availability. The main topic,zigbee2mqtt/thermostat
, has the main set of metrics (and correctly parses using the default device id regex) but thenzigbee2mqtt/thermostat/availability
has{"state":"online"}
. With this change, I can add a config that looks like this,and then get a bunch of metrics that look like this,
