Auto Discovery publishes SCMPlus time value, skips the rest such as gas meter consumption. Case sensitive?

The problem

Log from rtl_433

time : 2023-11-02T11:23:23.199319-0400
model : SCMplus id : 78333333
Protocol_ID: 0x1E Endpoint_Type: 0x9C Endpoint_ID: 78333333 Consumption: 6474 Tamper : 0x0A08 crc : 0xCB82 Meter_Type: Gas Integrity : CRC

(gas meter id changed to protect the innocent...)

Log from rtl_433 MQTT Auto Discovery:

INFO:root:Published SCMplus/78333333: time
INFO:root:Skipped SCMplus/78333333: ProtocolID, EndpointType, EndpointID, Consumption, Tamper, PacketCRC, MeterType

Device appearing as expected in hass but only the time, all the other entities are ignored. Consumption, and probably MeterType, are the desired data. Best guess is that it is skipping Consumption because of case?

For anyone else who runs into this problem, you can work around it by using the rtl_433 addon without the auto-discovery addon and doing the discovery yourself by hand.

Just add a custom MQTT sensor:

mqtt:
  sensor:
    - name: "Mains Power"
      state_topic: "rtl_433/9b13b3f4-rtl433/devices/SCMplus/xxxxxxxx/Consumption"
      unit_of_measurement: 'kWh'
      force_update: true
      unique_id: "killowatt_hours_sensor"
      device_class: energy
      state_class: total
