I just had an interesting experience trying to get a newly flashed Tasmota plug working with MQTT.
For the life of me, I couldnt get mcsMQTT to automatically create a new HS device. After a lot of head scratching, I finally thought to look at the status of the Setoption19 option and saw it was switched off even though I knew I had turned it on. So I turned it on again, rebooted the module, and again saw Setoption19 turned off.
Still scratching my head, I went to the web page describing the setoptions commands and found this
https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Commands/#setoptions
If I'm understanding this correctly, Setoption19 has been deprecated and is no longer included in the binaries. This will sure make it harder to use tasmota with Homeseer.
Sure enough, I reverted to firmware release 10.1.0 from 12.1.0 and device discovery worked as I'm used to seeing it. I think the change happened in 12.1.0 so 11.1.0 should be OK too but I didnt ry it.
So am i interpreting this correctly? If so, everyone needs to be aware of this.

SetOption19 | Tasmota discovery protocol used in Home Assistant Tasmota integration 0 = enable Tasmota discovery (default) 1 = use deprecated MQTT discovery (only with #define USE_HOME_ASSISTANT, does not exist in release binaries) |
