get-states not fully using templates in devices.conf

I think this is actually a documentation error on my part. In the docs it says to use type: 'string', but it should be type: 'str'. I think this is causing the friendly topic publish function to end up with a null value for those two keys since it doesn't have a matching type. Could you change those two lines in your template for keys 3 & 4 so it uses 'str' instead of 'string' and try again? I'll go fix the docs.

Yes, this works. Now I get:

tuya/aiibot_air_purifier/command get-states
tuya/aiibot_air_purifier/power_state ON
tuya/aiibot_air_purifier/pm25_state 9
tuya/aiibot_air_purifier/mode_state auto
tuya/aiibot_air_purifier/speed_state 1
tuya/aiibot_air_purifier/dps/state {"1":true,"2":9,"3":"auto","4":"1","7":false,"19":"0","22":"1"}
tuya/aiibot_air_purifier/dps/1/state true
tuya/aiibot_air_purifier/dps/2/state 9
tuya/aiibot_air_purifier/dps/3/state auto
tuya/aiibot_air_purifier/dps/4/state 1
tuya/aiibot_air_purifier/dps/7/state false
tuya/aiibot_air_purifier/dps/19/state 0
tuya/aiibot_air_purifier/dps/22/state 1

Thanks a lot!

Good to know it works. I've updated the docs so I'm going to go ahead and close this for now.

I'm realizing that I can probably just automatically detect the type for the state and DPS key topics since I know if it's a bool, number or string based on the JSON data type. I'll try to implement some automatic handling of this in the future to make this setup even easier.
