Describe the bug

I still have syslog entries every 16 seconds
.... | INFO | Published to my/weather/topic ....

Additional context

I don't see anything in the system file that might override .conf

:~/ecowitt2mqtt$ cat /etc/systemd/system/ecowitt2mqtt.service

cleaning out all comments from the .conf does not help

wrosner@homeserver:~/ecowitt2mqtt$ cat ecowitt2mqtt.conf

[wolfgangr]

it's running in a python pipx venv, obviously:

Ah, I remember, It's not only open, but even comprehensible source.
So I grepped the cause and changed it:

wrosner@homeserver:~/.local/pipx/venvs/ecowitt2mqtt/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ecowitt2mqtt/helpers/publisher/mqtt$ diff  __init__.py.000 __init__.py 
82c82,83

---
>         # LOGGER.info("Published to %s", self._config.mqtt_topic)
>         LOGGER.debug("Published to %s", self._config.mqtt_topic)

New state: works for me 👍
@bachya , I'll keep it open for you to decide whether you want to change this, too.

INFO logs are logged all the time; verbose controls only DEBUG logs. That's as designed.
