Configuring Openhab for tasmota things

OK, so your thing file could look something like this:

Bridge mqtt:broker:MosquittoMqttBroker "Mosquitto MQTT Broker" [host="192.168.0.20", secure=false]
{
	// Switch Light
	Thing mqtt:topic:Brilliant "Light switch" {
		Channels:
			Type switch : switch "Power Switch" [ 
				stateTopic="stat/Brilliant/POWER", 
				commandTopic="cmnd/Brilliant/POWER",
				on="ON",
				off="OFF"          
			]
	}
}

then an items file could include:

Switch sBrilliantSwitch "Brilliant Light Switch"  { channel="mqtt:topic:Brilliant:switch" }

and the sitemap could include:

Switch item=sBrilliantSwitch label="Brilliant Light" icon="light"

That covers the basic on/off for the light. I notice the MQTT payload includes dimmer and colour - is this a lightbulb? This link may also be useful, as it includes an example channel setup for the colour and dimmer:

EDIT: Also, make sure you have the MQTT binding installed (not v1), and the JSONPath transformation (for the dimmer and colour stuff). You can do this via the PaperUI.

  • PaperUI → Add-ons → Bindings → MQTT Binding → Install
  • PaperUI → Add-ons → Transformations → JSONPath Transformation → Install
