Help requested for MQTT query syntax  
I have a Rhasspy which works perfectly in voice control of my OH2.  
Currently I have Rhasspy things such as:

> 

Bridge mqtt:broker:Rhasspy “Rhasspy” @ “MQTT” [  
host=“192.168.0.28”,  
port=1883,  
secure=false,  
clientID=“default”,  
username=“”,  
password=“”  
]  
{  
Thing topic Rhasspy\_thing “Rhasspy” @ “MQTT” {  
Channels:  
Type string : Rhasspy\_Intent “Str Rhasspy INTENT” [stateTopic=“hermes/intent/#”]  
}  
}

I get the MQTT frame in the Rhasspy\_intent String item

> String Rhasspy\_Intent “Rhasspy Intent” {autoupdate=“false”,channel=“mqtt:topic:Rhasspy:Rhasspy\_thing:Rhasspy\_Intent” }

and I then process the information received in text mode in a rules !!!

> rule "Rhasspy intent "  
> when  
> Item Rhasspy\_Intent received update  
> then  
> ///// text processing to extract my info  
> var String str\_Mqtt = Rhasspy\_Intent.state.toString  
> val String intentname = transform(“JSONPATH”, “$.intent.intentName”,str\_Mqtt)  
> //////  
> end

I added an item String to retrieve a value such as for example “itentName”  
and I created a new channel in my thing such as:

> Type string : IntentName “Rhasspy INTENTNAME” [stateTopic="hermes/intent/intentName "]

**And the is my question: what is the correct syntax to get the desired value ??**  
**I tried without result after reading examples of these syntaxes:**

> [stateTopic="hermes/intent/intentName "]  
> [stateTopic="hermes/intent/intentName/# "]  
> [stateTopic=“hermes/intent/intentName/#:intentName”]  
> [stateTopic=“hermes:intent:intentName”]

So my question is what is the correct syntax ???  
[I don’t understand the syntax given in paragraph 3.1 of post :](https://community.openhab.org/t/getting-rhasspy-working-with-openhab/87909/14)

> mqtt.things:

```auto
Thing mqtt:topic:mosquitto:rhasspy "Rhasspy voice control" (mqtt:broker:mosquitto) {
        Channels:
                Type string : intent_lights "Rhasspy Intent Lights" [stateTopic="rhasspy/intent/Lights"]
        }

```

> **[hermes/intent/Lights] gives me exactly the same as [hermes/intent/#]**

return json is as follows:

I’ve created my own project and using it to connect Rhasspy with openHAB for our smart home at the UAS Technikum Wien: [GitHub - fhtw-edge-computing/rhasspy-bridge: small, customizable and lightweight bridge for connecting Rhasspy to any other platform](https://github.com/fhtw-edge-computing/rhasspy-bridge)
