OK, no idea what is going on here.
Lights seem to work but this is repeating in the log:

Can anybody translate what is going on in the log? Why is OH sending that whole command string??

All devices there flashed with tasmota (long ago, no changes)
Openhab 3.3.0

without your items-Definition and channel-configuration it’s just wandering in the dark.
Please paste your configuration for at least one of your lamps.

IMHO openHAB is correctly receiving the whole string via MQTT. What is missing is the JSONPATH transformation.
Did you install that transformation?
Did you set the Incoming Value Transformation to make use of the JSONPATH Tranformation (to be found in the Advanced Channel Configurations)?

4

Did you install that transformation?

Not at all… will install it. Weird because I’ve been using OH since at least 5 years without needing this (same IOT devices). Maybe its a new thing from 3.3?

Did you set the Incoming Value Transformation to make use of the JSONPATH Tranformation (to be found in the Advanced Channel Configurations)?

I’m using config files not GUI, could you help me setup that into files? because the tutorial goes beyond my comprehension.

Thanks!

(ps I installed json transf. while writing this)

Using Mosquitto as MQTT server.

You posted only your .items file. We would need to see how you configured the channels of your MQTT Things.

Sorry, but I am using the GUI to configure my Things.

The .things file syntax for switch used to be like:

Type switch : PowerSwitch [stateTopic="stat/tasmota_TH/POWER", commandTopic="cmnd/tasmota_TH/POWER", on="ON", off="OFF"]

Notice the last part on="ON", off="OFF" which you are missing. I don’t devices with color or dimmer commands, hence I can’t give an example for those.

Hmmm… I recently changed the STATE topics to be STAT/MYDEVICE/RESULT which is what I could see using an MQTT sniffer app. I had STAT/MYDEVICE/POWER for power stats and so on… maybe that is what OH is not liking…
I’ll change that back and report if fixed.

10

I don’t think the StateTopic is your problem. openHAB is showing WARNINGS that are related to a CommandString that could not be parsed.

11

I thought it can have something to do because of the “ChannelState”
I know it says command but the command could be the “bad” statetopics I configured… besides, the lights work so its weird…

12

Guess what? it was the bad config on stat topics which caused the WARNS after all.

Thank you guys!
