I’m seeing a couple of warning in my log file, everything is working so I don’t know if I should worry about it or if a small change to my code will remove the warnings.
I have built a RF blaster using a ESP8266 that is connected to a Mosquito MQTT broker on the same windows machine that my openHAB runtime is on.
The way I have set it up is that the topic and payload work together to send all the RF Blaster.
eg.
myhome/blaster/rf/182/24 - 1381836
The ESP8266 then transmits 1381836 with a bitrate of 24 and a pulse length of 182.
The reason for doing it this way is so that when I add a new RF device I don;t have to hardcode any of the details into the ESP8266 I just add it into openHAB.

mqtt.items
Group RF433
Switch RFSocket1 "RF Socket 1" (RF433) {channel="mqtt:topic:mything:rfSocket1"}
Switch RFSocket2 "RF Socket 2" (RF433) {channel="mqtt:topic:mything:rfSocket2"}
I am unsure of what is causing the Validation error with my mqtt.items file.
I have added these two switched to a simple sitemap, when I change the switch the RF gets transmitted and the sockets turn on and off as they should.
If I turn on one of the sockets then turn it off using a test MQTT client the switch state updates on the sitemap.
As I said everything is working as I would have expected it, should I ignore those warning message in the log file or do I need to make changed to my configuration.
I’ve only been using openHab for a couple days so apologies if I am missing something of I have left out any info you would need.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Atm the custom on/off values will not work.
