MQTT Item for the IFan02

gbrogna · December 26, 2018, 3:26pm

I am using OpenHab2 inside an Ubuntu VM. It has been working for about 6 months with no issues using Sonoff products. I finally broke down and ordered an IFan02 and flashed it with Tasmota 6.4.1.

Now for the issue: For the life of me I can not figure out the MQTT statement for the items file. I can get the light to turn on and off with the following statement

Switch MBFan “Master Bedroom Fan” [ “Switchable” ] { mqtt=">[broker:cmnd/MBFan/POWER1:command:*:default],<[broker:stat/MBFan/POWER1:state:default]" }

But for the fan control, I am lost. Below I pasted the console for the Tasmota IFan02 device

15:59:42 MQT: stat/MBFan/RESULT = {“FanSpeed”:2}
16:02:00 MQT: tele/MBFan/UPTIME = {“Time”:“2018-12-26T16:02:00”,“Uptime”:“0T00:28:56”}

16:24:20 MQT: stat/MBFan/RESULT = {“FanSpeed”:1}
16:24:23 MQT: stat/MBFan/RESULT = {“FanSpeed”:2}
16:24:26 MQT: stat/MBFan/RESULT = {“FanSpeed”:3}
16:24:29 MQT: stat/MBFan/RESULT = {“FanSpeed”:0}

Any help creating a MQTT statement for this device would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Have you tried using the Fanspeed command with payload 1…3 as per the doc’s?

List of commands link:

Sergio_DE · January 16, 2019, 12:49am

Any luck so far?
I’m using the following item:

//sonoff-WZ-fan - FanSpeed
Number Switch_sonoff_WZ_fan_spd “Lüfter WZ” (gSwitches,gWohnzimmer)
{mqtt=">[broker:cmnd/sonoff-WZ-fan/FanSpeed:command:*:default],
<[broker:stat/sonoff-WZ-fan/RESULT:state:JSONPATH($.FanSpeed):REGEX(.Fan.)]"}

with not so much luck. I wish to have a state change like the switches: triggering ON/OFF from web interface or from button leads to update of openhab Basic UI (where I have a sitemap with a Switch). Viceversa Openhab would be able to generate a state change to the fan (0,1,2,3).

Sergio_DE · January 17, 2019, 12:38am

here the mistake: we don’t need to declare a REGEX, since it is interpreted as such! just use as last argument

.*Fan.*

DaniFont · March 13, 2019, 5:13pm

Hi all !
so … the solution is … ?

What in things, what in items and what in sitemap?

Thanks for your help.

Dani

hectorasoto · March 26, 2019, 2:15am

Hello the Solution is:

ITEMS:

Switch ifan2_Ligth “Ligth”
{ mqtt=">[broker:cmnd/ifan02/POWER1:command:*:default],
<[broker:stat/ifan02/POWER1:state:default]" }

Number ifan2_speed “Fan:” {mqtt=">[broker:cmnd/ifan02/FanSpeed:command:*:default],
<[broker:stat/ifan02/RESULT:state:JSONPATH($.FanSpeed):(.Fan.)]"}

SITEMAP:

Switch item= ifan2_Ligth icon=“light”
Switch item= ifan2_speed label=“Mode” icon=“fan_ceiling” mappings=[0=“Off”, 1=“Slow”, 2=“Med”, 3=“Higth”]

Hope this work for you
Hector

all I get is a warning that states missing EOF at mapping ? Will load the warning now.

allen · April 8, 2019, 8:47am

I have tried the setup as suggested. and once uploaded and restart of openhab. my master bedroom items get ignored. and when I remove the mapping from my items. then it includes the items.

The mappings= definistion belongs in a sitemap file not in the items file

allen · April 9, 2019, 5:08am

Thank you .
I am redoing my sitemap. as i only used groupes and pulled everything out of my item files.

allen · April 15, 2019, 5:48am

Thank you. I re did my site map.
how ever I am having some issues with controlling my IFan02.

Are we to assume WHAT the problems are?

Looking at the .things file, the switch “Fan_Light” looks weird, it is using a stateTopic ending at “POWER1”, the commandTopic however ends at “power”. Is this the Problem?

allen · April 15, 2019, 6:21am

Sorry .
the main issue is that I seem to not be Abel to control the Fan at all.
not sure what can be worn. I will add the log info now also . sorry for the lack of information. not much I can find. I am not sure what the problem is.
Not sure if it could be my mqtt either.

It looks like you are not aware off which messages to send to the fan in order to tunr ON/OFf and to change the speed.
I’d try and test this with an external MQTT Viewer (like MQTTfx) before moving to openHAB. When you are able to control the fan via MQTT Messages from the viewer you will have the needed topics on hand.

allen · April 15, 2019, 6:55am

Ok Will test that tonight and report back.

allen · April 18, 2019, 7:17am

Hi all . only hade time to cheke today.
the fan speed command topic is : cmnd/Masterbedroom-Fan/FanSpeed
The state topic is :stat/Masterbedroom-Fan/RESULT
The light command topic is :cmnd/Masterbedroom-Fan/power
the light state topic is :stat/Masterbedroom-Fan/POWER1

my mqtt.things for the ifan02 is as follows.

Type switch : Fan_Light                         "Fan on/off"                [stateTopic="stat/Masterbedroom-Fan/POWER1", commandTopic="cmnd/Masterbedroom-Fan/power"]
    Type number : Fan_SPD                           "Fan Speed"                 [stateTopic="stat/Masterbedroom-Fan/RESULT", commandTopic="cmnd/Masterbedroom-Fan/FanSpeed", transformationPatter="JSONPATH($.FanSpeed):(.Fan.)" ]
    }

sitems for ifan02 is as follows.

Switch      MasterBedroom_Fan_Light     "Fan Light"                 <fan_ceiling>                    (MasterBedroom)                                                            {channel="mqtt:topic:mosquitto:MasterBedroom:Fan_Light"}
String      MasterBedroom_Fan_spd       "Fan Speed"                 <fan_ceiling>                    (MasterBedroom)                                                            {channel="mqtt:topic:mosquitto:MasterBedroom:Fan_SPD"}

then my log gives me the following :

2019-04-18 09:15:31.793 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - Memory_Available_Percent changed from 11.1 to 11.2

2019-04-18 09:15:32.611 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'MasterBedroom_Fan_Light' received command ON

2019-04-18 09:16:16.851 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - CPU_Load changed from 9.9 to 10.9

But if I send the commands from mqttfx it works. what am I doing wrong.

What I did se is in paperui I can control the fan and light but in the app I get those warnings. and also if I use basicui

allen · April 18, 2019, 8:12am

I am little dumb. My channel is wrong

opus · April 18, 2019, 8:13am

What message are sending to the device (Fan Light) via MQTTfx when it works (to which topic and which message content [ ON/OFF or on/ff or…).
What messages are received by MQTTfx when when your are trying to switch the “Fan Light” via openHAB (which topic and which message content [ ON/OFF or on/ff or…).
The differences will tell what is wrong!

Do the same for the “Fan Speed”.

If you can control both via PaperUI (which would be under the Controls section), you are actually using the created items. In an app you would use the same items, in other words the Setup of the app is not correct.

allen · April 18, 2019, 8:19am

I have seen my error. And feel like a fool.
My mqtt topic
thing topic master_bed "MasterBedroom”

My channel
{channel=“mqtt:topic:mosquitto:MasterBedroom:Fan_SPD”}

Should be : {channel=“mqtt:topic:mosquitto:master_bed:Fan_SPD”}

Glad you found it and don’t worry. I can’t count my post in which I asked a question which I could solve on my own only seconds after posting!
