MQTT not working 2

[max2 (max)]

Hello,
after my first problem is solved, there is unfortanely a new one:
installed the mqtt binding and added this to the mqtt.cfg:

mqtt:broker.url=tcp://localhost:1883
mqtt:broker.clientId=openhab
mqtt:broker.retain=true
mqtt:broker.async=false
mqtt:broker.user=openhabian
mqtt:broker.pwd=XXXXXXXXX

For testing I created a item:

Switch MQTT_Test "Testing..." { mqtt="<[broker:testing/mqtt/topic:state:default], >[broker:testing/mqtt/back-topic:command:*:default]" }

But nothing changes when I send a “ON” to testing/mqtt/topic

[vzorglub (Vincent Regaud)]

First question

Which MQTT binding did you install? v1 or v2?

[max2 (max)]

2.4.0

[Marfi (Martin)]

Your item file is v1. You need the new format.

This might help: Migrating MQTT1 items to MQTT2.4 items

Thanks!
I found the old format much better

So I’ve followed the guide and set up MQTT.
I’ve created a Thing (see screenshot).
But when I send a MQTT message (ON or 1) to cmnd/max/light/bed nothing changes (log)

[max2 (max)]

So I’ve installed the v1 binding now and removed the v2.
But there’s still no log output when I send ON or 1 to testing/mqtt/topic.

Edit: Tried to subscribe with mosquito to find the problem, and there is also no Output I sent to the channel.

[fibu-freak (Peter)]

your item should look like this:

Switch    Sonoff_socket_01 "Wohnzimmer LED 1 [%s]"  <lamp_globe_light>  (EG_Wohnen,gPlugSwitch,gSonoff)  { mqtt=">[broker:cmnd/schaltdose01/power:command:*:default],
                                                                                                                 <[broker:stat/schaltdose01/POWER:state:default]" }

[max2 (max)]

With the old binding I have installed now?

[fibu-freak (Peter)]

yes, with mqtt 1.x.
The first command is cmnd to send power on or off, and the second (stat) is to get the state. Pls look for correct angles (<>) for the direction

Hello,

So I’ve reinstalled whole OpenHabian, but it is still not working.

1. Installed Mosquito with “sudo apt-get install -y mosquitto mosquitto-clients”
2. Installed MQTT Binding (V1)
3. Created mqtt.cfg with content:

broker.url=tcp://localhost:1883
broker.user=openhabian
broker.pwd=openhabian

4. Created home.items file with this content:

Switch    Sonoff_socket_01 "Wohnzimmer LED 1 [%s]"  <lamp_globe_light>  (EG_Wohnen,gPlugSwitch,gSonoff)  { mqtt=">[broker:cmnd/schaltdose01/power:command:*:default], <[broker:stat/schaltdose01/POWER:state:default]" }

And sent a “ON” or “1” to this channel: cmnd/schaltdose01/power
But there’s not output in the log. Where’s the mistake?

Console Output:

2018-12-23 22:20:17.074 [thome.event.ExtensionEvent] - Extension 'binding-mqtt1' has been installed.

What are your suggestions?

[vzorglub (Vincent Regaud)]

@max2

And sent a “ON” or “1” to this channel: cmnd/schaltdose01/power

How do you send the value?
The input topic is stat/schaltdose01/POWER not cmnd/schaltdose01/power

If you have a switch on a sitemap for this item, you should see the payload ‘ON’ sent on the topic cmnd/schaltdose01/power
The command topic for the sonoff is with POWER not power

Change your item to:

Switch    Sonoff_socket_01 "Wohnzimmer LED 1 [%s]"  <lamp_globe_light>  (EG_Wohnen,gPlugSwitch,gSonoff)  { mqtt=">[broker:cmnd/schaltdose01/POWER:command:*:default], <[broker:stat/schaltdose01/POWER:state:default]" }

[max2 (max)]

Sitemap:

sitemap demo label="My home automation" {
    Frame label="Demo" {
        Switch item=Sonoff_socket_01 icon="light"
    }
}

And used your item, but there is still no on in the console.

(ON sent to: cmnd/schaltdose01/POWER)

[vzorglub (Vincent Regaud)]

@max2

here is still no on in the console.

What console?
How do you monitor you MQTT messages?

[fibu-freak (Peter)]

Do you mean the Web-Interface of your Sonoff, when your talking about console ?

and of course you can not use my mqtt-command one by one, you have to change the name(topic) of the sonoff you are using. You find this information here:

Or do you mean the Log-Viewer (logger) of your Openhab-Web-Interface

So, as Vincent @vzorglub asked, what is meant with console ?
BTW, what Hardware you are using ?
