To clarify I’m using V2.5.0 Release Build and transitioning from MQTT1 to MQTT2. I have 2 channels that I want to use as contact items, one channel uses JSONPATH to extract the value from the Telemetry JSON which Tasmota broadcasts periodically and the other channel takes the untranslated value from the status topic. In both cases the received value is either “ON” or “OFF” This value works in both cases if I define a switch channel but NOT if I define a contact channel. I am successfully using a proxy item linked to the switch and then firing a rule as a workaround which confirms this works to a switch channel.
Assuming I’ve not missed anything It seems that sending “ON” or “OFF” to a MQTT Contact channel causes the error in the log and doesn’t work.
