I have got some progress. After try what hr_2 posted, I do not get that OH get states updated.
I decided to reinstall everything. OH and Mosquitto are running ok, everythim I release a command from MQTTfx, I got a message in the OH log, and it seems that something in the onoff.map is wrong

So, I had this in the onoff.map

0=OFF
1=ON

But it was not enough, SO, I decided to change them to:

OFF=OFF
ON=ON
NULL=OFF

AAANNNDD NOW IT IS WORKING!!! :smiley:

Thank you for your help!!

In this case you would not need a map transformation. As your commands are already on and off.

23

I thought about it, but what happend with NULL? I got a warning in the log… Well, I will try

24

Yeah NULL. But do you get NULL states?

25

Yes, I did get but I think only when I reboot and turn on/off switches first time, after one cycle of ON/OFF I do not get NULL states anymore, … that is why I wrote NULL in the onoff.map

I think this can be ignored then, but this is just my opinion.
Just on a gut level i would expect faster processing without map.
