can you show the output from the tasmota console
I think I have a problem in my files - the command is not being sent to mqtt.
mqqt.things (connection to the MQTT server)
Bridge mqtt:broker:MosquittoMqttBroker "Mosquitto MQTT Broker" [
host="192.168.0.14",
secure=false,
port=1883,
username="openhabian",
]
tasmota.things (the plug)
Thing mqtt:topic:zPlug1 "Zigbee Switch"
(mqtt:broker:MosquittoMqttBroker)
{
Channels:
Type switch : power "Power" [
stateTopic="tele/zPlug1/STATE",
commandTopic="cmnd/zPlug1/ZbSend",
transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.POWER",
on="ON",
off="OFF" ]
Type string : reachable "Reachable" [
stateTopic = "JINJA:{\"mqtt\":\"tele\", \"zPlug1\":\"LWT\"}"
]
}
tasmota.items
Switch switch_zPlug1 "Zigbee Switch" { channel="mqtt:topic:zPlug1:power" }
String string_zPlug1State "Device Status" { channel="mqtt:topic:zPlug1:state" }
String string_zPlug1Reachable "Device Status" { channel="mqtt:topic:zPlug1:reachable" }
tasmota.sitemap
sitemap tasmota label="Tasmota Setup" {
Switch item=switch_zPlug1
Text item=string_zPlug1State
Text item=string_zPlug1Reachable
}
No messages are being sent to mqtt, nor to the tasmota bridge.
What tool are you using to verify this? If you’re not already, please install MQTT Explorer and use that to watch all the incoming messages to your MQTT broker.
Does your MQTT broker have a username and password?
Please also review the second link in the second post on this thread for correct syntax for an Item. You are missing the reference to the Bridge in your Items configurations.
Your screeshot say that tasmotaHub is the Topic
but in your thing zPlug1 is your topic, this can`t work
show the output of the tasmota conole, you sayed that it works, then will see what is the topic and the device!!!
TasmotaHub is what I thought was the name of the bridge. Should that field be empty?
May I recommend the following tutorial - it should help you with the basics of getting Tasmota devices into openHAB via MQTT - there’s quite a few parts which need correctly configuring, and the tutorial goes into some depth to try and help.
Thanks for the tutorial - it’s where I started! I think what confuses me is that I have a bridge rather than a flashed device (I flashed the bridge but the plug still uses zigbee. I just redid everything per your tutorial, and from what I can see, openhab is not sending any commands to mqtt (although it is online according to the paper ui).
Here are my current files.
Bridge:
mqtt.things
Bridge mqtt:broker:MosquittoMqttBroker "Mosquitto MQTT Broker" [
host="192.168.0.14",
secure=false,
port=1883,
clientID="OpenHAB2",
username="",
password=""
]
tasmota.things
Thing mqtt:topic:zPlug1 "Zigbee Plug 1" (mqtt:broker:MosquittoMqttBroker) {
Channels:
Type switch : power "Power Switch" [
commandTopic="cmnd/zPlug1/POWER",
stateTopic="stat/zPlug1/POWER",
on="ON",
off="OFF"
]
}
tasmota.items
Switch zPlug1_item "Zigbee Light" { channel="mqtt:topic:zPlug1:power" }
tasmota.sitemap
sitemap tazHome label="Tasmota Devices" {
Switch item=zPlug1_item label="Zigbee Light"
}
When I switch the item in the sitemap, I get the following in the openhab events log:
2022-12-11 12:07:09.108 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'zPlug1_item' received command ON
2022-12-11 12:07:09.124 [nt.ItemStatePredictedEvent] - zPlug1_item predicted to become ON
2022-12-11 12:07:09.279 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - zPlug1_item changed from OFF to ON
I have the mqtt log in a separate terminal, and it does nothing when I switch the item.
You still use the wrong topic.
Why not just post the output of your tasmota cosole, i asked twice already.
Here’s the console output. Thanks for the help.

I have no idea what 41picX is.
type in your tasmota console
Setoption89 1
restart the device and
post the same output as above again
41picX is your mqtt topic
if you want to change the topic you have to change the mqtt settings %topic% to whatever you want

Note - I have two plug devices linked to the bridge, but so far I’m just trying to figure out how to work with the first one.
use this as your tasmota.things
Thing mqtt:topic:41picX "Zigbee Plug 1" (mqtt:broker:MosquittoMqttBroker) {
Channels:
Type switch : power "Power Switch" [
stateTopic="tele/41picX/8BAD/SENSOR",
transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.zPlug1.POWER",
commandTopic="cmnd/41picX/8BAD/ZBSEND",
formatBeforePublish: "{"device":"zPlug1", "send":{"Power":"%s"} }",
on="1",
off="0"
]
}
This as your tasmota.item
Switch zPlug1_item "Zigbee Light" { channel="mqtt:topic:41picX:power" }
It shold work like this
Is this tested? May need to escape the quotation marks in the formatBeforePublish value.
I’ve tried escaping the quotation marks and still can’t get it to validate/load in OH.
Revised thing:
Thing mqtt:topic:41picX "Zigbee Plug 1" (mqtt:broker:MosquittoMqttBroker) {
Channels:
Type switch : power "Power Switch" [
stateTopic="tele/41picX/8BAD/SENSOR",
transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.zPlug1.POWER",
commandTopic="cmnd/41picX/8BAD/ZBSEND",
formatBeforePublish: "{\"device\":\"zPlug1\", \"send\":{\"Power\":\"%s\"} }",
on="1",
off="0"
]
}
And I get the following when it loads:
==> /var/log/openhab2/openhab.log <==
2022-12-12 13:34:06.164 [WARN ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Configuration model 'tasmota.things' has errors, therefore ignoring it: [8,44]: mismatched input ':' expecting '='

Sorry, my bad, now tested
you were on the right track, but you overlooked the colon, as i did. 
formatBeforePublish= "{\"device\":\"zPlug1\", \"send\":{\"Power\":\"%s\"} }",
I almost forgot why i changed to UI configuration
So I did this:
formatBeforePublish: "{\"device\"\:\"zPlug1\", \"send\"\:{\"Power\"\:\"%s\"} }",
and got:
2022-12-12 16:41:07.351 [WARN ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Configuration model 'tasmota.things' has errors, therefore ignoring it: [8,44]: mismatched input ':' expecting '='
