Shelly Plus H&T configuration in MQTT

Dear community,

I try to get work my new Shelly Plus H&T with Openhab. Because the old Shelly binding failed to communicate with the device (the whole time in sleep mode) and the new Shelly binding is failed to install i decided to give a try to the MQTT.

I newer worked with MQTT before. I installed the Binding. Made a mqqt.things file, where i wrote:

Bridge mqtt:broker:myAuthentificatedBroker [ host="localhost",secure=false, username="xxxxx", password="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" ]

Thing mqtt:topic:ShellyPlusHT "Shelly Plus H&T" (mqtt:broker:myAuthentificatedBroker) {
    Channels:
    
}

But i don’t know what i need to write to the channels and maybe in the items file to get the Temperature, Humidity, Battery state from the device.

Thank you for the help.
type or paste code here

for me it works like this:

Bridge mqtt:broker:mosquitto [ host="192.168.100.111",port="1883", secure=false ]
{
  Thing topic PlusHT1 "PlusHT1" {
    Channels:
      Type number : S_PlHT1_Batt "Shelly Plus HT1 Battery"    [ stateTopic="shellyplusht-7c87ce6bd1b0/status/devicepower:0", transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.battery.percent"]
      Type number : S_PlHT1_Humi "Shelly Plus HT1 Humidity"   [ stateTopic="shellyplusht-7c87ce6bd1b0/status/humidity:0", transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.rh"]
      Type number : S_PlHT1_Temp "Shelly Plus HT1 Temperatur" [ stateTopic="shellyplusht-7c87ce6bd1b0/status/temperature:0", transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.tC"]
      Type number : S_PlHT1_rssi "Shelly Plus HT1 RSSI"       [ stateTopic="shellyplusht-7c87ce6bd1b0/status/wifi", transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.rssi"]
  }

Thanks

About the entries in the items file:

Group:Number:SUM S_PlHT1 "Shelly Plus H&T 1 (MQTT)"   <settings>    ["Sensor"]
 Number S_PlHT1_Humi   "+HT1 MQTT Humidity [%.0f %%]" <humidity>    (S_PlHT1)  ["Humidity","Measurement"]    { channel="mqtt:topic:mosquitto:PlusHT1:S_PlHT1_Humi" }
 Number S_PlHT1_Temp   "+HT1 MQTT Temperatur [%.1f]"  <temperature> (S_PlHT1)  ["Temperature","Measurement"] { channel="mqtt:topic:mosquitto:PlusHT1:S_PlHT1_Temp" }
 Number S_PlHT1_rssi   "+HT1 MQTT rssi [%.0f]"        <cwifi>       (S_PlHT1)  ["Frequency"]                 { channel="mqtt:topic:mosquitto:PlusHT1:S_PlHT1_rssi" }

Somehow i don’t get any value.

mqtt.things

Bridge mqtt:broker:mosquitto [ host="localhost",secure=false, username="XXXXX", password="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" ]{

    Thing topic ShellyPlusHT "Shelly Plus H&T" {
        Channels:
            Type number : ShellyPlusHT_Battery      "Shelly Plus HT1 Battery"    [ stateTopic="shellyplusht-7c87ce6bd1b0/status/devicepower:0", transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.battery.percent"]
            Type number : ShellyPlusHT_Humidity     "Shelly Plus HT1 Humidity"   [ stateTopic="shellyplusht-7c87ce6bd1b0/status/humidity:0", transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.rh"]
            Type number : ShellyPlusHT_Temperature  "Shelly Plus HT1 Temperatur" [ stateTopic="shellyplusht-7c87ce6bd1b0/status/temperature:0", transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.tC"]
            Type number : ShellyPlusHT_RSSI         "Shelly Plus HT1 RSSI"       [ stateTopic="shellyplusht-7c87ce6bd1b0/status/wifi", transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.rssi"]

The ID of your Shelly has to go in here

I did, but still no value transfered. I see in the MQTT explorer, but not in OH

Text item=ShellyPlusHT_Temperature

Same problem here (althrough through PaperUI). Using OpenHab 3.4. In MQTT Explorer it is listed correctly, in OpenHAB I get a NULL.
