[SOLVED] Extact partial data from MQTT

Add-ons Bindings
1

I’m want to extract humidity data out form my Sonoff Tasmota mqtt message.
log shows that openhab received the data correctly:

2018-12-15 15:24:35.901 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - Sonoff1 changed from {“Time”:“2018-12-15T14:21:52”,“SI7021”:{“Temperature”:13.2,“Humidity”:56.6},“TempUnit”:“C”} to ON

I’m only interested to get humidity out from that block. How is it done? Thanks.

Please post your item definition

3
String Sonoff1 "Sonoff1" {mqtt="<[broker:tele/sonoff/SENSOR/Temperature:state:default]"}

Here is the temperature part but the idea is the same

Use the JSON transformation like in the example below.

Number LivingRoom_Light_Temp "Living Room Temp [%.1f °F]" <temperature> ["CurrentTemperature"]
	{ mqtt="<[pibroker:tele/sonoff11/SENSOR:state:JSONPATH($.SI7021.Temperature)]" }

Also make sure you have the transformation service installed via PaperUI.

What your item should look like for temp.

Number Sonoff1 "Sonoff1 [%.1f °C]" { mqtt="<[broker:tele/sonoff/SENSOR:state:JSONPATH($.SI7021.Temperature)]" }

For Humidity:

Number Sonoff1 "Sonoff1 [%.1f %%]" { mqtt="<[broker:tele/sonoff/SENSOR:state:JSONPATH($.SI7021.Humidity)]" }

ok, it was easy to show it on habpanel. I had overlooked the dummy widget.
Cheers.
