Greetings everyone so I flashed Tasmota onto a NodeMCU v3, and hooked up a DTH11 (temp & humidity sensor) to it, which works fine, however I’m having trouble with the configuration for openHAB. I already had a look through some posts here, and the Tasmota article, and tried to configure it through both PaperUI and the config files, without much luck.

Comunity articles: Openhab binding tasmota

Tasmota article: https://tasmota.github.io/docs/#/integrations/openHAB

Config files:

//Things file
Bridge mqtt:broker:SenBroker "SenBroker" [ host="192.168.0.97", port=1883, secure=false, clientID="SenBroker"]
{
    Thing topic NodeMCU "NodeMCU" {
    Channels:
        Type number : Humidity    [stateTopic="cmnd/tasmota/", transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.DHT11.Humidity"]
        Type number : Temperature [stateTopic="cmnd/tasmota/", transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.DHT11.Temperature"]
      }
}

//Items file

//Lighting Relays
Switch channel1 "Living Room" <lightbulb> [ "Switchable" ] { gpio="pin:23 activelow:yes initialValue:high" }
Switch channel2 "Kitchen"     <lightbulb> [ "Switchable" ] { gpio="pin:24 activelow:yes initialValue:high" }
Switch channel3 "Bath"        <lightbulb> [ "Switchable" ] { gpio="pin:17 activelow:yes initialValue:high" }
Switch channel4 "Bedroom 1"   <lightbulb> [ "Switchable" ] { gpio="pin:27 activelow:yes initialValue:high" }
Switch channel5 "Bedroom 2"   <lightbulb> [ "Switchable" ] { gpio="pin:22 activelow:yes initialValue:high" }
Switch channel6 "Bedroom 3"   <lightbulb> [ "Switchable" ] { gpio="pin:16 activelow:yes initialValue:high" }
Switch channel7 "Garage"      <lightbulb> [ "Switchable" ] { gpio="pin:19 activelow:yes initialValue:high" }
Switch channel8 "Exterior"    <lightbulb> [ "Switchable" ] { gpio="pin:26 activelow:yes initialValue:high" }

//Ambient Sensors
Number  Temperature "Temperature [%s °C]" <temperature> {channel="mqtt:topic:SenBroker:NodeMCU:Temperature"}
Number  Humidity    "Humidity [%s %]"     <humidity>    {channel="mqtt:topic:SenBroker:NodeMCU:Humidity"}

sitemap home label="SmartHome"
{
  Frame label='Demo'
{

       Switch item=channel1
       Switch item=channel2
       Switch item=channel3
       Switch item=channel4
       Switch item=channel5
       Switch item=channel6
       Switch item=channel7
       Switch item=channel8
       Text item=Temperature
       Text item=Humidity

}
}

Can you post here how your MQTT messages from your device look like?

3

Also, make sure you have installed:

  • MQTT Binding (not the 1.x one) from PaperUI -> Addons -> Bindings tab
  • JSONPATH Transformation from PaperUI -> Addons -> Transformations tab
4

You mean in the Tasmota console?

5

Ye, I’ve done that right at the start. Double checked, both are installed

6

Take a peek at the mqtt messages yourself. Use something like mqttspy or mosquitto_sub. It just seems to me that your statetopic is wrong/incomplete. It is also worth checking that your nodemcu is actually posting to mqtt

Here you go,if this is what you meant.

Ok, will try that.

As posted by @jcf6288 and @JimT you need a stateTopic starting with “tele” as you can see in your console log.
The device seems to have 4 relays (Power1 to 4), why don’t you switch them via MQTT ?

Note that for the openHAB 2.4 version of the MQTT binding when configured via things files you need to restart MQTT or the complete openHAB after a change to the things file for the MQTT things.

Oh boy, works like a charm now, thanks guys. I though I’m supposed to use the topic in the info file I posted above. Don’t worry about the relays, there aren’t any physical ones connected to the module yet, was just playing around.
