Specs:
openhabian pi3
build 2.4.0.-1 (ran latest updates a week ago)
mosquito installed via putty
mqtt 2.4.0 binding
embedded broker installed as well
Thing:
Nodemcu running ESPeasy
devices are oled screen, DHT temp/humidity sensor and a PIR sensor.
I’m currently working on the DHT temp sensor
If I run:
Bridge mqtt:broker:myBroker [ host="192.168.2.153", username="openhabian", password="openhabian", secure=false ]
{
Channels:
Type number : temperature "Temperature" [stateTopic="/NW_Bedroom/DHT/Temperature" ]
}
//Test MQTT
Number Test123 "Temperature [%.1f °F]" {channel="mqtt:topic:NW_Bedroom:temperature", autoupdate="true" }
I can see it reading in logs:
2019-02-03 09:11:04.421 [vent.ChannelTriggeredEvent] - mqtt:broker:myBroker:temperature triggered 69.1
however I can’t see a “thing” or any “items”.
My understanding, my code for Thing should be something along these lines:
Bridge mqtt:broker:myBroker [ host="192.168.2.153", username="openhabian", password="openhabian", secure=false ]
{
Thing mqtt:topic:NW_Bedroom "Bedroom" @ "NW Bedroom" {
Channels:
Type number : temperature "Temperature" [stateTopic="DHT/Temperature" ]
}
}
logs dont show the thing or item however I do see the:
2019-02-03 09:19:26.444 [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - ‘mqtt:broker:myBroker’ changed from OFFLINE to ONLINE
I’ve had no success. I’ve spent a week on this. Literally read every thread I can find. What am I missing and/or doing wrong?

I tried the Thing the way you suggest but it goes offline, goes back online with mqtt:topic. I’ve also tried the channel every which way I can think of. Leading / etc.
Did you make the change to the channel, adding the broker name, like in my post above? Also when editing the thing file on 2.x binding you will need to restart OH for the binding to work.
You the man!! (or woman), rebooted and it came online and shows proper on paperui. Seriously I’ve spent so much time on this, i bet the entire time it was because I was not rebooting.
Can I send you a NodeMCU or maybe some zigbee sensors as a thankyou? PM if you’re interested.
