[SOLVED] MQTT Binding 2.4 manual configuration of Bridge and Things

Add-ons Bindings

Hi

I made a test to switch a Shelly 2 with MQTT.

I managed to configure MQTT Broker, Things and Items automatically. Because I want more control I tried to setup everything manually with things and items files. This works fine too.

For structural reasons, I tried to separate broker and shelly.things file - a separate things file for the broker and a separate for the shellies (ans separate files for other devices which will come later, I’m sure).
Unfortunatelly I didn’t get it to work after separation.

Has anyone manged to do this?

Thanks a lot

// Separate here into 2 separate things files...

{
  Thing topic Sh_Sw_Shelly01 "Sh_Sw_Shelly01" @ "MQTT" { // this must be then something like mqtt:topic:Mqtt_Broker_xxx:Sh_Sw_Shelly01
    Channels:
      Type switch : Schalter "Switch" [ stateTopic="shellies/shellyswitch-xxx/relay/0", commandTopic="shellies/shellyswitch-32BF97/relay/0/command", on="on", off="off" ]

  } // end of thing
}
