[SOLVED] Problem with MQTT2 and Sonoff T1 (Tasmota forked)

Hi guys,

I ran into a strange problem with a Sonoff T1 EU 2 gang with flashed Tasmota fork by Stefan Bode and MQTT2. The fork has additionally support for rollershutters which I want to use.

The embedded MQTT broker is currently used and works fine.

My mqtt.things file:

Bridge mqtt:broker:broker "Mosquitto" [ host="localhost", port=1883, secure=false, username="someuser", password="somepassword", clientID="openHAB2" ]
{ 
   Thing topic sonoff-DEXXXX "T1 #2" {
        Type rollershutter : blinds "Rollo2" [ stateTopic="stat/sonoff-DEXXXX/SHUTTER1", commandTopic="cmnd/sonoff-DEXXXX/backlog", up="shutteropen", down="shutterclose", stop="shutterstop" ]
    }
}

The .items:

Rollershutter T1 "Snoff T1" { channel="mqtt:topic:broker:sonoff-DEXXXX:blinds" }

The sitemap:

sitemap hometest label="meine Testumgebung" {

	Frame label="Test mit Switch" {
		Switch item=T1
	}
}

The problem now is: The state is reported from time to time but I’m not able to send commands. When I click on UP for example the following is logged:

019-02-27 21:47:33.318 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'T1' received command UP

2019-02-27 21:47:33.324 [nt.ItemStatePredictedEvent] - T1 predicted to become UP

==> /var/log/openhab2/openhab.log <==

Similar effect by clicking DOWN or STOP.

Sending “cmnd/sonoff-DEXXXX/backlog shutteropen” directly on the Tasmota Console the device works as expected:

The goal is to control the blinds via openHAB. I’m running openHAB 2.5.0~S1534-1 (Build #1534) on a RaspberryPi 3 Mod. B

Did I miss something? Hints and suggestions are very welcome…
Thanks in advance

I’m afraid the rollershutter channel is a bit broken at the moment. I didn’t get the concept when I first implemented the binding. It should be possible to use a dimmer item instead and send a number as a temporary solution.

Hi David,

thanks for your reply. The workaround using a dimmer item works for now. This is the current mqtt.thing:

Bridge mqtt:broker:broker "Mosquitto" [ host="localhost", port=1883, secure=false, username="someuser", password="somepassword", clientID="openHAB2" ]
{
    // T1 Testschalter 2 mit Stefan Bode Fork
    Thing topic sonoff-DEXXXX "T1 #2" {
        Type rollershutter : blinds "Rollo2" [ stateTopic="stat/sonoff-DEXXXX/SHUTTER1", commandTopic="cmnd/sonoff-DEXXXX/shutterposition" ]
    }

I’m looking forward to the final version the rollershutter channel is working.

Regards Ingo
