[SOLVED] Sonoff TH16, Almost working but not quite, can't see any mistakes

Turfrider · February 25, 2020, 12:15pm

I’ve followed a few different examples before ending up on this one.

Any suggestions to get me moving forwards?

Well that was one mistake. But no results.

channel="mqtt:topic:razamqtt:shed-heater:temperature"

Did you change the default Full Topic of the Sonoff device the start with “home/” ? Since you get a JSON response for one Channel it looks that way, however just checking!

The Firmware Version would only be updated if the “Status 2” was called from the device! I do that with a rule.

One Typo:
Type number : rssi “WiFi Signal Strength” [ stateTopic=“house/tele/shed-heater/STATE”, transformationPattern=“JSONPATH:$.Wifi.RSSI”]

Do you see any logentries when a state is changing?
Did you install the used Map and JSONPath transformations?

Turfrider · February 25, 2020, 5:37pm

Thanks for pointing out the typo. I hadn’t see that.

Yes added house/ at the start of path.

I can see the following broadcasted.
{“Time”:“2020-02-25T18:33:31”,“AM2301”:{“Temperature”:22.6,“Humidity”:49.6},“TempUnit”:“C”}

This made me smile and again thank you. I had been wondering if I had missed something and didn’t quite understand how the transformation would ‘just’ work. I have not installed the MAP or JSONPath transformations other than what you can see above.

I take this means I missed something on the example I followed and there should have been some additional information?
Where is this normally installed or placed?

opus · February 25, 2020, 5:41pm

I did edit my post above concerning “Status 2”!

Transformations can be installed immidiatly via PaperUI (AddOns -Transforamtions) or by adding them via the file “addons.cfg” (will work on next install).

Turfrider · February 25, 2020, 5:45pm

I have some things to look into, thanks for giving me a direction. I’ll find the information I was missing and then see.

I’ll look at rules later, I have typed STATUS2 on the console but it won’t update as it still needs transformation.

I’ll update here when I find more.

opus · February 25, 2020, 5:50pm

You need to type in Staus 2 (with a space!).

Turfrider · February 25, 2020, 5:52pm

This time that’s understood. It did make a difference. So that is progress!

Turfrider · February 25, 2020, 7:52pm

I initially misunderstood what transformation services were, back the documentation for me. Now that json and map transformations are installed most of the results are in. Reachability still isn’t updating but I’ve not looked into that yet.

Setting this to solved. Thanks for the help @opus

Edit - Solved the reachability.

reachable.map
Online=ON
Offline=OFF
