[SOLVED] Sonoff RfBridge Button setup

Mwild · February 1, 2019, 4:56pm

Ok I’ve followed both of those pages and now have a MQTT Broker thing defined and connected to my MQTT broker.

Am I ready for the next part?

vzorglub · February 1, 2019, 7:04pm

Yes, create a MQTT generic thing and then create a string channel to send a value on the topic the sonoff RF listens to

Mwild · February 1, 2019, 8:42pm

is this right?

Bridge mqtt:broker:mosquitto [ host="localhost", secure=false, username="openhab", 
password="habopen" ]
{
    Thing topic genericthing {
    Channels:
        Type string : tvscreen "TV Screen" [ stateTopic="tasmota/cmnd/sonoff-rfbridge/" ]
    }
}

vzorglub · February 1, 2019, 8:44pm

Probably not.
What topic do you need to publish to for the sonoff to send the RF command?

Then it would be: commandTopic=the/topic

Without \ at the end

Mwild · February 1, 2019, 8:47pm

the bridge is setup to listen to the tasmota/cmnd/sonoff-bridge/ topic,

so my setup should be:

Bridge mqtt:broker:mosquitto [ host="localhost", secure=false, username="openhab", password="habopen" ]
{
    Thing topic genericthing {
    Channels:
        Type string : tvscreen "TV Screen" [ commandTopic="tasmota/cmnd/sonoff-rfbridge" ]
    }
}

my sonoff mqtt config is the following:

MQTT Host	192.168.1.xxx
MQTT Port	1883
MQTT User	openhab
MQTT Client	sonoff-rfbridge
MQTT Topic	sonoff-rfbridge
MQTT Group Topic	sonoffs
MQTT Full Topic	tasmota/cmnd/sonoff-rfbridge/
MQTT Fallback Topic	cmnd/sonoff-rfbridge_fb/

vzorglub · February 1, 2019, 8:58pm

Ok, looks ok.

What happens when you send a command AAB03C04081374027600DC13BA381929292929292929292929292929292929292A192A1A1A1A192A1A1929292A1A1929292929292A192A19292A192A19292955 to the topic?

Use an MQTT utility like MQTTfx, MQTTspy or even MQTT explorer (New kid on the block and brilliant)

Mwild · February 1, 2019, 9:07pm

Ok if I publish the following

tasmota/cmnd/sonoff-rfbridge/command:ON:rfraw AAB03C04081374027600DC13BA381929292929292929292929292929292929292A192A1A1A1A192A1A1929292A1A1929292929292A192A19292A192A19292955

I see this in the sonoff console:

22:06:49 MQT: tasmota/stat/sonoff-rfbridge/RESULT = {"Command":"Unknown"}

vzorglub · February 1, 2019, 9:22pm

Ok, you need to find out what is a valid command. This will be in the tasmota wiki or here in the forum if someone has used the sonoff rf before

Mwild · February 1, 2019, 9:56pm

Ok figured it out.

If I publish to the topic

tasmota/cmnd/sonoff-rfbridge/rfraw

with payload

AAB03C04081374027600DC13BA381929292929292929292929292929292929292A192A1A1A1A192A1A1929292A1A1929292929292A192A19292A192A19292955

The screen operates as I expect.

vzorglub · February 1, 2019, 10:17pm

Excellent!! Well done
Change the thing as follow:

        Type string : tvscreen "TV Screen" [ commandTopic="tasmota/cmnd/sonoff-rfbridge/rfraw" ]

So next step, create a file called sonoffrf.map in the tranform folder with the following content:

up=AAB03C04081374027600DC13BA381929292929292929292929292929292929292A192A1A1A1A192A1A1929292A1A1929292929292A192A19292A192A19292955
stop=AAB03C0408137E026C00DC13A6381929292929292929292929292929292929292A192A1A1A1A192A1A1929292A1A1929292929292A1A1A19292A192A192A1955
down=AAB03C0408136A027600DC13C4381929292929292929292929292929292929292A192A1A1A1A192A1A1929292A1A192929292929292A1A19292A19292A1A1955

Which UI are you using?

Mwild · February 1, 2019, 10:22pm

Ok, done both of those things.

I use the basic ui currently. Config files rather than paper ui for config.

vzorglub · February 1, 2019, 11:00pm

Ok, so you need two elements on your sitemap and one switch item:
You also need to link the sonoff channel to an item
item first
in an items file:

Switch TVScreen
String TVScreenCommand { channel="xxxxxxxxx" } // Copy the channel from the paperUI

In the sitemap:

Switch item=TVScreen label="TV Screen UP" mappings=[ON="UP"]
Switch item=TVScreen label="TV Screen DOWN" mappings=[OFF="DOWN"]

And then 2 rules in a rules file:

rule "TV Screen UP"
when
    Item TVScreen received command ON
then
    TVScreenCommand.sendCommand(transform("MAP", "sonoffrf.map", "up"))
end

rule "TV Screen DOWN"
when
    Item TVScreen received command OFF
then
    TVScreenCommand.sendCommand(transform("MAP", "sonoffrf.map", "down"))
    createTimer(now.plusSeconds(5), [ |
        TVScreenCommand.sendCommand(transform("MAP", "sonoffrf.map", "stop"))
    ])
end

Mwild · February 1, 2019, 11:02pm

Sound simple enough. Signing off for the night so will give it a try in the morning and let you know! Thanks for your help!

vzorglub · February 1, 2019, 11:07pm

A pleasure to help some eager to learn and find out stuff by themselves

Mwild · February 2, 2019, 2:12pm

Hello again,

I have done the last things you mentioned but they sonoff isn’t seeing any messages published. If I subscribe to the topic in my MQTT viewer the messages also aren’t coming through.

Here’s my configuration files:

Projector.items -

Switch TVScreen
String TVScreenCommand { channel="mqtt:topic:mosquitto:genericthing:tvscreen" }

mqtt.things

 mqtt:broker:mosquitto [ host="127.0.0.1",secure=false, username="openhab", password="habopen" ]

Bridge mqtt:broker:mosquitto [ host="localhost", secure=false, username="openhab", password="habopen" ]
{
    Thing topic genericthing {
    Channels:
	    Type string : tvscreen "TV Screen" [ commandTopic="tasmota/cmnd/sonoff-rfbridge/rfraw" ]
    }
}

projector.rules

rule "TV Screen UP"
when
    Item TVScreen received command ON
then
    TVScreenCommand.sendCommand(transform("MAP", "sonoffrf.map", "up"))
end

rule "TV Screen DOWN"
when
    Item TVScreen received command OFF
then
    TVScreenCommand.sendCommand(transform("MAP", "sonoffrf.map", "down"))
    createTimer(now.plusSeconds(5), [ |
        TVScreenCommand.sendCommand(transform("MAP", "sonoffrf.map", "stop"))
    ])
end

default.sitemap

Switch item=TVScreen label="TV Screen UP" mappings=[ON="UP"]
Switch item=TVScreen label="TV Screen DOWN" mappings=[OFF="DOWN"]

The only thing I can think I had to input into your example config was the channel name. The channel name was the generic mqtt string thing from paper ui: mqtt:topic:mosquitto:genericthing:tvscreen

Any ideas why this might not be working?

the logs show the following

If you are on 2.4 you need to restart openHAB after modifying the things file.

Mwild · February 2, 2019, 5:51pm

Aha the good old restart! Works as expected! Thank you very much for your help!

Hello,

i hope you can help me, i will do the same, but with the cmnd/Sonoff-RF-Bridge/Backlog command.

this is my last thing i have to change to the mqtt 2.4 version.

i have a intertechno cmr 1000 with 433mhz that i will use.

this was my working mqtt v1 config:

Rollershutter Rollershutter_GF_Living_1    					"Wohnzimmer Links"  							<rollershutter>	(GF_Living, Shutterswz) 					{ mqtt=">[mosquitto:cmnd/Sonoff-RF-Bridge/Backlog:command:up:RfSync 11310; RfLow 360; RfHigh 1050; RfCode #000015],>[mosquitto:cmnd/Sonoff-RF-Bridge/Backlog:command:down:RfSync 11310; RfLow 360; RfHigh 1060; RfCode #000014]" }

what i have tried with the mqtt v2.4 binding:

Type switch : switchrfA "Wohnzimmer Links"   	   [ stateTopic="stat/Sonoff-RF-Bridge/RESULT", commandTopic="cmnd/Sonoff-RF-Bridge/Backlog", UP="RfSync 11310; RfLow 360; RfHigh 1050; RfCode #000015", DOWN="RfSync 11310; RfLow 360; RfHigh 1060; RfCode #000014"]

Rollershutter Rollershutter_GF_Living_1    					"Wohnzimmer Links"  							<rollershutter>	(GF_Living, Shutterswz) 					{channel="mqtt:topic:mosquitto:Sonoff_RF_GF_Living:switchrfA", autoupdate="false"}

on that i got no error, in the logs i see the item is changing to UP and DOWN, but no rf command is sending…

and secound try:

Type string : switchrfA "Wohnzimmer Links"   	   [ stateTopic="stat/Sonoff-RF-Bridge/RESULT", commandTopic="cmnd/Sonoff-RF-Bridge/Backlog", on="RfSync 11310; RfLow 360; RfHigh 1050; RfCode #000015", off="RfSync 11310; RfLow 360; RfHigh 1060; RfCode #000014", on="UP", off="DOWN" ]

String Rollershutter_GF_Living_1    					    "Wohnzimmer Links"  							<rollershutter>	(GF_Living, Shutterswz) 					{channel="mqtt:topic:mosquitto:Sonoff_RF_GF_Living:switchrfA", autoupdate="false"}

Switch item=Rollershutter_GF_Living_1 mappings=[ON="UP", OFF="DOWN"] label="Rollo Links"

here the same.

the ,on=“UP”, off=“DOWN” in the thing file i have only on one, on a secound i have it without this, is also not woking!
i dont know how do i need to write this that its working

i can receive rf data with the mqtt 2.4 binding

vzorglub · November 2, 2019, 9:16pm

Did you check what is actually being published to the MQTT broker?
Use MQTT Explorer
