Hello all, I my Openhab2 i used a SSR relay that is turned ON/OFF with the command 1/0 To get that working a had to make a rule that sanded the commend 1 or 0 to a mqtt topic to turn the relay on or off. No i installed Openhab3 created a mosquitto broker added as thing, than added my sensors and …

[image] diado: Now in Openhab3 do i still have to make a rule that sand the command 1 or 0 to the mqtt topic No, you don’t need a rule. If this is defined using the UI, check the custom on/off parameters for this Channel. If you’re using Things files, just add on=1, off=0 to your Channel conf…

[image] diado: e relay, with a channel, and that works. But it sand the commend ON or OFF to the mqtt topic. Now in Openhab3 do i still have to make a rule that sand the command 1 or 0 to the mqtt topic ? and if so how would i do that ? Greetings How are you defining the item? If it’s define…

Out of curiosity can you do with with an item that does not have an associated binding/channel? I have an item for my tablets that is a contact OPEN/CLOSED for when they are docked. Can we remap those to OPEN=Undocked, CLOSED=Docked? I couldn’t get this to work without an associated thing/ch…

[image] dotelpenguin: OPEN=Undocked, CLOSED=Docked You could maybe use a MAP transform, either at the Item (or Sitemap level, if relevant). Presumably you’re taking about a wish to display a different value, whilst OP wants to send a different value?

Thanks for the reply’s I now use UI. Its working, the custom on/off parameters was already filled in with 1 and 0. But had to type in 1 and 0 and now its working. Thanks! Greetings

That worked, I was having problems, but it seamed to take a few minutes for my changes to take. I was being too impatient.

Hi, sorry to tag onto this topic, but I have a problem in reverse. I’m using MQTT to receive the status of a DCS alarm system. I do have switches (some state and some with command topics). Now with switches that MQTT gets custom values (in my case ‘1T’ and ‘1D’) everything works and the switch disp…

[image] Andr: use default setting for a switch channel (0 and 1 for off and on) Reading between the lines of what you and others have reported, this doesn’t appear to work with default. Maybe that’s actually a UI issue. Trying setting 0 and 1 positively.

Hi, I also do not think that this is a UI issue. I did specifically set 1 and 0 with no effect, although UI does fill these values into the setup fields if you try to leave them empty. I’m a bit desperate for a workaround since I have eliminated the UI config out and think this is either a bug or…

[image] Andr: I’m a bit desperate for a workaround since I have eliminated the UI config out and think this is either a bug or config beyond the UI. For your Thing, can you go to the Code tab, and then copy/paste the YAML in-between code fences ?

@hafniumzinc Than you for pointing me to the code tab. Issue solved. Let me explain. If I leave on/off values empty in the UI, those get populated with 0 and 1 by default. However, if I look at the code, it results in this: - id: pgm8 channelTypeUID: mqtt:switch label: PGM 8 description: "" co…
