Thermostat Controll via MQTT

[rossko57]

I think there would be a workaround with a rule as well

example

Publish MQTT message with JSON payload

I found an workaround through a rule: Items: Switch button String locationRequest "[%s]" {mqtt=">[rabbit:owntracks/peter/phone/cmd:command:*:default]"} Sitemaps: Switch item=button label="Update" mappings=[ON="Now"] Rules: rule "mqtt publish" when Item button received command then locationRequest.sendCommand("{\"_type\":\"cmd\",\"action\":\"reportLocation\"}") end Hope it helps Peter

You’d probably use an interim String Item to do the sending when your existing Number Itemis commanded.
