Add-ons Bindings

I am trying to send on/off mqtt command to a zigbee plug binded to my zigbee2tasmota bridge.Command topic is cmnd/zbBridge/ZbSend but i somehow have to send with that a payload like { “device”:“zbPlug1”, “send”:{“Power”:“On”} } or { “device”:“zbPlug1”, “send”:{“Power”:“Off”} } .I clearly have no idea how to do that :slight_smile: .
i have setup my channel like this

Click “Show Advanced”, then check the binding documentation for how to use to Format Before Publish stuff.

Hi

I’m struggling with the same, but can’t find a solution. To toggle a zigbee switch I can execute the command : ZbSend {"Device":"niko_socket_01","Send":{"Power":toggle}}

I’ve this in my Thing, but the command is not working. Reading the state of the switch is working perfect.

- id: power2
    channelTypeUID: mqtt:string
    label: Power switch
    description: null
    configuration:
      commandTopic: cmnd/sonoffbridge/ZbSend
      transformationPatternOut: {"Device":"niko_socket_01","Send":{"Power":toggle}}
      stateTopic: tele/sonoffbridge/niko_socket_01/SENSOR
      transformationPattern: REGEX:(.*\"Power\".*)∩JSONPATH:$.ZbReceived.niko_socket_01.Power

You need to use the format before publish feature, as mentioned two posts above yours.

tried it today (was on holiday last week), bit without luck.

Sending a the command {"Device":"niko_socket_01","Send":{"Power":0}} or {"Device":"niko_socket_01","Send":{"Power":1}} to topic cmnd/sonoffbridge/ZbSend via eg MQTT Explorer works.

  - id: power2
    channelTypeUID: mqtt:switch
    label: Power switch
    description: null
    configuration:
      commandTopic: cmnd/sonoffbridge/ZbSend
      formatBeforePublish: '{"Device":"niko_socket_01","Send":{"Power":%s}}'
      stateTopic: tele/sonoffbridge/niko_socket_01/SENSOR
      transformationPattern: REGEX:(.*\"Power\".*)∩JSONPATH:$.ZbReceived.niko_socket_01.Power
      off: "0"
      on: "1"

What am I missing?

What do you see in MQTT Explorer when you command the linked Item from with openHAB?

Nothing to see in MQTT Explorer, it seems that OH doesn’t sent anything.
I think this has to do because I’m sending a json and not a normal string.

I saw another post and tried this: '{\"Device\":\"niko_socket_01\",\"Send\":{\"Power\":%s}}', but without luck.

Others do it via a rule, this is working fine:

val value = '{\"Device\":\"niko_socket_01\",\"Send\":{\"Power\":toggle}}'  
val actions = getActions("mqtt","mqtt:broker:mosquitto")
actions.publishMQTT("cmnd/sonoffbridge/ZbSend",value)

So maybe I need to continue from the rule…
