pimatic-mqtt@0.9.13

@dnl0319 you need a mqtt broker when you want to connect pimatic-mqtt to a device like gosund. You can’t connect directly a mqtt device to the mqtt plugin. There’s always a broker in between.
The simplest setup is a broker on your system were Pimatic is installed and no authentication. Like is mentioned in the plugins README

While run MQTT broker on localhost and on a standard port, without autentification,
you can load the plugin by editing your config.json to include the following in the plugins section.

{
  "plugin": "mqtt",
  "active": true,
  "brokers": [
    {
      "brokerId": "default"
    }
  ]
}

That seems the config your are using, but as i now understand without an installed mqtt broker. That will not work. The mqtt plugin and the gosund need both to ‘talk’ to the broker.

You can use mosquitto as local broker. There’s a thread on the forum you can use to install mosquitto. When you run stretch OS you need to change ‘…/mosquitto-wheezy.list’ into ‘…/mosquitto-stretch.list’.

Thank you for your help. I think it might worked now. At least I didn’t get this message.

I installed mosquito with this guide: Guide

Do I have to do anything else?

@dnl0319 did you test the broker?

@bertreb said in pimatic-mqtt@0.9.13:

@dnl0319 did you test the broker?

How can I do that?

I successfully started mosquito with:

sudo /etc/init.d/mosquitto start

@dnl0319
You can run the command 'sudo /etc/init.d/mosquitto status’
When the status is ‘running’, you can configure pimatic and the device to use the broker. The url of the broker is the ip number of your pi (if you installed it there).

Yes, Mosquito is running and I can add the Gosund smartplugs. Thank you for your help!

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with the godsend smart plugs. I hope some one can help me.
I have 3 samartplugs. one is flashed with Tasmota Version 6.6.0(release-sonoff) and two are flashed with Program Version 7.0.0.3(tasmota).

The Plug with Version 6.6.0 works perfectly in pimatic. But the two plugs with Version 7.0.0.3 didn’t work. I can’t get them integrate to pimatic. topic is the same but no function.

I can connect on the webif and can switch them on and of but I can’t switch them via pimatic.

I have some one can help.

Thank you in advance.

Here the pimatic config for mqtt that I got.

    {
      "debug": true,
      "brokers": [
        {
          "brokerId": "default"
        }
      ],
      "plugin": "mqtt",
      "active": true
    },

I’ve got mosquito running on my Pi aswell.

No
the config of the device that is not working.
One device works, two others not. We need the config of this devices. Not the config of the mqtt plugin.

I’m not sure if this is enough because I tried to finde a cfg file but I couldn’t find anything.

This is the config of Tasmota…
We need the config in Pimatic.
Like:

      "topic": "cmnd/Bad/Power",
      "id": "bad",
      "name": "Lüfter Badezimmer",
      "class": "MqttSwitch",
      "onMessage": "ON",
      "offMessage": "OFF",
      "stateTopic": "stat/Bad/POWER",
      "xOnLabel": "An",
      "xOffLabel": "Aus"
    },

    },

Okay, haha sorry. Now I know what you mean. Here you go.

{
      "brokerId": "default",
      "topic": "cmnd/rig/POWER1",
      "onMessage": "on",
      "offMessage": "OFF",
      "stateTopic": "stat/rig/POWER1",
      "id": "rig",
      "name": "Rig",
      "class": "MqttSwitch",
      "xConfirm": true
    },

Is this the same device?
The Tasmota config shows test2, the Pimatic shows rig.
On- and Off Message has to be in capital letters. ON not on
Is this a multiple device? Then POWER1 is correct.
A single device uses just POWER

No it is not the same device as above.

  {
       "brokerId": "default",
       "topic": "cmnd/test2/POWER1",
       "onMessage": "on",
       "offMessage": "OFF",
       "stateTopic": "stat/test2/POWER1",
       "id": "test2",
       "name": "test2",
       "class": "MqttSwitch",
       "xConfirm": true
    },

I use the same config for „rig“ as for „test2“. I just change the topic.

Okay I will try that with capital letters. But why does this work on the other smartplug with the version 6.6.0. Does this has been changed in the newer version?

No I don’t think it is an multiple device. It is just one smart plug. Okay I will change this.

Okay I tried to use capital letters for ON and OFF. Also I changed POWER1 to POWER but also no change. I can’t switch the plug thru pimatic.

@dnl0319 do yo have a possiblity to test the smartplug via a mqtt emulator? MQTT.fx or the mosquitto tool or any… This is the easiast way to test and play with the commands towards the smartplug. The mqtt broker will be in the middle, but that should be transparant.
Btw why would you move to tasmota 7 if 6 already works?

If you give me advice how to do this with a mqtt emulator? I’ve never done this.

I’ve had the one with version 6.6.0 already and bought new ones and friend of mine flashed the smart plugs with version 7.0.0.3.

@dnl0319 you could ask your friend to reflash with version 6.6.0
For a mac you can use MQTT.fx. On your pi you can use the mosquitto_pub etc commands. One of the mqtt tool overviews
For example on the mosquitto site your can find the mosquitto_pub manual. Or enough internet how-to’s on this.

Hi,
i run under windows MQTT.fx
