MqttSwitch OnMessage and State value issues

---

Hello,

I have a device which utilises a MqttSwitch

The topic for On / Off controll is

broadlink/power/1

and requires the following to be sent to turn on the device
On
and the following to be sent to turn off the device
Off

The state topic is
broadlink/state/pwr1
when the device is On it posts a 1
when the deviceis Off it posts a 0

I am having difficutlies for the Pimatic status to follow the 1 and 0 Mqtt output when I have defined the onMessage/offMessage as On/Off

I can also request the hardware to post output the status as JSON which provides me with the following output for pwr1 being off.

{"pwr": 0, "pwr1": 0, "pwr2": 0, "maxworktime": 0, "maxworktime1": 0, "maxworktime2": 0, "idcbrightness": 56}

Do I need to impliment some kind of stateValueKey along with JSON output and onMessage/offMessage defined to track the status and allow control of the device from Pimatic?

Thanks

Imp

Hi, when you use JSON as status format you could try the value pwr1 as stateValueKey

Thanks for confirming this.

I have the device working as I wanted!
