MQTT <> Domoticz

#1 Post by Prutsium » 23 Jul 2018, 12:41

Hi All,

Is currently the MQTT for Domoticz within ESP Easy still 1 way traffic?
I know its written in the Wiki it can only send MQTT to Domoticz and not receive from Domoticz but maybe something has changed and Wiki not updated???

Thanks,
Jerome

You can use a device 'Domoticz MQTT Helper' to set switches or dimmers through MQTT.

Damn that's a workaround ......
Means if i want a switch to be updated from domoticz (via MQTT) i must create a Helper switch together with a rule to get the switch or status back to its original.
Why is the Domoticz/in not implemented would be way more easier i believe.

Really considering right now to use for my Switches Tasmota as then i would have the status and function from MQTT after a reboot of the ESP (MQTT Remain)

Yes, it is a workaround.
But maybe you can implement a better solution and enhance EspEasy...
