Hello,
I am using MQTT import plugin to read a topic and display its value on OLED. The import works fine but displaying the value of the variable doesnt work,
Code: Select all
on motor#ONOFFSTATE do
if [motor#ONOFFSTATE]>0
OLEDCMD,on
OLED,3,1,Motor ON
OLED,4,1,Motor [motor#ONOFFSTATE] //DOESNT WORK
else
OLED,3,1,Motor OFF
OLED,4,1,Motor [motor#ONOFFSTATE] //DOESNT WORK
endif
OLED,1,1, %systm_hm_am%
endon
What is the right way of display MQTT topic in a rule?
Thanks

You could try setting it in quotes, like this:
OLED,4,1,"Motor [motor#ONOFFSTATE]"
Problem with rules parsing is that the space is also a parameter separator.
N.B. this quotes feature is added very recently. Not sure if it will work like this, but you could try.

Unfortunately, that did not work. The error was , Command unknown ". The quotes was not accepted. I am running ESP_Easy_mega-20180804_normal_ESP8266_4096.bin

I am using the following rule,
Code: Select all
On System#Boot do //When the ESP boots, do
OLEDCMD,clear
endon
on motor#ONOFFSTATE do
if [motor#ONOFFSTATE]>0
OLEDCMD,on
OLED,2,1,"Motor ON"
OLED,3,1,"Motor [motor#ONOFFSTATE]"
else
OLED,2,1,"Motor OFF"
OLED,3,1,"Motor [motor#ONOFFSTATE]"
endif
endon
On switching on the nodemcu I get a single message "MOTOR OFF", I dont get the second line which should say, "MOTOR 0".

With your rule i get an error in the log,
Code: Select all
6799: EVENT: MQTT#Connected
7154: IMPT : [motor#ONOFFSTATE] : 1.00
7156: EVENT: motor#ONOFFSTATE=1.00
7172: ACT : OLEDCMD,on
7181: ACT : OLEDCMD,2,1,'Motor ON'
7190: ACT : OLEDCMD,3,1,'Motor 1.00'
7208: Command: oledcmd
7208: Command unknown: 'oledcmd'
7355: IMPT : [motor#PRESSURE] : 0.00
7356: EVENT: motor#PRESSURE=0.00
7654: IMPT : [motor#OLEDSTATE] : 1.00
7655: EVENT: motor#OLEDSTATE=1.00
Looking at this
page, OLEDCMD only accepts 1 arguement.
