Missing IDX on Output - Domoticz MQTT Helper

[rct9]

I seemed to be missing the "IDX" field in my setup. I have seen other screenshots with the IDX field. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,

What controller do you have activated?

[rct9]

The controller I have enabled and working is "Domoticz MQTT".

Ignore please.

I must have screwed up something, after I re-flashed the image it appears to be working.

Thanks,

In case anyone runs into this issue:

I had a bit more time to look into this...

I was using the latest source on mega. The issue appears to stem from the changes made here https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEas ... 7fec799e52 which requires Device[deviceCount].SendDataOption to be true to show the IDX field.

I recompiled with that option to true on P029 and now the field appears and all is good.

Also, noticed the following issue. I was attempting to run this from Domoticz MQTT and it was not receiving MQTT messages. I think the messages Domoticz publishes on domoticz/out is greater than 256 bytes, so it was being rejected. I ended up having to change the limit to 512 (in controller.ino & pubsubclient.h) and it appears to be working, not sure how this will impact performance etc..

Thanks!

I had assumed that because the output doesn't return a message, the senddata flag wasn't required.
For me to be happy that an output has been activated (message not lost or whatever) I usually configure a button input on the same gpio to send status back.

*** Please, Please ***
It would really help if outputs could be controlled with the same topic structure as the sensors.
i.e. /Powersystem/Relay/Output instead of or as well as /Powersystem/gpio/12

I have had a good dig around in the code but I'm not up to decoding the relevant bits. I'm using OpenHAB MQTT but can only find the gpo being controlled in _C002 fr Domooticz.
Any help would be really appreciated.
