That setting got noting to do with folders or root. It's the topic settings for the MQTT protocol.

oh, ok.

then it was a missunderstood of my head

what is it you're trying to do?

if you want to see what ESP is sending to MQTT so you know how to define your items in openhab then you can sub to mqtt like:

mosquitto_sub -h IPofYOURbroker -t '#'

and then get the ESP to send something. then you'll see exactly what's happening and you can transfer that to openhab

output from mosquitto:

Code: Select all

/UtilityRoom/Furnace_Temp/FUR_IN 71.71
/UtilityRoom/furnaceTemp/FUR_OUT 70.81
/UtilityRoom/Evaporator_Temp/EVP_TEMP 71.94
/UtilityRoom/uptime/urUptime 4238.00
/beacon/sensor/journey-signal/state -71

so an item definition in openhab would look like:

Code: Select all

Number	Evap 						"Furnace evap Temp [%.1f °F]"		<temperature>	(nestTemps1,gTemps)		{ mqtt="<[oh2:/UtilityRoom/Evaporator_Temp/EVP_TEMP:state:default]" }
