Hi all,
why is setting up MQTT on ESPeasy so complicated compared to Tasmota?
In Tasmota I was done in 2 Min.
In ESPeasy there are several MQTT options in Protocol with several settings.
I choose HomeAssistant MQTT, but even after several attemts I am only able to retrieve data in FHEM as MQTT2_device,
but having same Topic structure as in Tasmota or sending MQTT commands to ESPeasy is just not working for me, after several attempts.
Any advice how to solve this?
Tasmota:
/SmartHome/Steckdosen/%topic%/%prefix%/
/SmartHome/Steckdosen/Sonoff-S20-01/tele/STATE:.* { json2nameValue($EVENT) }
ESPeasy:
/SmartHome/%tskname%/%valname%/
ESP_Easy5:/SmartHome/Klimaanlage/settings/:.* { json2nameValue($EVENT) }
e.g.: Why does ESPeasy set the CID in front of the topic?
Why does ESPeays use different namings? I thought 'topic' is a standard convention in MQTT naming?
Never really paid attention, but now I find 'tskname' for the devices in the list of devices also confusing. Task in List of Devices should be renamed to ID
and %tskname% should be %devicename%.
thx

Re: MQTT complicated in espeasy
I totally agree with the confusion. The naming convention goes way back from the early days of this FW. We will have a look at that in due time.
