MQTT Initiate Event

[robinj]

I have a couple of events defined under the rules section which start timers and then switch gpio states. I can quite happily instigate these events using http requests as per the ESPEasy command reference below. Since event is a 'special' type, I gather I should also be able to trigger it using MQTT but seem unable to do this. Does anyone know if this actually works, Cannot find any examples on the web

Event Special Create an event, it's possible to send a float value along as well. event,<eventName>
event,<eventName>=<eventValue>

Many thanks

You can trigger an event by sending the payload to this topic:

Generic topic

Code: Select all

<MQTT subscribe template>/cmd

Event payload

Code: Select all

event,<eventName>=<eventValue>
