domoticz to MQTT topic

[emme]

Ciao,
Since the MQTT messages are almost a replication of the Log, it is quite a mess to work with them, the only way to work with it is to grab the IDX value.

I have few flows in node-red that handle lights/group, multimedia devices and security.
those 3 blocks are handled by a switch block that gets the IDX and do what it is supposed to do...

actually the message sent is the followig:

Code: Select all

{
 "idx" : 5,
 "name" : "Internal Temperature",
 "id" : "00080A",
 "unit" : 1 
 "dtype" : "Temp",
 "stype" : "TFA 30.3133",
 "nvalue" : 0,
 "svalue1" : "41.2",
 "Battery" : 100,
 "RSSI" : 12,
}

I was wondering if there is the possibility to assign a MQTT topic to each device and add it payload sent...

Code: Select all

{
 "idx" : 5,
 "name" : "Internal Temperature",
 "id" : "00080A",
 "unit" : 1 
 "dtype" : "Temp",
 "stype" : "TFA 30.3133",
 "nvalue" : 0,
 "svalue1" : "41.2",
 "Battery" : 100,
 "RSSI" : 12,
 "topic": "TempSensors"
}

this way it would be much more easy to understand what device has done what...

thanks
ciao

Hello Emme,

If the topic is added to the object that Domoticz sends out you can't filter just the topic out.
In that case you need to make a switch to determine your topic.

if domoticz/out/tempsensors you only receive the topic your are subscribed to from your broker.

better would be:

domoticz/out/sensors/temperature
domoticz/out/sensors/humidity

or

domoticz/out/sensors (as general)
