MQTT Audo-discovery

[rron]

You need to set the prefix the same at both sides, so change the domoticz prefix in ZWAVEJS2MQTT to homeassistant as well when that is what you have defined in domoticz/mqtt.
That topic prefix is used to exchange the device CONFIG topics & payload for auto discovery!

Still the same error

OK... now check mqtt for the config messages send.
They should be in topic homeassistant and clean out all retained message in the wrong place topic domoticz.

I cannot see any config message in MQTT explorer.

If this is your zwavejs config then that still uses domoticz as the prefix instead of homeassistant. Looks like you changed the name, not the prefix (on the second line).

[jvdz]

You really need to get rid of all those homeassistant topic message as they all seem to be status update messages which should not be the case. They should be standard in the ZWAVE topic. Did you change that default too?
Also check your domoticz topic for any retained messages from the ZWAVEJS2MQTT gateway and get rid of those too.
Review your ZWAVEJS2MQTT and set the discovery topic to homeassistant and set the status update topic to zwave and ensure this config becomes active.
After that you should see the config payload in MQTTExplorer.

EDIT: Just checked the ZWAVEJS2MQTT settings and these need to be checked (these are the defaults as far as I remember):
MQTT
Name: A unique name that identifies the Gateway.
Host url: The url of the broker. Insert the protocol if present, example: tls://localhost. Mqtt supports these protocols: mqtt, mqtts, tcp, tls, ws and wss
Port: Broker port
Reconnect period: Milliseconds between two reconnection tries
Prefix: zwave

Home Assistant
WS Server: Enable Z-Wave JS websocket server. This can be used by the official Home Assistant Z-Wave integration to automatically create entities
MQTT discovery: Enable this to use MQTT discovery. This is an alternative to the official integration. (more about this here)
Discovery Prefix: homeassistant

Still the same errors. I red different topics and combined the setting mentioned. This is what I have now:

MQTT PREFIX in ZWAVEJS2MQTT is still wrong! That sends the status updates and they should not go into the same topic as the autodiscovery (homeassistant)!
As stated in my previous post: That should be ZWAVE which it is by default.

Still errors I think I changed everything you said.But the mqtt devices are in domoticz and working.When I restart the messages appear again.

I'm following this too as I'm trying with no luck to get Auto Discovery working with both Z-Wave & Zigbee.

Well itś working only with a lot off error messages in the logfile. I cann't see what is wrong.

[mark.sellwood]

I haven't got that far, all I get is errors, I think I haven t configured ZWaveJS2MQTT correctly, so looking to see what others have done so I can follow.

[McMelloW]

Well itś working only with a lot off error messages in the logfile. I cann't see what is wrong.

I left the fields Topic In Prefix: & Topic Out Prefix: empty and only Auto Discovery Prefix: contains text. It works OK for me.

I also tried that but that doesn't change the error messages. The message are only in the startup cyclus and after some time the are gone. If you change something the error is visible again.

[McMelloW]

Restart of Domoticz

[rron]

Restart of Domoticz

Done several times, no luck. Is it possible to post your settings? Perhaps I have overlocked something.

[jvdz]

Did you remove all retained OLD wrong Messages from topic "HOMEASSISTANT" or else you will still be getting these errors each time you start Domoticz?

See https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/MQTT#Debugging_MQTT

So, Just clean out TOPIC HOMEASSISTANT and probably also DOMOTICZ, as you had them initially in the wrong places.
