Were you able to get all working with the correct topic names? :)

Were you able to get all working with the correct topic names?
Thank you for your interest. To be honest. Not yet. A bit confused.. Several topics about this subject in this forum.. Using Domoticz for quite a few years but seem to be a starter for this technology. :?

Questions raised as:
Can I the old use MQTT client together with Autodiscover because a use a lot of ESP8266 devices, a OTGW, several PV-inverters which use MQTT to send data?
I disabled those hardware for now in Domoticz.

So: Finally I deleted the container with zwavejs2mqtt and did a fresh install, version 6.2.0. The only settings I changed were the serial port and host url..

I created a new hardware entry called MQTT Client Gateway in Domoticz, filled in address and port, emptied fields with domoticz/in and domoticz/out and filled in Auto Discovery Prefix zwave.

Code: Select all

No idea what how to get further. Maybe you can help me out?

The AutoDiscovery topic is HOMEASSISTANT I guess when looking at your image of MQTTExplorer. It is like I described a few posts down of my previous linked thread: viewtopic.php?p=284050#p284050 :)
zwave is the status/state topic of ZWVAEJS2MQTT, but Domoticz will subscribe to those automatically as they are defines in the HOMEASSISTANT CONFIG topic for each device.

Thnx for reply.
I would like to focus to Domoticz now. HA for later, if this in Domoticz works and I understand the principle.
Is it a problem if I disable MQTT discovery in zwavejs2mqtt..?? Hope not. So I did.

This are my settings now.

I restarted zwavejs2mqtt and deleted the zwave and Homeassistant entries in MQTT Explorer.
I stopped the container in Docker for HomeAssistant. No restart..
After a while this is my view:

Still no luck..

What to do about it?

I guess you are missing the point I am making as I am talking about Domoticz too! The default MQTT discovery topic NAME is homeassistant..... as that is where this whole discovery topic originates ! So what have you now set the discovery topic to in zwvaejs2mqtt?

To explain things a bit more, the autodiscovery that has just been implemented in domoticz originates from homeassistant. Both zwavejs2mqtt and zigbee2mqtt (and some others) have implemented homeassistant autodiscovery. This allows homeassistant to automatically create devices. Now, domoticz has also implemented this protocol so that domoticz can ALSO automatically create devices (and listen for updates or send commands to them).

In zwavejs2mqtt and zigbee12mqtt, you need to configure the topic for these systems send the autodiscovery messages to. The default is homeassistant but you can change it if you want. I use both zigbee and zwave so I have 2 separate MQTT devices in domoticz, one for zwave and one for zigbee. WHatever topic you define on one side (zwave or zigbee), you need to configure on the domoticz side as well.

In zwavejs2mqtt, the topic is called "prefix". in zigbee2mqtt, it's called "homeassistant discovery topic". For both, you need to set the switch ON for the discovery. In zwavejs, it's called "MQTT Discovery" which, in your case, is OFF so it won't send mesages.

The whole principle behind MQTT is that it's a message broker: you can send messages to it using a topic and you can subscirbe to messages using a topic. Multiple subscribers can subscibe to the same messages so both domoticz and homeassistant could use the same zwavejs2mqtt and zigbee2mqtt systems. If you have no homeassistant, that's fine. In that case, only domoticz listens to these "homeassistant"-autodiscovery messages.

Hope that's more clear now.

To be honest, sure. But as I mentioned before: i am a starter. Not familiar with the term Prefix in relation to Mqtt in Domoticz.
Seems to be trial & error.. :oops: Sorry.
I found the term Discovery prefix in the Home Assistant part (which was disabled) I had to leave that set default?
So I enabled the HomeAssistant-part in zwavejs2mqtt.
So some screens to answer your (further) question(s):

Ok, So the first screencapture shows the MQTT Topic prefix : homeassistant -> This is the MQTT topic used for the AD CONFIG package which ALSO need to be defined exactly the same in the DOMOTICZ MQTT Hardware definition in field "Auto Discovery Prefix"!
You have there the zwave prefix, which is used for the state update mqtt message from ZWAVEJS2MQTT.
SO simply make this one change and you will be in business! :)

H Jos,

We made it! :D Took a while, sorry for unconvience. But I made progress! Almost there! :o

Now I made a first step. Next is to get more devices. Quite a few passed by in the log, but only two items are discovered as (new) Devices in Setup. Even after refresh, restart Domoticz and restart zwavejs2mqtt. :?

All sensor devices will only actually be created when an status update comes in as that contains the value type and is needed for the apropriate sensor type to be created. Lights and switches will be immediately created.

In the mean time I changed the MQTT Home Assistant prefix in the OTGW so the last screenshot is not actual any more..

looks nice this as alternative for openzwave
Can someone here tell me:
Is it updating the powerlevels as they should be (if turned on a switch there is power an if off the power is gone -> in ozw this is not always showing correct state)
OZW has a controlpanel to click on check state , is this also available in this zwavejs?

All my power plugs, into even the cheap Chinese ones, all report fine for me (better than OZW).

Zwavejs2mqtt has a control panel to completely interview every node, reinterview, ... In my case, I could finally configure nodes in a way that I could never do using OZW.

But, YMMV wrt domoticz support since there is still the odd device issue here and there.

Hi, I installed the docker container, disabled my openzwave usb, reboot domoticz, reinsert my Zwave.me stick and can connect to the control panel but is says it can't open my device. Any ideas?

Are you running zigbee2mqtt in a docker? If so, did you map that device in the docker container?
