Python Plugin: MqttMapper

[peterchef]

Sadly I am a neanderthal that runs windows everywhere.

The mqtt broker machine is running windows 11 pro 23h2 with eclipse mosquitto 2.0.19.
The client machine is Windows 10 22H2 running -- domoticz 2024.7 build 16268 -- mqttmapper 0.48 -- python 3.11.9 32bit.

I think the problem is likely to be related to the plugin framework build for windows.

IMHO, Windows may eventually be good for GUI (even if you now have the same/better GUI with Linux), but I should recognize that some softs only exists in Windows version. However, when speaking about servers and IOT, this is really not a good idea at all.

Buying a RPi 4 will cost you 50/60€, and make a better job for Domoticz. System update is now automatic (and patches well tested Don't known when power consumption difference will pay the RPi, but it may be interesting to compute it.

After 45yrs with computers - unlikely to change horses. Guess I will find another solution.

I have a bit more with computers (since 1976, when PC didn't exist yet), leaning Linux at 50+ was not a big deal ...

In addition if you connect a screen to your RPi, you won't see a big difference with Windows...

I ḿ still struggling with on issue I cannot find about type, subtype

Code: Select all

    "SmartEVSE evtotalenergy charged": {
        "topic": "SmartEVSE-5572/EVTotalEnergyCharged",
        "type": "243", "subtype": "29", "switchtype": "0",
        "mapping": {"item": "", "multiplier": 0.001}

When I am using type 248 and subtype 1 the outcome is in Watts
When I am using type 243 and subtype 29 the outcome is in instant+counter in kWh
I only need kWh, what kind of type and subtype do I need?

That would be Counter type 113 and select the right switchtype
The device types are listed here: https://wiki.domoticz.com/Developing_a_ ... vice_Types

I will try that and let you know.

Hello Walter,

Counter is OK now. Thanks.

I can't seem to get this right ..........

I changed my MQTT file:

My own rework of the outside temperature:

{
"T_Outside": {
"topic": "ebusd/Broadcast/Outsidetemp",
"type": "80", "subtype": "5", "switchtype": "0",
"mapping": {"iten":{"item": ""}, "multiplier": 1}
},

"T_Living": {
"topic": "ebusd/ctlv2/Z1RoomTemp",
"type": "80", "subtype": "5", "switchtype": "0",
"mapping": {"item": "", "multiplier": 1}
},

"MQTTrunning": {
"topic": "ebusd/global/running",
"type": "244", "subtype": "73", "switchtype": "0",
"mapping": {"item": "", "default": "0"}
},
"MQTTsignal": {
"topic": "ebusd/global/signal",
"type": "244", "subtype": "73", "switchtype": "0",
"mapping": {"item": "", "default": "0"}
}
}

[waltervl]

topic "ebusd/Broadcast/Outsidetemp" has message
{"value":{"value": 6.562"}}

then the mapping should be
"mapping": {"item": "value/value"}

Thanks that was it!!

I was a bit confused as MQTT made two new files, but I deleted the old ones.
