You said:

Nope. your example didn't work, but i figured it out from your example and from my earlier inject node. This is working:

I was not sure about the example in the Smartthings documentation.
I already said:

I found the msg.topic quite confusing.
So, as I'm not sure either msg.topic should be set to "switch" or msg.payload.topic should be set to "switch" or or both.
I configured them both, just to be sure.

But perfect, that it is working now.

I have one small remark to your code.
The first line of your code shows:

var msg = {

and if you click in the function node you will see a small yellow triangle with the text: 'msg' is already defined.
It is not necessary to declare the variable msg, as this is already done (by default).

So the contents of the function node should become:

Code: Select all

msg = {
    topic: "switch",
    payload: {
        value: msg.payload.nvalue
    }
}
return msg;

It is working now I can switch smartthings switch from domoticz Now just need to make it other way around

Can you operate the lamp, connected to the Smartthings node, and see if something is shown in the last "Debug"node.

Or if this is not possible can you test the following flow:

Code: Select all

[{"id":"7c7791de.29521","type":"inject","z":"4e92e308.9bb32c","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload"},{"p":"topic","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","payload":"","payloadType":"date","x":180,"y":280,"wires":[["b994970e.927188"]]},{"id":"b6f73d8f.ef4cc8","type":"smartthings-node-onoff","z":"4e92e308.9bb32c","conf":"666c7bf2.c25414","name":"Kitchen Lights","device":"e162c5c6-80d2-46e1-aaef-741a39f934fe","x":640,"y":280,"wires":[["635ae9af.854d9"]]},{"id":"b994970e.927188","type":"function","z":"4e92e308.9bb32c","name":"Function Kitchen Light","func":"msg = {\n    topic: \"update\",\n}\nreturn msg;","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"initialize":"","finalize":"","x":400,"y":280,"wires":[["b6f73d8f.ef4cc8"]]},{"id":"635ae9af.854d9","type":"debug","z":"4e92e308.9bb32c","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"payload","targetType":"msg","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":850,"y":280,"wires":[]},{"id":"666c7bf2.c25414","type":"smartthings-config","name":"ST","token":"xxx"}]

I expect you will see, something like:

If this is the case, can you test the following flow:

Connect the output of the Smartthings node to the input of the "Function" node.
And configure the MQTT output node, according to your configuration.

Code: Select all

[{"id":"191ec999.485656","type":"function","z":"4e92e308.9bb32c","name":"","func":"if (msg.payload.value === 1 )\n{\nmsg.payload = { \"command\": \"switchlight\", \"idx\": 11, \"switchcmd\": \"On\" };\n}\nelse if ( msg.payload.value === 0 )\n{\nmsg.payload = { \"command\": \"switchlight\", \"idx\": 11, \"switchcmd\": \"Off\" };\n}\nreturn msg;","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"initialize":"","finalize":"","x":1040,"y":100,"wires":[["d805ccf1.c0753"]]},{"id":"d805ccf1.c0753","type":"mqtt out","z":"4e92e308.9bb32c","name":"","topic":"domoticz/in","qos":"1","retain":"false","broker":"f9f13036.e28b58","x":1230,"y":100,"wires":[]},{"id":"f9f13036.e28b58","type":"mqtt-broker","name":"localhost","broker":"127.0.0.1","port":"1883","clientid":"","usetls":false,"compatmode":true,"keepalive":"60","cleansession":true,"birthTopic":"","birthQos":"0","birthRetain":"false","birthPayload":"","closeTopic":"","closeQos":"0","closePayload":"","willTopic":"","willQos":"0","willPayload":""}]

Awaiting your response,

Operating switch manually, doesnt bring anything to the debug window

your flow gives this

Heh, i rebooted nodered machine and it started working, dunno what was wrong, but now when i turn lights on from the actual switch i do get

Strange, normally it's not necessary to reboot the Node Red hardware in case of a change in the flow.

However, I saw that you changed the picture.
The previous picture showed 4 times the same message, this one shows only 2 messages.

Does this mean that you now receive only 2 messages?

Could have multiple reasons.

1. Do you have MQTT loop activated?
("Prevent loop" setting in MQTT hardware)

2. Which Domoticz version are you running?
Stable version? Or latest beta?

Can you now test this flow:

Code: Select all

i don't know how to parse input

Also, smartthings palette separates temp&humidity sensor in to two different nodes, temp and humidity. How do i get these both infused together for one temp&humidity dummy in domoticz ?

How do i get these both infused together for one temp&humidity dummy in domoticz?

// This function sorts the comfort level for Domoticz based on the humidity.

function comfortlevel(hum) {
    
switch (true) {
    case hum > 70: { hum_stat = 3 } break;
    case hum < 30: { hum_stat = 2 } break;
    case hum >= 30 && hum <= 45: { hum_stat = 0 } break;
    case hum > 45 && hum <= 70: { hum_stat = 1 } break;
    default: { hum_stat = 0 } break;
}
return hum_stat;
}

msg.payload = {"command":"udevice", "idx":1234, "svalue":msg.payload.temperature.value + ";" + msg.payload.humidity.value + ";" + comfortlevel(msg.payload.humidity.value)};
return msg;

Im a bit puzzled here, why isnt this changing TEMP only dummy in domoticz : ?

msg.payload = {"command":"udevice", "idx":26, "nvalue":0, "svalue":msg.payload.value};
return msg;

msg.payload = {"command":"udevice", "idx":26, "nvalue":0, "svalue":msg.payload.value.toString()};
return msg;

I have no idea, what you mean with

What I see in your node is the following:

Code: Select all

msg.payload = {"command":"udevice", "idx":26, "nvalue":0, "svalue":msg.payload.value};
return msg;

A few things are important.

1. Where does the data come from.
In my example it came from: msg.payload.temperature.value but in your example it comes from msg.payload.value.
So this is another source.

2. Another thing is also important. svalue requires a string.
Check always that you send a string (between " "). If it is a number (value in blue) add at the end of each value .toString().

3. In your log file, the incoming data message looks not okay. I see at the end 23.3 where I should expect "23.3".

4. It is important that you send the data according to what the configured virtual sensor expects.
In my example the Temperature/Humidity sensor expects 3 parameters. In that case you should send 3 parameters.
If one parameter is not available, send a "0", but send always the number of parameters, as required by the sensor.

I do not know to which sensor you want to send this data, but let's assume it is the temperature sensor.
This sensor expects only the temperature value as a string (1 parameter).

So test the following in the function node:

Code: Select all

msg.payload = {"command":"udevice", "idx":26, "nvalue":0, "svalue":msg.payload.value.toString()};
return msg;

See picture below:


Screenshot_temp5.png

Do you see the difference regarding the svalue?
The upper one is a number and the lower one a string.
The lower works in Domoticz, the upper one not.
