MQTT toggle option for switchcmd

[wildfire]

HI,
i have bin searching all night for a solution to toggle a switch like the http version of this:

Code: Select all

/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=1&switchcmd=Toggle

to mqtt like this

Code: Select all

{"command": "switchlight", "idx": 1, "switchcmd": "Toggle"}

but this is not working

Code: Select all

{"command": "switchlight", "idx": 1, "switchcmd": "On"}

works but i need to be able to toggle.

can anyone help out with this?
thanks

Works for me on V3.6862 and V3.6874 using: {"command": "switchlight", "idx": 85, "switchcmd": "Toggle"}
Please update to latest Beta first as the forum rules state

Edit: This was implemented in build d20eb34167bef6a1cc7dcd6da57e0742ec8fb98a

i had my input channel mixed up.

That is the beauty of an opensource project, you can add it to the Wiki yourself. You can login with your domoticz user credentials.

Hi, when the switchcmd: "toggle" is used for my light bulb it does not change te stat in Domoticz.
The light does perform the command but when I toggle a light that was on to off, the light goes off but the icon stays on and no log entry was placed in the device.

Is that normal behavior?
Can I set the correct status after the toggle was performed?

If I try this with the http api call eg

Code: Select all

http://192.1xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=93&switchcmd=Toggle

then my lamp and my device widget switches on/off as expected.

You have to use "Toggle" not "toggle" the command is case sensitive.
Can you try this api call on your device and see if the device widget is toggling along?
If it still fails can you post the complete MQTT payload you are sending?

When I use the URL the lamp toggles correctly, but when I Toggle it via a Sonoff RM433 remote, it does not.
Will check all my settings again, thx for your help
