Mqtt publish value of device

Hello, I am currently using the following script...
Code: Select all
return
{
on =
{
devices =
{
'Ute Entre',
'Ute Zigbee',
},
},
logging =
{
level = domoticz.LOG_ERROR, -- Change to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when script is OK
--level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- Change to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when script is OK
marker = 'get min temperature',
},
execute = function(dz)
local ute1 = dz.devices('Ute Entre').temperature
local ute2 = dz.devices('Ute Zigbee').temperature
local minCombined = dz.devices('UTE_KOMBINERAD')
minCombined.updateTemperature(dz.utils.round(math.min(ute1,ute2), 1))
end
}
It works very well but now I want to use this "UTE_KOMBINERAD" device in node red but for some reason, domoticz doesn't send its value to the domoticz/out mqtt topic like it does for every other device. Is there a way to make it so that this script also publishes the value of UTE_KOMBINERAD to an mqtt topic when it updates? It doesn't have to send it to domoticz/out, it could be any topic. If it matters I am running domoticz on a windows machine. Thanks!

Yes there is but the method to be used depends on your domoticz version. So what version do you use?

Sorry but that version is a bit too outdated for me. Chance that something I create for that version and especially on windows that does not work are too high and I cannot test it.
Could even be that it works without modification on a recent version.

Thank you. I am pretty certain that you helped me create the original script so I think you have helped me enough
. I have postponed updating for quite a while since I don't really want to break anything but I guess the time has come.
But just as a side question do you know why it dosen't publish the value of this device to the domoticz/out topic by default like it does with every other device I have?

The only reason I can think of is that it's a virtual device. Do you see anything unexpected in the domoticz log?
If I test this from my Windows system (V2021.1 build 13256) with MQTT hardware setting configured to my MQTT broker on a Linux system it just works fine

The settings page for mqtt appears to have changed a bit. This is how it looks for me
I am getting no weird message in the log either
I don't think it's due to it being a virtual sensor since I have other virtual sensors that send their value without problems. However this is the only virtual device I have that is controlled with a dzVents so maybe thats the issue?
I will try to update Domoticz tomorrow and see if that fixes it. Thanks for the help anyhow!
Edit: These are my settings
