Device type incorrect

I've bought
this device it works very good and also the auto discovery of this device works. The only thing is that it creates a device which contains the IP address. But probably due to a incorrect device type (custom) the IP number is displayed incorrect.

From the MQTT explorer this info is explored.
Code: Select all
{"name":"IP address","unique_id":"Heatbooster-Hal_ip","object_id":"Heatbooster-Hal_ip","icon":"mdi:map-marker","state_topic":"Heatbooster-Hal/ip","unit_of_measurement":"","device":{"name":"HeatBooster - Heatbooster-Hal","model":"HeatBooster","manufacturer":"SDR Engineering","identifiers":"Heatbooster-Hal","sw_version":"2.1.4","configuration_url":"http://192.168.178.157/"}}
The value seems also send correct.
My question is, how can I change the device type in Domoticz and if that's possible to what do I change it?

I suppose the best device would be a text device. But no idea what to do with MQTT Autodiscover to have it create a text device.
Did you write the MQTT interface yourself? Are you able to change the payload configuration?
You can check the MQTT AD source code to find out the correct message payload.

I did not write the MQTT interface myself. The autodiscovery is in most cases written for Home Assistant I think and that it sort of works in Domoticz is more a coincident than that it is verified. I don't have enough knowledge of this to be able to change it that this is recognised as a text device.

Hi,
You need
to get it as Text device by MQTT Auto Discovery

To change the unit you can press 'edit' and change it, but something else is wrong with the full IP address it seems.
Could you please post the complete config topic as well, as well as the contents of
Heatbooster-Hal/ip

I hope this is the information that is needed..
Code: Select all
homeassistant/sensor/Heatbooster-Hal/Heatbooster-Hal_ip/config
Code: Select all
{"name":"IP address","unique_id":"Heatbooster-Hal_ip","object_id":"Heatbooster-Hal_ip","icon":"mdi:map-marker","state_topic":"Heatbooster-Hal/ip","value_template":"{{ value | string }}","device":{"name":"HeatBooster - Heatbooster-Hal","model":"HeatBooster","manufacturer":"SDR Engineering","identifiers":"Heatbooster-Hal","sw_version":"v2.4.6","configuration_url":"http://192.168.178.11/"}}

Thank you, that's indeed the information I was looking for!
It is correct domoticz makes it a custom sensor.. it does not know how to interpretate the data as there is no 'unit_of_measurement' in the config object.
I assume this should be set to 'text' ...
Not sure if you are able to do this.
If not, best to ignore this device... you probably know it's IP address by now

I have another one coming from the
OTGW.
Code: Select all
MQTT2domoticz/sensor/OTGW-V2/CHPressure/config
Code: Select all
{
"avty_t": "OTGW/value/OTGW-V2",
"dev": {"identifiers": "OTGW-V2",
"manufacturer": "Schelte Bron",
"model": "otgw-nodo",
"name": "OpenTherm Gateway (OTGW)",
"sw_version": "0.10.2+50c3ed2 (14-03-2023)"},
"uniq_id": "OTGW-V2-CHPressure",
"name": "OTGW_Water_pressure_in_CH_circuit",
"stat_t": "OTGW/value/OTGW-V2/CHPressure",
"unit_of_measurement": "bar",
"value_template": "{{ value }}",
"state_class" : "measurement"
}
The unit_of_measurement is set but it shows up as custom device with bar on the axis label (see below) instead of pressure device.

Is this a issue on the Domoticz side or is there something missing on the OTGW side? And how can I check this, because on this OTGW there are more devices incorrect?
Besides the above, as a small note; the unit of the pressure device in Domoticz is on "Bar" the
SI unit is "bar".
