Just an heads up for the Beta users using MQTT Autodiscover: With the Setup button on the MQTT AD Hardware page you can see the configuration devices available for your environment.
For screenshots and more information see wiki:

Then your devices do not have these options.

No devices listed although added to Domoticz.
Raspberry Pi 4B, Domoticz 2023.1 Build 15234 BETA.

Please advice what is missing in the MQTT configuration.

Ran mqtt_ad_record.sh with output mqtt_ad_record_all.log:

This option configuration option is only for devices with supported MQTT messages (i read somewhere about mqtt AD number devices).
So only if your sensor or switch is supporting this. Check the change in the source code: https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/co ... 739e0c06af

Thanks for clarity on the component type number.

Performed a test with component type number:
MQTT-AD Configuration & State Message

Code: Select all

mosquitto_pub -r -h localhost -p 1883 -t "domoticz/number/sensorGardenH/config" -m '{"name": "Garden Hum 2", "device_class": "humidity", "state_topic": "domoticz/number/sensorGarden/state", "value_template": "{{value_json.humidity}}", "unit_of_measurement": "%", "unique_id": "SGH002"}'

mosquitto_pub -h 127.0.0.1 -p 1883 -t "domoticz/number/sensorGarden/state" -m '{"humidity":99}'
mosquitto_pub -h 127.0.0.1 -p 1883 -t "domoticz/number/sensorGarden/state" -m '{"humidity":91}'
mqtt_ad_record.sh
Ran mqtt_ad_record.sh with output mqtt_ad_record_all.log:

Code: Select all

2023-05-17T15:47:51+0200        1       domoticz/number/sensorGardenH/config    {"name": "Garden Hum 2", "device_class": "humidity", "state_topic": "domoticz/number/sensorGarden/state", "value_template": "{{value_json.humidity}}", "unit_of_measurement": "%", "unique_id": "SGH002"}
2023-05-17T15:49:17+0200        0       domoticz/number/sensorGarden/state      {"humidity":99}
2023-05-17T15:50:54+0200        0       domoticz/number/sensorGarden/state      {"humidity":91}
Status
The device SGH002 is listed in the MQTT-AD hardware controller devices list:
Device=SGH002, Name=Garden Hum 2, Value=91, Unit=%.

Observations
* The new device SGH002 is not listed in the Domoticz Devices List (so no Idx).
* If the device value changes, via mosquitto_pub, there is no MQTT message send via domoticz/out (checked the Domoticz log).
* If the device value is updated in the MQTT-AD hardware controller devices list by selecting the entry, enter new value, press Update = the value is not updated when pressing Refresh nor a Domoticz log entry.

It supposed to send an MQTT message back after clicking on UPDATE. But it could be because your configuration is not correct.
Check ZWave-JS or Zigbee2MQTT how they use and configure those number device to configure the sensor (time-outs, limits, levels etc)

I have a small additional question regarding this topic.
Is there a possibility to change the values inside this setup section with dzvents or something?

You can send MQTT payloads when you install mosquitto clients and use mosquitto_pub to the MQTT AD host (eg ZWAVE-JS-UI or Zigbee2MQTT)
To install mosquitto_pub use

Code: Select all

apt-get -y install mosquitto-clients
Docker:To install mosquitto_pub in the Domoticz Docker container use the customstart.sh script, see
https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Docker#cu ... _container
The example includes mosquitto-clients install
