How to req actuator status?

[joaoabs]

Hi,

I currently have an actuator node working fine with MySensors MQTT Gateway. It is based on the Mysensors Example "SecureActuator".
I'm able to turn on/off a LED via the commands:

mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.2.180 -p 1883 -u mysensorsuser -P mysensorspassword -t mysensors-in/33/2/1/1/36 -m "1"
mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.2.180 -p 1883 -u mysensorsuser -P mysensorspassword -t mysensors-in/33/2/1/1/36 -m "0"

(pretty cool, also integrated with Google Home via NodeRed/NORA - I can say "Hey Google, turn on switch" and it turns on :blush: )

Anyway, now, I want to request the status of the actuator. According to the Serial API documentation, the request string/topic should be something like 33/2/2/1/36/? where:

33 - Node ID
2 - Child ID
2 - Req command
1 - Ack required
36 - V_LOCK_STATUS
? - Not sure what payload to specify in a REQ message. Putting it blank.

This translates to the following MQTT command:

mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.2.180 -p 1883 -u mysensorsuser -P mysensorspassword -t mysensors-in/33/2/2/1/36 -m "0"

And I'm listening for the answer on mysensors-out/33/2/#:

mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.2.180 -p 1883 -u mysensorsuser -P mysensorspassword -t mysensors-out/33/2/# -m ""

I can see the node successfully receives the request and answers it, but it seems the payload goes empty:

1551798 TSF:MSG:READ,0-0-33,s=2,c=3,t=16,pt=0,l=0,sg=1:
1551804 SGN:SKP:MSG CMD=3,TYPE=16

1552347 SGN:VER:OK
1552349 TSF:MSG:ECHO REQ

1552588 TSF:MSG:SEND,33-33-0-0,s=2,c=2,t=36,pt=0,l=0,sg=0,ft=0,st=OK:

So, any idea what am I missing here?

Cheers
