Change color of RGB led strip over MQTT?

I was wondering how you change the color of RGB LED strips over MQTT with a raspberry pi gateway. Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome to the MySensors community @augusthalverson !

In general, you just set the color in your controller. It works the same way regardless of which type of gateway you are using, so there is nothing specific about mqtt.

You might be able to get some inspiration from https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/4934/wall-mounted-mood-light-v2

@epierre said: I had the contact with this seller, but an international money transfer was needed and is expensive... yeah, they also have a minimum order quantity and ship with DHL only, so you have to pay import taxes to EU so it only makes sense if you order a big quantitiy and then try to resell it somehow all in all a hobby that at least has some return on investment, compared to other ones i had :)) You're courageous th have gone on kickstarter, from memory seeedstudio nearly went down because of an error on a crowdfunding project and had to produce and ship (the more expensive par of it) a remlacement for the first batches... ahh .. i didnt know this about them... and in their scale - i can undertand it happened to me as well but in my scale it was rather a paid lesson :))))

@UglyKidJoe I have been using OpenHAB and MQTT for a number of years now. The reason for using MQTT and not just a serial connection from the MySensors GW is partly the flexibility as many have stated previously here. Easy to test, using e.g. the mqtt.fx tool. If you want to know what is going on you simply connect to the MQTT stream and "snoop" on the messages. Another reason is that I am running three geographical sites on one OH installation. OH is running on a NUC at my home. There is also an MQTT GW here. Two other My Sensors MQTT-GW are running remotely in two summer houses. The three GW connect over internet to a cloud-based MQTT broker and OH connects to the same broker. In that way I do not have to open any ports into my home network for access should I have had a local MQTT-broker at home.

@gohan thanks, however the issue i'm having is not in the HVAC implementation, but in the messaging..

By creating the file org.eclipse.smarthome.mqttbroker.cfg in the service folder (/usr/local/etc/openhab2/services in my case, chown to openhab), with the contents name=mosquitto host=192.168.1.69 secure=false port=1883 username= password= retain=true I was able to just create the MySensors MQTT gateway (using paperui) and it stayed online (no mqtt broker defined, but its addon is installed). I had the impressions that with the latest versions it should be possible to do everything in the PaperUI, and that the broker would use the mqtt2 addon (but in paper ui, service, config, mqtt tab, mqtt system broker connection, manage->plus button -> expert mode, I get to see the contents of the cfg file above) But unfortunately, it seems that the discovery services enters a endless loop (maybe I need to update my arduinos sketch to the latest mysensors code?) and I don't get any auto discovered things. If I trigger a new discovery it will stop the previous one and start again. Finally, I was able to manually create a thing, and link items on it. Eventually my battery level and humidity were displayed in the paper ui control page (after some weird delay, not updating once it shows in the log. the temperature didn't show up though). Not sure if my understanding is off (or paperui is limited in this sense) but in the "thing" creation page I only get to specify one child id. Then my multi sensors/value nodes would need to be define in multiple things? As I can't properly define channels for each child id, and I'm not sure what var1-5 are all about. I'll try defining things/channels/items directly in files in the following days, because so far I couldn't enjoy most of the benefits of this new version (auto discovery, logical grouping of physical device in "things", questionable "do-it-all in paper ui"), and I'm almost considering using mqtt1 binding in the new install

I really don't think this is a sitemap issue. I don't know the language well enough to speak of this but the error I am getting is [ERROR] [o.u.i.items.ItemUIRegistryImpl:411 ] - Cannot retrieve item 'itm_office_mqtt_motion_switch' for widget org.openhab.model.sitemap.Switch This makes me think it is an item issue not a sitemap issue. I captured this startup information from the log file: [DEBUG] [.b.mqtt.internal.MqttActivator:34 ] - MQTT binding has been started. [DEBUG] [i.internal.GenericItemProvider:334 ] - Start processing binding configuration of Item 'itm_office_mqtt_string (Type=NumberItem, State=Uninitialized)' with 'MqttGenericBindingProvider' reader. [DEBUG] [b.mqtt.internal.MqttItemConfig:71 ] - Loaded MQTT config for item 'itm_office_mqtt_string' : 1 subscribers, 0 publishers [DEBUG] [o.i.t.m.i.MqttBrokerConnection:476 ] - Starting message consumer for broker 'officepi' on topic 'office_string' [DEBUG] [m.internal.MqttEventBusBinding:61 ] - MQTT: Activating event bus binding. It shows the process for binding the itm_office_mqtt_string Item, but there is no mention of the binding of the itm_office_mqtt_motion_switch Item. Should there be? If so, anyone know why it might not be there? As I said above, when I comment out the itm_office_mqtt_string Item in the items file, OpenHab refreshes (see below) and allows the itm_office_mqtt_motion_switch Switch Item to function. [INFO ] [c.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl:97 ] - Refreshing model 'mini.items' [DEBUG] [i.internal.GenericItemProvider:154 ] - Processing binding configs for items from model 'mini.items' [DEBUG] [m.i.MqttGenericBindingProvider:73 ] - Removing message consumers for item itm_office_mqtt_string [DEBUG] [o.i.t.m.i.MqttBrokerConnection:505 ] - Unsubscribing message consumer for topic 'office_string' from broker 'officepi' [DEBUG] [m.i.MqttGenericBindingProvider:106 ] - Removing message publishers for item itm_office_mqtt_string [DEBUG] [b.mqtt.internal.MqttItemConfig:71 ] - Loaded MQTT config for item 'itm_office_mqtt_motion_switch' : 1 subscribers, 0 publishers [DEBUG] [o.i.t.m.i.MqttBrokerConnection:476 ] - Starting message consumer for broker 'officepi' on topic 'office_motion' [DEBUG] [i.internal.GenericItemProvider:133 ] - Read items from model 'mini.items' The sitemap works when the item can be retrieved, but I don't know why only one item is being retrieved, not both.
