MQTT Request from a node



  • It would be nice if a node, could make a request for MQTT data..

    ie: My node subscribe to weather/rain from my weather station, and then if its raining, the controller could change it action...

    thanks...

    On my pi2 I have installed node-red and do all the 'wiring' of messages between different nodes there. Maybe this could be a solution for you too.



  • That interesting way of doing things...

    But I believe that having native support for MQTT subscription by a node would be the ideal way to go... No wiring, no special code, just make a request, and it sent to you via the gateway. You only need to know is name string...

    For me it is important not to wire nodes directly, because I want to be able to change any node without having to make firmware changes to others. I like this abstraction level, e.g. I can change my netatmo devices to mysensor devices without changing anything in openhab. Openhab doesn't know,what type of device is behind an item.

    Would you like to share the details of your setup and the flow? It would really be interesting to explore...

    It is a prototype and not finished yet.

    I use a namespace for the different technologies for the MQTT Topic:
    MyMQTT for MySensors
    Netatmo for netatmo devices
    homegear for Homematic
    nodered for messages generated fom node-red
    openHAB for the openHAB eventbus

    Most of the wiring is defined in a hashtable. As this is more of a hack, I want to clean it up before I publish it.

    Here an example for an RGB Led (MySensors) wired to openhab colorpicker and a homematic wall switch. Note: the wiring is bidirectional, I see the RGB Color in openHAB of the MySensors LED independent of the method I used to set it and openHAB doesn't know anything about Homematic or MySensors. I can evan add another UI (openHAB 2?) and other switches (MySensors Motion or Lux nodes) and everything would be in sync.

    Seems to be some simple syntax error here. Is there a way to find out these kind of errors in some editor or visual tools? NodeRED import from clipboard doesnt even let it go any further.
