Need help with ESP8266 Node in MQTT Network

[siod]

Hi guys,

I would like to add an ESP8266 WIFI Node to my existing NRF24 MQTT Network. I´ve set up a Mosquitto broker on my LAN connected Raspberry pi with openhab2 running on it acting as the controller.
Unfortunately I have no idea where to start to include the new WIFI node to talk to my controller. Does someone know a tutorial could give me some code examples of where to start?

Thanks in advance!

well, this looks quiet interesting, but I think I´m quicker if I just use my actual Arduino IDE setup and some lines of code to achieve my goal because I feel more comfortable wit this IDE...

But I will have a look at ESPEasy anyway, thanks for that!!

edit: Do I have to upload the ESP8266 Gateway Code to every ESP8266 Node?

What I actually want to achieve is to build a IR Sender which sends IR commands to my TV or other IR devices that where sent by openhab.

Maybe your task is done by somebody:
IR_MQTT_OPENHAB

Or with ESPeasy look at this post:

Yes, you do have to. Just use seperate MQTT topics for every node/gateway.

I suppose you're looking for the MySensors / MQTT integration in general?

1. Is the ESP8266 flashed and working? Are you able to see the MQTT messages on the broker?

2. You may connect the Mosquitto with OpenHAB via the (generic) MQTT binding (search the forum about how this could be achieved) or via the MySensors binding for OpenHAB2.

Hi guys,

thanks to both of you! Thanks @TimO for the general information and thanks to @kimot for finding the exact solution for what I was looking for. Awesome!!

I will give it a try as soon as possible...
