So I am setting my first steps in MQTT using pilight version v8.1.5-nightly-45c64b39 on Rpi and testing it with MQTT.fx on Windows. Subscribing in MQTT.fx to pilight topics is working fine. But when I try to change the state of a switch by publishing a command the pilight.log shows:

Code:

ERROR: elro_400_switch: insufficient number of arguments

config.json (shortened version):

Code:

{
       "devices":
               "keuken": {
                       "protocol": [ "elro_400_switch" ],
                       "id": [{
                               "systemcode": 9,
                               "unitcode": 29
                       }],

               }
       },
       "settings": {
               "log-level": 6,
               "pid-file": "/var/run/pilight.pid",
               "log-file": "/var/log/pilight.log",
               "standalone": 1,
               "webserver-enable": 1,
               "webserver-root": "/usr/local/share/pilight/webgui",
               "webserver-http-port": 5001,
               "webserver-https-port": 5002,
               "webserver-cache": 1,
               "whitelist": "",
               "gpio-platform": "raspberrypi1b2",
               "mqtt-port": 1883,
               "mqtt-enable": 1
       },
       "hardware": {
               "433gpio": {
                       "sender": 0,
                       "receiver": 1
               }
       },
       "registry": {
               "webserver": {
                       "ssl": {
                               "certificate": {
                                       "location": "/etc/pilight/pilight.pem"
                               }
                       }
               },
               "pilight": {
                       "version": {
                               "current": "8.1.5"
                       }
               },
               "hardware": {
                       "RF433": {
                               "mingaplen": 4420,
                               "maxgaplen": 72900,
                               "minrawlen": 26,
                               "maxrawlen": 400
                       }
               }
       }
}

So I use MQTT.fx to connect, subscribe and publish.
Subscribe to :

Code:

pilight/device/keuken/+

 gives a timestamp and a state after I switched it; perfect

Publish:

Code:

pilight/device/keuken/state on

gives no action and the pilight.log shows:

Code:

[Aug 26 13:45:25:114372] ERROR: elro_400_switch: insufficient number of arguments

What am I doing wrong here?

Probably nothing except that MQTT is under heavy debugging. I will look into it later.

Ah ok. Well if I can be of any help testing, let me know. Is there a way of monitoring what the pilight MQTT server actually receives?

Can you check if the latest staging improves anything?

I did reinstall  Raspbian from scratch after a problem. I installed the new nightly and after testing with subribe and publish this is the log:

Code:

subscribing still works; publishing still does not.
Sorry so no improvement
