I have tested a new thing today.
Bought a bunch of Deltaco SH-P01 Tuya compliant switches.
Reflashed them with Tasmota firmware.
They are running fine from NetHomeServer as "MqttLamp" via a Mosquitto broker.
Defined as "MqttLamp" they can be turned "on" and "off".

PROBLEM: When I include the "MqttLamp" in a "LampGroup" the "LampGroup" can't control the lamp.
What to do?

Below is the start log and some items from the default.xml file.

Code: Select all

20.04.30 21:13:22 HomeServer Activated 65 of 65 Items

Another find, when testing via port 8005, call,MQTT_Plug1,Toggle,call,MQTT_Plug1,On and call,MQTT_Plug1,Off works.
Calling the LampGroup in the same way shows no action.

Further random testing gives useful results, control type "Scene" can control up to six MQTT lamps.
One Scene for "On" and one Scene for "Off" is needed, These can be called from e.g. a "Timer".

Sorry for very slow response. I have fixed the problem in the MQTTLamp. The on/off commands were defined with capital letters, which messed up things for the LampGroup. The corrected version is uploaded in the nightly build.
