- Status updates from the door is being published from the Ratgdo to the MQTT server, and the Ratgdo plugin is receiving those, and showing the right state in Indigo.
I'm kind of stuck. Any thoughts on what could be wrong?
So MQTT messages from the ratgdo are going to the plugin and those updates work. But MQTT messages from the plugin to the ragdo do not? And MQTT Explorer is seeing both sets?
That's really strange. I'm assuming you're running MQTT Explorer on the Indigo server system. Try running on some other system just to make sure there's no firewall issue.
I'm running my MQTT Server outside of my Indigo machine. It's on my HA install.
I'm guessing this will be a firewall issue. I do have the ratgdo on a separate VLAN, but again it was previously working and I have the rules in place to enable communication. I'll likely put it on the same network to diagnose as a next step.
Two questions to help me diagnose further:
1. How can I be sure that my ratgdo can, in fact, control my garage door? Do you know of a way to test manually? My hard wired door button works, which is wired through the ratgdo, so I doubt this is an issue, but would like to be sure.
2. I'm a novice at MQTT. How does a command get from MQTT to the Ratgdo? Is the Ratgdo polling MQTT? Does something get "pushed" to my ratdgo?
