Testing using V.0.0.11

I have fixed my error but this showed in the log before I did:

Code: Select all

   Trigger                         new trigger 3
   MQTT Error                      Error in plugin execution ExecuteAction:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "plugin.py", line 522, in publishDeviceAction

  File "/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7.3/Plugins/MQTT.indigoPlugin/Contents/Server Plugin/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 1171, in publish
ValueError: Publish topic cannot contain wildcards.


What was the error you fixed?

The published topic having a wildcard in it (as per the message in the log).

The published topic having a wildcard in it (as per the message in the log).

You mean an asterisk?

Or a MQTT wildcard ('+' or '#')?

A '#' in my case.

A '#' in my case.

I'm not sure what to do about that. The spec says anything is valid. But the Paho library I'm using rejected it, apparently. But it's not document what it'll reject. Or maybe Mosquitto rejected it.

Release 0.0.12 - https://github.com/FlyingDiver/Indigo-M ... tag/0.0.12

Minor changes

Warning: Plugin has been renamed. Disable and remove old plugin before installing this one. Nothing else will need to be changed.

I have updated to MQTT Connector (0.0.12) and MQTT (0.0.4) MQTT Shims. All updated fine.

I hoped the update might clear up an issue that I just noticed the end of this week. I do not see the state indicator change in the Indigo Home window for the device. I guess I never noticed it before now since that line in always highlighted when the On/Off is initiated.

Thanks again for all your time spent creating these plugins.

I think that's a bug. I'll look into it.

So I have been busy with other things lately and just noticed this new plugin, I am so glad someone picked up the MQTT torch!
Thanks for your work on this!

I have only been playing with it for about 30 minutes, but I did notice one issue. When setting up the "published devices" section in the broker set up, I checked the "exclude devices" box, added three or four devices to the list and saved. I then tested several of the devices that should have been publishing (not the ones I included in the list), and no MQTT messages. Went back into the broker set up and removed the check mark from the "exclude devices" box, and added a few devices to test. worked fine. Unless I missed something it seems like the exclude option isn't working as expected. Not really a big deal, I just added all the device except the few I didn't want, but the exclude option would make things easier as you add new devices in the future, no need to go add them to the publish list. I did a quick look on the forum and didn't see this addressed yet, sorry if it has already been brought up.

Umm. Oops. I designed the UI to work that way, but forgot to implement it.

I'll get that fixed asap.

Try this pre-release. https://github.com/FlyingDiver/Indigo-M ... /tag/0.1.1

Please do test the exclusion method. You can create a new/duplicate broker device to do it, if you want.

okay, that seemed to go the wrong way
After upgrading to the new version, I removed all the devices from the list, checked the box and added the few devices I didn't want to publish. No MQTT messages for anything. Then I tried unchecking the box again and moved a device I did want to send updates and that doesn't work now either. I did test the MQTT publish function in a trigger action and that worked fine, so MQTT is still working.

Did you restart the broker device after you made the changes? I think it should have done that automatically, but I'm not sure.

I reload the plugin, I also restarted indigo. I am seeing this error in the log now:

Code: Select all

   MQTT Connector Error            Error in plugin execution ServerReplacedElem:

  File "plugin.py", line 98, in deviceUpdated
NameError: global name 'device' is not defined

I downgraded back to the 0.1.0 version, the log errors went away.
