MQTT Broker implementation

[alexpelli 3]

I'm a bit confused... there is no way to communicate to Node-red from HC2 via mqtt broker or other solution?

 

I had a crazy idea, bit expensive but it works.. let me try to explain:

- add a fibaro dimmer

- use node red contrib fibaro hc2 - device node and inject querystate every 5/10 seconds for instance

- read the dimmer value (from 0 to 99)

- add a swich node which switch the corresponding output according to dimmer value

- in this case each dimmer value can be used as a trigger

- in HC2 add scene which set dimmer value to what required

I know.. it's quit crazy (50 euros for a dimmer.. waste).. but it works

You can connect HC2 to Node-RED and Node-RED to MQTT  and the reverse.   

You can not connect HC2 directly to MQTT though which was @10der 's point.

 

So you can use it as you wish

thanks to 10der@ for the contrib.. 

the flow is just as example (very quick made)... my flows respect the total geometry

@10der when I use module for HC2 I receive randomly this error:

 

26.11.2019, 19:47:50node: HC2 msg : error
"SyntaxError: Unexpected token | in JSON at position 0"

 

I query data via API for another system and I can't find any problems. Can You help me?

[drboss 107]

ok, after restart nodered (clear buffer I things) work fine without errors like this

btw Error are disabled if all debug are set to disabled or removed , maybe this stay in buffer or cache.

 

[drboss 107]

after deploy problem return (all debug are checkout) and error are displayed. But after turn on / turn off debug connected to HC server node error message stoped.

[drboss 107]

I'm sure , I do this on clear new flow. I recreate today morning all from beginning for test like in this schema with new connection to HC2.  The error message displayed if debug is off, when I turn it on debug display normal data from HC2 too. Ex:

I checked message before and after error message, any errors in data.

I haven't idea too

 

[drboss 107]

I do clear installation on other R.Pi and the error displayed too with any flow (after creation of connection to HC2)

Two error is show one after one:
