config.json "monitoring": false issue

[Tempura-so]

I am trying out mqtt-energenie-ener314rt via the command line, for example :-

mosquitto_pub -h 192.xxx.xxx.xxx -p 1883 -q 2 -t eng/ook/504718/1/command -m "on".

I am only able to successfully transmit the on/off signal when the config.json is set to "monitoring": true

[Achronite]

mosquitto_pub -h 192.xxx.xxx.xxx -p 1883 -q 2 -t eng/ook/504718/1/command -m "on".

Should this be energenie/ook/504718/1/command?

I am only able to successfully transmit the on/off signal when the config.json is set to "monitoring": true

The monitoring: true is only used for receiving messages from the devices that send radio reponses (the energenie 'pink' and 'purple' devices). The blue/green plugs are 'receive only'; so the code transmits to them and then assumes the message has been received successfully by setting the state to 'ON'. So:

energenie/ook/504718/1/command/ON should return energenie/ook/504718/1/state/ON

Don't forget to put your device into pairing mode for the first transmission to teach the code.

Tip: modify the log_level in the config file to verbose if you are having difficulties, you should see it receiving MQTT commands.

Ah - I think you may have found a bug, in that discovery is still called if the discovery_prefix is there.

Remove the 'discovery_prefix' line in your config.json file as a workaround; i'll fix this now.

[Tempura-so]

Thank you, for your quick response!!

I have removed the 'discovery_prefix' line in the config.json, but unfortunately the same issue occurs

{ "topic_stub": "energenie/", "mqtt_broker": "mqtt://192.168.241.121:1883", "mqtt_options": { "clean": true }, "monitoring": false, "ook_xmits": 10, "fsk_xmits": 5, "log_level": "verbose" }

mosquitto_pub -h 192.xxx.xxx.xxx -p 1883 -q 2 -t energenie/ook/504718/1/command -m "on"

unfortunately the mosquitto_pub command only works when the config.json is set to "monitoring": true,

[Achronite]

It works with MQTT explorer. Can you post a log file for me?

[Tempura-so]

I'm on a raspberry pi 4 model B with 32bit Rasberry pi OS

terminal one

mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.241.121 -p 1883 -t 'energenie/'

terminal two node app.js

terminal three I enter the these two commands

mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.241.121 -p 1883 -q 2 -t energenie/ook/504718/1/command -m "ON"

mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.241.121 -p 1883 -q 2 -t energenie/ook/504718/1/command -m "OFF"

I have even tried the app.js in examples https://github.com/Achronite/energenie-ener314rt and it only works if you keep function startMonitoringThread()

hope this helps

[Achronite]

So are you saying it received the command ok but the plug didn't switch?

[Tempura-so]

yes, but the strange thing is that the ener314-rt still lights up red (LED2) and nothing happens until "monitoring": true

[Achronite]

Ok I'll look into it tomorrow.

Are you running v0.6?

[Tempura-so]

Yes v0.6

I've be using https://github.com/whaleygeek/pyenergenie on my raspberry pi 4 I'm transitioning to a raspberry pi 5 so I know that yours is moving into that direction.

[Achronite]

Above issue#43 has been fixed in develop branch of dependent module

[Tempura-so]

I have tested out energenie-ener314rt module via the develop branch and it is working nicely, thank you.

[Achronite]

Glad to see this has fixed it for you, although I see you have a Smart Plug+, so you would benefit from monitoring: true.

BTW: If you are looking to run this on a Pi 5 you will need to switch to the hardware SPI driver.

[Tempura-so]

BTW: If you are looking to run this on a Pi 5 you will need to switch to the hardware SPI driver.

Yes, that is definitely the plan to switch to the [hardware SPI driver]
