Resident script:294: attempt to index a nil value

[OrigSorceror]

using the current MQTT send receive script but getting this error in my SHAC5500 error logs

Resident script:294: attempt to index a nil value stack traceback: Resident script:294: in function [C]: in function 'loop'

MQTT successfully connects to broker. but no devices are picked up in HAOS. 5500SHAC Firmware Version 1.6.0 5500SHAC HW version 1.0

Change line 294 and restart.

Old:

      if parts[3]:contains('cbus_mqtt_') then

New:

      if parts[3] ~= nil and parts[3]:contains('cbus_mqtt_') then

What I think is going on here is that you likely have a HA discovery topic (something like homeassistant/sensor) that does not contain any sub-topics. This can be verified in MQTT Explorer, but it makes sense.

Ok that fixed the error, but still nothing being reported in HAOSNo new devices found and no nee entries in Mosquito. Sent from my iPhoneOn 14 Aug 2024, at 10:36 AM, Steve Saunders @.***> wrote: Change line 294 and restart. Old: if parts[3]:contains('cbusmqtt') then

Oh come on, @OrigSorceror. You are going to need to provide a HEAP more information, otherwise I am just guessing and probably can't help. One line descriptions from an iPhone saying, "it works but it don't work" give me nothing.

That this error even occurred hints at something not being right with the HA discovery topics.

• What is in the SHAC log? If nothing of import then in the code change local logging = false to true and restart
• Is there anything in the SHAC error log?
• Examples of your keywords configured for SHAC objects
• Screen shots of what the homeassistant/ topics look like in MQTT Explorer

[OrigSorceror]

ok made code change to turn on logging. nothing in error logs. Log show ..

MQTT Explorer shows

[OrigSorceror]

I may not have Mosquitto set up correctly in HAOS. AS there is no HomeAssistant section in the explorer like yours. I also operate the CBUS network on a different Physical network with only a router and Rpi bridging the 2 networks.. currently whilst building this HAOS implementation, i have allowed all traffic between all IPs on both Networks so i doubt it is a network issue..

I halso have CBUS up and running via Homebridge tied in to Apple at the moment whilst i play with the HAOS (have not enable apple integration on HA as yet)

Fairly new to HA, so still getting toes wet on it..

[autoSteve]

Looks like HomeAssistant is not configured for MQTT.

There are no discovery topics at all.

Did you miss this in configuration.yaml?

mqtt:

[OrigSorceror]

nope that is in there just made some changes to the config.yaml and restarting HAOS to apply..

[autoSteve]

What keywords are added to the SHAC objects? Example:

MQTT, light, sa=Family Room, pn=Family Room Lights, 

[OrigSorceror]

Bingo!!! missing keywords. LOL must have glossed over that section of the setup instructions Sorry little dyslexic :(

[OrigSorceror]

just added keywords to 1 of the lights and it is discovered. :) All good to close issue

[autoSteve]

Cheers.
