MQTT messages published without full topic

[Goose66]

MQTT messages are being published without considering the configured "Full Topic". For example, in the R24D driver, in parse_config() method, the topic for the CONFIG messages is built like this:

    # print("Parsed message:", result)
    # check if word exists in buffer then update the value if needed, won't publish anything if the value doesn't change
    if self.cfg_buffer.find(cw) != nil 
      if self.cfg_buffer[cw].find(field)
        self.cfg_buffer[cw].setitem(field,data)
        # print(f"Config Buffer update {field} with {data}")  
        var pubtopic = "stat/" + topic + "/CONFIG"
        var mp = f"{{\"{self.sensorname}\":{json.dump(result)}}}"
        mqtt.publish(pubtopic, mp, false)
      end
    else
      self.publish2log(f"{field}: {data}", 2)
    end

resulting in messages published to "stat/\<device ID>/CONFIG". But if the full topic is configured to, e.g., "tasmota/%prefix%/%topic%", then any listeners for "tasmota/stat/\<device ID>/CONFIG" messages will not receive the messages.

yes, that's why you need to change the relevant lines for your setup

Ok. In case it's helpful for future users, here are the changes we made to the r24d.be file:

1. After var topic = tasmota.cmd('Status ', true)['Status']['Topic'] we added the following line: var fulltopic = tasmota.cmd('FullTopic ', true)['FullTopic']
2. We changed the three instances of var pubtopic = to build from the fulltopic. E.g., we changed: var pubtopic = "stat/" + topic + "/CONFIG" to: var pubtopic = string.replace(string.replace(fulltopic, "%topic%", topic), "%prefix%", "stat") + "CONFIG"
