Unable to Start/Stop HBOT through RPC

[HESSEBO]

Environment: Linux Docker

I am trying start start/stop HBOT through Nodred Flows through MQTT inject node, after connecting both HBOT and nodred to the same topic. I can see HBOT on the logs saying that: ''rpc - could not unpack request message 'data'

My guess that probably my triggering command start/stop is recognized by hbot instance, may be I didn't inject the right command to trigger. I tried the following command on the inject node:

{ "name":"start", "command":"start" } start, stop etc... All didn't work

Hi 😁 I was doing the same from a node.js application and I had to go through the source code of commlib and the MQTT bridge itself to get it, but this is the format you're supposed to use when sending messages:

const createStartCommand = () => JSON.stringify(({
  header: {
    reply_to: RESPONSE_TOPIC,
    timestamp: Date.now(),
  },
  data: {}
}));

Where RESPONSE_TOPIC is a string constant specifying the topic on which you'd like to get the response sent to. Hope this is helpful, let me know how it goes 😁
