Hi @Electr1fying, I'll consider adding autodiscover in a future version. v1.0 will be released without it, as I don't have time for a testing cycle right now. As for JSON formatting, I really have no way of testing it, as I use HA myself (and focus on supporting HA), so you will have to mess with that yourself when source is released.
Hi kp-bit!
Thanks. Will take a look at the source once released (hopefully soon).
In which format will you release the source? .ino for Arduino IDE?
Yes, for the time being it will be .ino + libaries...
Super. Thanks alot for your work and effort!
Source code has now been published, I've added autodiscover to the planned work for next version
Hi!
Might it be possible to format xblinds MQTT Messages into JSON, and/or implement Home Assistant Auto-Discovery?
I'm using Domoticz myself, but a recent Domoticz release has support For HASS Auto-Discovery, which should help getting it into Domoticz as well i reckon.
I think part of the problem is; i've sniffed xblinds's MQTT traffic and it does not seem to be JSON formatted. This is the MQTT formatting Domoticz supports and expects, but i reckon HASS Auto-Discovery should help as well with that.
Further i read that it might be possible to "convert" xblind's MQTT messages to a JSON format with the help of Node-Red, but i'm not to handy with it and i rather don't want to use tricks into getting it to work via some sort of translation layer.
Thanks in advance!
