Summarize of the problem/feature request

I'd like to control a brushless fan driven by a ESC, providing PWM signal at 50Hz on pin 13. Successfully tested command PWM,13,value,0,50 with integer values from 11 to 30 (3D printed fan is super scary at high speed!!). Successfully tested with controller C005 - Home Assistant (openHAB) MQTT & P033 - Generic - Dummy Device. Successfully tested CMD and GPIO set of controller C014 (Homie). Failed test with C014 - Controller - Homie MQTT convention & P086 - Generic - Homie receiver.

Expected behavior

Controller algorithm should not discard properly formatted MQTT command.

Actual behavior

MQTT messages on topic homie/ESPeasySerever/fan/speed/set are always flagged as INVALID MSG and ignored.

Steps to reproduce

Use MQTT Explorer or OpenHAB to post on topic homie/ESPeasySerever/fan/speed/set the value 11
Observe the logged record C014 : MQTT received: /set: N: fan V: speed INVALID MSG
Gnash your teeth.

Can you upgrade to the 20221224 release, as just before that release a bug in the area of finding a task by name was fixed, that may be the cause of this issue.

TD-er commented 1 year ago

ESP_Easy_mega_20221224_collection_A_ESP8266_4M1M is listed in the description as tested.

fedemox commented 1 year ago

Failed also with C014 - Controller - Homie MQTT convention & P033 - Generic - Dummy Device. Same behaviour:

374010: C014 : MQTT received: /set: N: dummyfan V: dummyspeed INVALID MSG

tonhuisman commented 12 months ago

@fedemox Have you been able to configure your Homie receiver task so it will receive your values?

fedemox commented 11 months ago

No. Same behaviour on firmware ESP_Easy_mega_20230822_collection_A_ESP8266_4M1M.bin

tonhuisman commented 11 months ago

@fedemox I've done some work on MQTT controllers and the Homie receiver (with the intent to add Homie receiver support to all MQTT controllers), can you test the last successful GH Actions run for that PR?

fedemox commented 11 months ago

Half success! Now the controller acknowledges the received command, but its value isn't passed to the device. Every minute the rule (see above) is triggered, but parameters are 0/empty.
