[Bug] MQTT command "return_home" does not work

[Luncher91]

Describe the bug

I got Version 0.9.2 and got MQTT working but the return_home command does not trigger the vacuum. Start, Pause and Stop are working just fine.

How to Reproduce

send "return_home" to the command topic

Expected behavior

The vaccum starts to go to the dock.

Screenshots

That's because command is "return_to_base".

[rand256]

Probably it should understand both versions though.

[Luncher91]

Thank you, that worked :-) Now I only need to figure out how to send commands which are not part of the "supported_features" in Openhab.

Can you fix the supported_features list?

"return_home" does not work for me.

[rand256]

That was once "fixed" but that broke something in other automation systems, so it was reverted. I'm not using any HA-like system myself so... As I said, looks it would be simpler to just add return_home as an alias to return_to_base. Or maybe someone confident with different automations would suggest a better approach.

[Luncher91]

Okay, thank you very much. I did not found that information :-)
