Hi,
I am right in the middle of switching from an 8 year working ioBroker setup to Home Assistant.
Everything is working fine but I have a problem now.
the transition is taking place bit by bit.
so far I can control all shellys and my PV system.
Everything while ioBroker is still doing its job.
However in order to do the next steps I need to communicate between the systems.
I have a working Zigbee Network that needs to stay on the ioBroker side until everything is working because I control my floor heating system with a giant script in ioBroker.
I managed to publish the needed objects from ioBroker to Home Assistant but I am not able to control anything. from HA and send it to ioBroker.
The best example is
I have 6 temp sensors in zigbee and 6 switches that are controlling the valves.
I can read the temperatures and see the switch states via MQTT in ha but cannot control the switches.
this is my configuration.yaml
mqtt:
sensor:
- name: "ioBroker temp livingroom"
state_topic: "ioBroker/temp_livingroom"
switch:
- name: "ioBroker valve livingroom"
state_topic: "ioBroker/valve_livingroom"
command_topic: "ioBroker/valve_livingroom"
payload_on: "true"
payload_off: "false"
qos: 0
retain: true
I set up a mqqtclient on the iobroker side, an its working so far.
however iobroker does not listen to anything I send it.
what can I doo to tackle the problem. Do you need further information?
