MQTT: very newbie question

Configuration
1

Just starting playing around with MQTT.

in my configurantion.yaml I have:

mqtt:
  broker: 192.168.188.68
  username: pi
  password: pi
  discovery: true

I enabled this automation:

  • id: Snips_Test
    alias: Snips Test
    initial_state: ‘on’
    trigger:
    platform: mqtt
    topic: hermes/test/voce
    payload: ‘on’

    action:

    • service: snips.say
      data:
      text: “DONE!”

I publish on it with:

mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.188.68 -u pi -P pi -p 1883 -t "hermes/test/voce" -m "{'payload' : 'on'}"

I subscribing the topic:

mosquitto_sub -h localhost -u pi -P pi -p 1883 -t "hermes/test/voce"

I see the output but the automation is never trigged.

Where I am doing wrong ?

looks to me like you are publishing an object as the payload.

Try
mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.188.68 -u pi -P pi -p 1883 -t "hermes/test/voce" -m on

I always forgot the KISS method :rofl:
Thanks!
