You have defined the payloads for the command topic but not the state topic. See this option and the ones below it: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/cover.mqtt/#state_closed

Did you misspell “stopped”?

enricota66 · May 8, 2021, 8:30am

Thanks for your reply…I need some glasses… I have corrected “stopped”
unfortunately the warning come again.

It looks like the topic you are using for state messages is also receiving this message from your device:

{“Time”:“2021-05-08T10:21:27”,“Uptime”:“5T23:54:08”,“UptimeSec”:518048,“Heap”:25,“SleepMode”:“Dynamic”,“Sleep”:50,“LoadAvg”:19,“MqttCount”:19,“POWER1”:“ON”,“POWER2”:“OFF”,“Wifi”:{“AP”:1,“SSId”:“Enlafra”,“BSSId”:“38:10:D5:BB:46:7E”,“Channel”:11,“RSSI”:50,“Signal”:-75,“LinkCount”:14,“Downtime”:“0T00:00:35”}}

If your cover is working as expected (start/stop/open/close/…ect) you have three choices,

ignore the warning.
develop templates to ignore that particular message.
pick a better state topic.

Hi, thanks for suggestion, but probably I’m loosing somethings, I’ve changed my config, here the new one:

  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Tapparella Cucina"
    unique_id: tapparella_cucina
    state_topic: "shellies/shellyswitch25-C4B6A1/roller/0"
    command_topic: "shellies/shellyswitch25-C4B6A1/roller/0/command"
    position_topic: "shellies/shellyswitch25-C4B6A1/roller/0/pos"
    set_position_topic: "shellies/shellyswitch25-C4B6A1/roller/0/command/pos"
    availability_topic: "shellies/shellyswitch25-C4B6A1/online"
    payload_available: "true"
    payload_not_available: "false"
    state_open: "open"
    state_opening: "opening"
    state_closed: "closed"
    state_closing: "closing"
    state_stopped: "stopped"
    qos: 1
    retain: false
    payload_open: "open"
    payload_close: "close"
    payload_stop: "stop"
    position_open: 100
    position_closed: 0
    optimistic: false

but the warning in the log file still be …

Any suggestion? … MQTT deice are Shelly 2.5.

Thanks again, regards
Stefano

Yeh I can try some different templates or ignore the warning.
Fortunately the cover works great, this message isn’t a problem.
thanks again

Hi, had the same problem, since updated to latest home assistant version. You’re almost there, try these state commands:

state_open: "open"
state_opening: "opening"
state_closed: "close"
state_closing: "closing"
state_stopped: "stop"

pay attention to the difference “stopped, closed” and “stop, close”. My warnings are now gone.

sReggy · May 13, 2021, 3:29pm

Thanks for your suggestion, in the meanwhile a did a simplification of the MQTT definition, now it’s like:

  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Tapparella Cucina"
    unique_id: tapparella_cucina
    command_topic: "shellies/shellyswitch25-C4B6A1/roller/0/command"
    position_topic: "shellies/shellyswitch25-C4B6A1/roller/0/pos"
    set_position_topic: "shellies/shellyswitch25-C4B6A1/roller/0/command/pos"
    availability_topic: "shellies/shellyswitch25-C4B6A1/online"
    payload_available: "true"
    payload_not_available: "false"
    qos: 1
    retain: false
    payload_open: "open"
    payload_close: "close"
    payload_stop: "stop"
    position_open: 100
    position_closed: 0

after doing this, warning in log disappear.

thanks to all

Regards
Stefano
