Iobroker integration

[Evilghost12]

Has anyone already tried to integrate this WiFi module into Iobroker via MQTT? Unfortunately, this module does not create automatic objects. Unfortunately I have little experience with JSON in IoBroker.

ioBroker is more popular in German-speaking countries. Are you German?
Maybe I can help you. However, you should have a little knowledge of MQTT and also how to create your own data points and scripts.

YES, I'm from Austria :-) ; In the meantime I have read a little and created the data points that I need and I also read out the JSON attributes and create data points with them - it seems to work - THANK YOU very much

Some specific examples would be helpful.

Maybe im missing somethin if i send this payload via MQTT:
{"power":"true", "fan":"5", "mode":"C"}
The Fan changes to 5 the mode changes to cooling but it stays off. Is there some option which blocks powering on via mqtt?

[revk]

Err, surely "power":true not "power":"true" ?

Well that did it. Thansk alot. I feel stupid now. :-)

But still the "command/Faikin/on" or "command/Faikin/heat" do not work for me I tried setting payload to Null,"" or without.

This is how it works for me with IOBroker using JScript:

//faikinog is the hostname I gave the faikin device in its webgui.
sendTo('mqtt.0', 'sendMessage2Client', {"topic": 'command/faikinog/on', "message": ''}); //switching on

I'm using the MQTT Broker/Client in version 5.2.0.0 just as a broker.

I'm reading states using:

const obj_og = JSON.parse(getState('mqtt.0.state.faikinog.status').val);

log(obj_og); //logs the containing state infos

Hope this helps other beginners to find a starting point quicker :)

P.S. The webcontrols all work flawlessly.
