MQTT topics for write commands

[cloud-fans]

Hi,
version 1.7.3 using NOAH 2000.
I can sh into the docker container and adjust the power of the NOAH 2000 by entering:

python /app/grobro/tools/grocli.py
--action output_limit
--device-id 0PVP************
--mqtt-broker mosquitto-tls
--mqtt-port 7006
--mqtt-tls
--power 200

However, the write topics are not automatically published to HA. So I tried to set them up manually:
looking at the source code of the mqtt handler I was expecting this to be the right topic:

homeassistant/number/grobro/0PVP************/output_limit/set

and maybe this for reading?
homeassistant/number/grobro/0PVP************/output_limit/get

However its not working. Isnt it possile to send the set commands through MQTT at the moment or did I use the wrong topic?

Controls or "write-functionality" are introduced in v2.0 which is still to be released. Grocli is only an experimental tool build those messages.

thanks for clarifying, do you already have a release date in mind? Since the grocli is working the mqtt part should not be a big deal? Autodiscover for HA is nice to have but as long as I could control the NOAH via MQTT topics that would be just fine...

Does the current dev version supports the mqtt cmd for Noah 2000?

[robertzaage]

Only blocker is a missing migration guide and a lack of testing the migration.

Current dev version does support device controls for NOAH and NEO.

Hi,

well I was trying to control my Neo-800 using mqtt in HomeAssistant.
Currently I am using GroBro 2.0.1.

I am using this command and, according to MQTT-Explorer it is identical to what is happening when I move the slider in the HA UI.

action: mqtt.publish
data:
topic: homeassistant/number/grobro/QMN000BZPxxxxxxx/output_power_limit/set
payload: "100"

But I do not see a change in the behavior (output) of my Neo-800.

What is wrong with my command?

Thank you

Frank

when you are in HA, why not use the number.set_value?
This is how I set Neo Output in HA Developer tools (and can be used of course in Automations):

action: number.set_value
target:
entity_id: number.growatt_qmn000bzp4n991ml_output_power_limit
data:
value: "100"

Working fine. I use the entities to cotrol my neo or Noah

well, that was too easy... ;-)
...thanks for the hint.
