That works perfectly. Thanks again @VonOx

I think I’ve understood my mistake — actually I thought zwavejs2mqtt also created an MQTT broker when in fact you have to use an existing MQTT broker. When I saw the config of your Node-RED flow with 2 MQTT

24

@spenceur, just a question: did you create your MQTT server 192.168.1.30 on port 1885 beforehand?

zwavejs2mqtt doesn’t create an MQTT server, so I think that’s your problem.

For me, 2 solutions:

  • either you deploy a new MQTT container on port 1885 (or another free port) and dedicate it to zwave2mqtt, like what is done when you enable the zigbee2mqtt integration. This integration adds 2 containers if you’ve already noticed! One for z2m and the 2nd for MQTT on port 1884.

  • or you use the same MQTT server as Gladys, for example.

Oh yes, and another thing — I hope you’re not using your password everywhere, because we all know it now!

Oh damn, it was a password for my local environment :smiley:
Thanks for the info @_Will_71
However, I configured Gladys’s MQTT server in zwavejs2mqtt (I must be dumb but I don’t see anything in the logs nor in MQTT Explorer ^^')

EDIT :
Well, I don’t know why but Gladys had crashed after a restart — it’s ok now
so I’m continuing my migration then

So, quick note: I know how to retrieve the info but I don’t know how to send commands to my devices :smiley: Do I just publish to the same topic I’m subscribed to?
(I’m trying to migrate an fgd-212 for now ^^)

For my part I can read the current value and write to targetValue

Thanks for your help :slight_smile:

I’ve tried changing the targetValue, but nothing changes :confused:

What are you controlling it with? Is it ON/OFF? Have you tried with the On and the Off by setting them to false, for example.

Here, for example I have a module for a shutter and I have several options.
Either I can modify the targetValue or I can change the state of Up and Down

Indeed, I was foolishly trying to set the on/off and not the targetValue ^^’
Well, the migration of the FGD 212s is progressing — I’ll look at the rest this weekend, thanks a lot :slight_smile:

This tutorial should be updated with zwave-js-ui :slight_smile: (the successor to ZwaveJS2mqtt which is deprecated / just a rename)

See a post like this:
