This guide was put together with the help of @HarriedeGroot , @Camelen , @xAPPO , @scanno and others. All I am doing is collating everything below this post to help others. First Step - gBridge Go to gBridge.io and open a free account. ( http://gbridge.io/ ) With in the Account Settings you will se…

Will try that later, but first I noticed this in my MQTT Hub logs 20190221-07:40:13 sucessfully subscribed to topic: u796/$command That doesn’t seem to be the correct topic. What does it say for you in the log? I have the protocol set to Homie Convention v3.0.1, the root topic to gBridge and the…

The command topic is correct, used for other purposes. Do you receive log messages in the MQTT Client when publishing to set?

Yes 20190221-08:30:43 received ‘EXECUTE’ on ‘gBridge/u796/d0/grequest’ 20190221-08:30:43 Trigger generic card for gBridge/u796/d0/grequest 20190221-08:30:43 send message to listeners via realtime api 20190221-08:30:43 gBridge/u796/d0/grequest: EXECUTE 20190221-08:30:43 OnMessage called 201902…

So messages from the client are not received in the hub. Looks like a communication/registration issue on the app2app interface. Did you try rebooting Homey and/or restarting the client & hub apps (in this order)?

Note to self: next time, reboot first, ask questions later :grinning: thx for all the help guys. Can someone point me in the direction of a post explaining how to install the HA-branch on my Homey so I can get proper percentage scaling for dimming?

Thanks, got the HA-branch installed, turning on/off is still working, but dimming isn’t. Tried using both the int(0-100) and the float(0-1) settings. [Capture] The blue value is what gets updated when I adjust the brightness through Homey. The red value is what gets updated when changing brightnes…

Logs are correct. It does even display setting the dim value to .94. The int(0…100) setting is the correct one. @Camelen got this working already?

You set it wrong in gBridge. You need to change the /brightness/set tag to /dim/set.

Yeah, I just figured that out about a minute ago when looking through the logs again. Doh! gBridge defaults to ‘brightness’ where it should be ‘dim’. Thanks so much guys! This will greatly increase the Wife Acceptance Factor of the Homey setup :wink:
