Gents, I managed to setup gBridge , MQTT Hub and MQTT Client where I set up a device in gBridge and successfully installed the device in my Google Home where I can see the device but clicking ON/OFF buttons is not working! What I am doing wrong? Thanks,

It’s important to know that a device showing in google home only confirms that the connection between gBridge and GH works. This is no indication that the connection between Homey and gBridge works. The most common error by far that people do is that they have put the /set topic on the wrong place …

Thanks for the prompt response and can you please tell me how to test the connection between Homey and gBridge if is OK or not? Thanks,

Here we go MQTT Explorer’s screenshot: [33] And my device at gbridge: [29] Whats wrong here any help please? Thanks,

Set belongs on the other side and you are not allowed to use capitals. So: action: …/livingroom2/onoff/set status: …/livingroom/onoff

Thanks, So I need to keep the whole lines like this? Action : gBridge/u674/d4064/livingroom2/onoff/set Status : gBridge/u674/d4064/livingroom2/onoff Thanks,

You also need to delete the “d4064” part of the topic. It’s some default naming thing from gBridge that does not belong. Check the first post (the guide) and look at what the topics contain there. gBridge/Username (u674)/name of device/capability/(set, if action) Edit: Also if you have the setti…

And… it stopped working again here. Restarting client/hub didn’t solve it. God, I hope Google approves Homey soon… :frowning:
