[DSC08296-FB] I really wanted a dashboard in the wall to control everything I want. Last couple of week’s I’ve discovered homey-dash. Great I thought, and build an old iPad 2 inside the wall. Sadly, the dashboard was very limited. I could only start some flows, and control some switches. To see in…

Hi all, I got my dashboard set up almost done now, only some tweaking here and there left. Thanks everyone for the help and advice. However, now I sometimes encounter a problem. I have the MQTT broker running in docker on my Synology nas, but when the nas is rebooted after a update for instance, a…

I have not encountered something like this. A received mqtt message should never activate a device unless you specifically programmed it to do so. In theory you could flip everting around and use the homey just as a device and do the flows on Node-red to control anything (just like the new pro-flows…

Thnx for the reply. The thing is that I only have an “mqtt in” node to read my home alarm state which in turn shows an icon based on the state, so nothing in node red can actually control my alarm. Still it is activated after a broadcast. I also don’t use any switches, I noticed the switches some…

What happens when you press the broadcast button in the MQTT hub settings? [afbeelding]

Sorry for the late reply. Been a bit busy. Just pushing broadcast in the mqtt hub does exactly what is expected, it triggers a broadcast and updates all selected devices. Nothing strange here. As it seems it only happens when homey is rebooted or when my NAS is rebooted. Will do some further test…

This solved those kind of problems here: [image] [TUTORIAL] Setting up MQTT on Homey for configuring Home Assistant for dashboard purposes What solved it for me is: 1.Go to MQTT Hub 2. Set COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL to Custom 3. Enable Include class 4. Disable Include zone 5. Normalize I think…

After implementing the above settings (and changing all topics in the dashboard) my problem still exists. Yesterday is was able to narrow it down to the application giving the error. After restarting the Mosquitto MQTT docker container, all my lights flicker, thermostat is turned off and alarm is …

[image] Jeroen_Zillig: Anyone knows if there any way to create a debug log in Homey? You can install the app by CLI, and then run homey app run Then you can see the debug output in the cmd screen. [Screenshot from 2023-03-18 14-58-39] How to CLI: https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-cli…

You can add a debug node in Node -red to see all messages coming in. That might be helpful narrowing down the problem: [afbeelding] The Homey MQTT Hub has also a log, but I don’t think it could solve your problem: [afbeelding] The Homey MQTT Client has also a log: [afbeelding] (All in the a…

@Peter_Kawa @Satoer Thank you Peter and Michel, Already found the log in the mqtt client. Will try to narrow down the issue with teh loggings in Homey when i get back from work. Thanks in advance for the support!
