Hey everyone, I’m really excited to share my journey of integrating MQTT into my smart home setup. I’ve been experimenting with different devices and protocols, and MQTT has been a game-changer for me. However, I’ve encountered a few hurdles along the way that I’d love to discuss with the community.
First, I’ve been working on sending custom commands to my thermostat using MQTT. The command format I need to send is {“Device”:“TermostatSalon”,“Write”:{“TuyaTempTarget”:%s}}, where %s is the temperature value. I’m not entirely sure how to structure this command properly within MQTT. Does anyone have experience with sending similar commands and could share their approach?
Another topic I’d like to touch on is device compatibility. I recently acquired a Tuya-based door sensor, but I need to connect an external switch to it. The challenge here is that the switch is housed in a metal box, which blocks Wi-Fi signals. I’ve been searching for a Tuya-compatible sensor that can handle this setup, but I haven’t found anything yet. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or knows of a workaround?
On a lighter note, I’d love to hear about others’ experiences with integrating MQTT into their systems. What devices or protocols have you found to work seamlessly with MQTT? I’m particularly interested in any tips or tricks that could help optimize my setup.
Lastly, I’m curious about how others handle device compatibility across different brands. I’ve been trying to create a unified system using various devices, and while it’s been challenging, it’s also incredibly rewarding. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you all!
