Help a beginner [solved]

[mugginsjm]

I have been meddling with automation for years, dabbling in lua, java, vbnet etc etc and am currently tied into MQTT with satellite ESP8266 modules. I appreciate that FHEM has a lot of power but for the moment I don't want to embark upon another headache inducing learning experience. I wanted to replace a few old mains driven motorized valves with battery driven ones (Max EQ3) and I needed to install FHEM to drive them. I have MQTT with "Alexa" etc installed on RPI alongside FHEM so I just need to be able to send a couple of simple commands from MQTT.
thanks again

Hi John,

thx for this update, I like avoiding headaches by sticking to existing and working solutions .

Seems like most of the work is already done. As far as I understood, there are a few FHEM moduls implementing MQTT functionality, some basic info is - as always - included in the commandref.

Hi
I'll have a look at the MQTT stuff but for the moment I have had some success with a simple post:

thanks again

Thanks for update.

In case your problem is solved, you may edit the thread title to "[solved:] ...". This is possible by editing your first post.

(of course, you may wait until you had the look to MQTT)
