Using the MQTT set commands

With release 0.9.1 a list of set commands have been added to the MQTT set topic list. So from now on you can control your OTGW through MQTT using a list of logical names "set command" topics.

In the table below is the list of all the set commands available to you, and how they translate to the OTGW commands.

settopic	OTGW command send	value
command		string
setpoint	TT	temp = [number e.g. 20.5]
constant	TC	temp = [number e.g. 20.5]
outside	OT	temp = [number e.g. 20.5]
hotwater	HW	temp = [number e.g. 20.5]
gatewaymode	GW	on = 1 or off = R or 0
setback	SB	temp = [number e.g. 20.5]
maxchsetpt	SH	temp = [number e.g. 20.5]
maxdhwsetpt	SW	temp = [number e.g. 20.5]
maxmodulation	MM	level = [0-100]%
ctrlsetpt	CS	temp = [number e.g. 20.5]
ctrlsetpt2	C2	temp = [number e.g. 20.5]
chenable	CH	on = 1 or off = 0
chenable2	H2	on = 1 or off = 0
ventsetpt	VS	level = [0-100]%
temperaturesensor	TS	function
addalternative	AA	function
delalternative	DA	function
unknownid	UI	function
knownid	KI	function
priomsg	PM	function
setresponse	SR	function
clearrespons	CR	function
resetcounter	RS	function
ignoretransitations	IT	function
overridehb	OH	function
forcethermostat	FT	function
voltageref	VR	function
debugptr	DP	function

To find out what all commands mean you should read Schelte's firmware command page: https://otgw.tclcode.com/firmware.html

So from 0.9.1 onward you can simply send the right command, using a right set command.

topic: OTGW/set/otgw-8CAAB55908D6/setpoint
value: 21.5

The firmware will receive the MQTT message from the set topic and forward it to the OTGW this: TT=21.5

The generic command set topic is still available, to make sure it's backward compatible to all pre-0.9.1 releases.

topic: OTGW/set/otgw-8CAAB55908D6/command
value: TT=21.5

The firmware will convert this to the same message for the OTGW: TT=21.5

This way your automation in Node-red or YAML will be more readable.
