EventGhost

I would like to use an EG variable in the topic field of the publish command. This field seems not to support variables. Could someone add this feature please?

Thank you.


What have you tried that leads you to conclude that the topic field does not support variables? I'm not quite sure I ...

Hello!

I need to change the HDMI out settings. I've downloaded YNC.zip from @Dragon470, and I've found the command, but I can't figure out how to get a command I can use in the plugin.

The commands I need is in row 2625, 2626, 2627, 2628 and 2629 in the document "V671_3071_FuncTree_1.10" in the ...

That's all I can ask for. Much appreciated!

I made something very similar I would have to dig it up. It doesn't use the OSD plugin. I created a custom window that would fade in and fade out. You can set the text and text border colors but you could also set the transparency of each and you could choose to draw a colored box with or without ...

At line 2427, the print statement should be:

I added a correction to an error line (1512).
I guess this correction should be to other error lines as well (str(r['state']['on'])) ?
Thanks for that tip, bxr . :D That fixed the error I was experiencing.

Instead of downloading your attachment, I simply modified the code as you explained where I ...

If you have not yet solved this, I would bet that AutoHotkey would be the thing you need. Its remapping of keys works better than EventGhost's remapping (at least in the small bit that I have tried) in that it can receive and react to the key events while blocking the OS from receiving them.

OK, so I really have no idea what the heck changed, but somehow...it's now working. :shock:

According to my best recollection, the only thing I changed was that I deleted the disabled "Keyboard" plugin from my EG configuration. I can't imagine that that would have anything to do with the MQTT ...

Good idea on the screenshot. This is EG's log of me testing it with the debugging print statements you asked me to insert into the code. Also, I have included the plugin settings window to see how I have it configured.

It appears I am not getting an event in EG. Does everything look okay so far?

OK, fine, I see

The thing is that in general topics need to be with a leading slash (/)

So in your case, you have to set the topic to /eventghost/#

When you publish the timestamp in the RPi, you have to publish it to the topic /eventghost
On mosquitto's man page, all their examples have no ...

Copy & paste some messages here so I can see the structure of them

I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding you, or if I've confused you. I am sending MQTT messages from Node-RED on my R-Pi to Eventghost on my PC. For testing purposes, I am simply sending a timestamp. If the copy/paste of the message ...

How does your topic definition in EG MQTT Client look like?

I am testing with the topic as:
eventghost/#

How does the mqtt event look like that you are publishing?

I am using Node-RED (from a Raspberry Pi on my LAN) to test the MQTT on Eventghost. Currently, I am just sending a timestamp as ...

Scratch all that...
I now have it working, it was more about the format of the topic definitions on my side, not a problem with the plugin.
Sorry to have wasted your time! Silly me... :roll:

Can you share what you did to fix it? I am experiencing the same issue that you had (i.e. no MQTT messages ...

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, Pako! I am working on making lnetatmo.py compatible with python 2.6 right now.

I am attempting to write a plugin for EventGhost. It will need access to another python library that I have retrieved from github, so I placed that file in the site-packages folder. After restarting EG, when I try to add my plugin, EG freezes. So, in an attempt to troubleshoot it, I ran EG in -debug ...
