Feature Request: process MQTT publishes

[emcepe]

It would be really cool if smahub would process MQTT "set" publishes, i.e. if you want to enable/disable AFCI, Auto-Updates, Modbus or ShadeFix, Reboot the device, change the name and whatnot (feel free to extend the list)

For example:

publish off to the brokers topic SMA/$serial/set/AFCI and smahub would then send the corresponding HTTP request to the device.

I already have all these things implemented via HTTPMOD in FHEM, found smahub some days ago and want to switch to it completely but that would only make sense if I can use that MQTT device also for the given set commands 😀

If you are interested in such a feature, I'll try to implement it in smahub.

If smahub is already capable to do this, then please tell me how, I did not find anything like that in your documentation.

Thanks.

Uh, tbh I don't think this is in already - I'm a bit short on time for smahub atm unfortunately, so very grateful if you want to take this on!

Hello Daniel,

OK, almost finished - For now its a sidecar and runs pretty well 😀

Next step is the integration into smahub itself respectively plugins/sources/TripowerX/tripowerx.py and plugins/sinks/mqtt/mqtt.py.
Or would you prefer it to remain independent?

I cannot implement it for the other components such as EVCharger, SHM2 and HomeAssistant because I do not have these devices nor HA. Well, I can implement it also but cannot test it and I don't like to write stuff I cannot test 😉

Yes, that is a problem I have as well for half of the things in smahub. We really could use a testing harness push, to get some foundations in place for changes...

Any way you can let me have a look at what you've done there? Then I could make up my mind... ;-)
