is shown - but no devices at all are visible - why is mqtt-user/pwd mandatory? (I do not use authentication for my mqtt server)

thanks

Hello,

Thanks for reporting the issue.

Have you tried physically pressing a button or changing the state of any devices ? Maybe there is an issue with REFRESH_AT_START that publish the initial state of all devices onces the app starts. I will have a look.

Regarding the required MQTT user/password that should not be mandatory I will have a look. But if you provide them with whatever value and your MQTT server is open, it may works.

@holli73 Please have a look at the version 2.0.3 that should solve the two problems mentioned above.

By the way, this is a know limitation... Look at the migration guide for the work around. If you absolutely want scene events in MQTT you have to stick with 1.x that uses the legacy API. I've no idea why they remove this feature in the new API.

hello,

with 2.0.3 i get now devices as well but the grouping is a bit strange - f.ex. i have a room called LivingRoom and in this room i have light device and 2 shade devices and all is on the root tree as documented - but the room itself has a brightness as well but this value is not changed - wouldn't it be better if all devices are in the grouping as already defined in dss?
f.ex.: .../devices/RoomName/DeviceName/sub-elements

i use the digitalstrom devices as master switches and not in rooms - i created the room lights with vdcd/vdsm but these devices are not replicated but on these devices i have my scene call's defined (output - 100/75/50/25) - so with v2 it is impossilbe to react in my env. on any light change/scene call.

hope this makes sense

best regards
holli

...wouldn't it be better if all devices are in the grouping as already defined in dss? f.ex.: .../devices/RoomName/DeviceName/sub-elements

I will not do that. My goal is to make abstraction of digitalstrom internal structure and just have plain devices.

So basically you use virtual devices and those are not listed in the v2. Were they in v1 ?

I understand your issue with the scenes but I've no solution for now. I suggest you stick to the v1.x until digitalstrom implement something in their new API.
