Unable to set desired temperature using mqtt (home assistant) about hometop_ht3 HOT 3 CLOSED

I noticed that rpi3 is added to the topic when using homeassistant.

This rpi3 addon is the name of your RPi and added in front of the root-topic per default.
The resulting topic is then like this one: rpi3/hometop/ht/hc1_Tdesired.
In some cases it is useful to have this information to separate topics send by different machines.
But in most cases it is unused and not required and should be disabled per default.

To disable this addon modify that mqtt-configuration file used by ht_collgate.py and ht_2hassio.py.
You have to restart that processes again.

config-file: ~/HT3/sw/etc/config/mqtt_client_cfg.xml
modification:
<mqtt_client>
....
<device_id></device_id>
....
</mqtt_client>

Please check this modification on your system with that following command (for Fxyz controllers):
mosquitto_pub -d -h <host IP-Adr.> -t set/hometop/ht/hc1_Tdesired -m "21.5,heizen"
or for Cxyz controllers:
mosquitto_pub -d -h <host IP-Adr.> -t set/hometop/ht/hc1_Tdesired -m "21.5,comfort2"

Also you can enable the debug-mode for mqtt-messages with:
< logging>
.....
< loglevel>DEBUG</ loglevel>
</ logging>

I'll disable this topic-addon per default and check it again in my heater-system together with homeassistant.

Thanks for your quick response. Removing localhost from <device_id> made it work. If I have some more questions in the future, what is the best way to ask them? I noticed the German Mikrocontroller forums, but I don't speak German.

Thanks again for your time and keep up the good work!

I'll think this is the right place here located by the project using English language.
If you have a new topic (also for questions) then you can open a new issue.
