MQTT Bridge issues

[rdrivas123]

Hello,

I am not sure that my issues is with the MQTT, it seems to be running, but how do I tell it is communicating to my hub?

[stjohnjohnson]

I would take a look at two logs:

• MQTT Bridge event.log
• SmartThings Live Logger: https://graph.api.smartthings.com/ide/logs

[rdrivas123]

I see nothing in the Live logger at all, where would the MQTT log be located?

OK, I now see things logging and coming to and from the hub, but I cant control my lights or see anything working.
I suspect it is because I have the wrong info in my configuration.yaml

Light:
Platform: mqtt
Name: “Kitchen Bar 1”
state_topic: “smartthings/Kitchen Bar 1/switch”
command_topic: “smartthings/Kitchen Bar 1/switch”

How do I identify my devices in home assistant now that the MQTT seems to be pushing data around?

This is an example of my config:

light:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Backyard Lights"
    state_topic: "smartthings/Backyard Lights/switch"
    command_topic: "smartthings/Backyard Lights/switch"
    payload_on: "on"
    payload_off: "off"

So I see the broker subscribe to the information in the config, the device shows up in homeassistant now, but when I turn it on or off nothing happens at all.

So I set my lights to off, then on again via Homeassistant, and here is what i get for a device command log:

I also get this in the live log:

Did you figure this out? I have it setup in Home Assistant and can see when the switch in on or off after triggering the toggle on the home assistant page, but nothing happens. I have nothing in the smartthings logs.
Thanks
