What Am I doing Wrong?

[evilpete]

I am trying to feed data from my outdoor temperature sensor (LaCrosse-TX141Bv3).

I'm receiving the data using an SDR dongle and passing it via mqtt.

The data I'm sending to MQTT:

{"time" : "2025-08-07 13:39:10", "protocol" : 73, "model" : "LaCrosse-TX141Bv3", "id" : 237, "channel" : 1, "battery_ok" : 1, "temperature_C" : 20.800, "test" : "No"}

This is the json output from rtl_433

 

My devfile:

devices:
 - id: "TX141Bv1"
   sensor_id: "temperature_C"
   type: "Temp"
   name: "Temperature"
   status_topic: "rtl_433/LaCrosse-TX141Bv3/temperature_C"
   cmd_topic: "rtl_433/LaCrosse-TX141Bv3/power"
 - id: "TX141Bv2"
   sensor_id: "battery_ok"
   type: "raw"
   name: "Battery"
   status_topic: "rtl_433/LaCrosse-TX141Bv3/battery_ok"
   cmd_topic: "rtl_433/LaCrosse-TX141Bv3/power"
 - id: "TX141Bv4"
   sensor_id: "test"
   type: "flag"
   name: "testFlag"
   status_topic: "rtl_433/LaCrosse-TX141Bv3/test"
   cmd_topic: "rtl_433/LaCrosse-TX141Bv3/power"

MQTT Explorer reports:

But Im seeing

any suggestions?

I'm guessing I am misinterpreting fieldnames?

Hi @evilpete,

The MQTT plug-in was designed for Tasmota integrations. Tasmota doesn't send JSON packets, only individual data points.

I think @sjenkins added one or two devices, which send JSON packets. He might be able to shed more light to see, if using his device-type will better match your needs.

Thanks  I'll do more studying..

I found a few filters that grok the json and publish the filtered results.
