JSON Payload unable to send options

[Steady183]

Firstly, let me say thank you for this project. It's exactly what i was looking for to integrate into my home automation project.

I have an issue with the following that i can't for the life of me rectify.
I can send the following and it works as expected.

Topic- homeassistant/dishwasher/activeProgram
Payload- [{"program":"Auto2","options":[{"uid":5121,"value":true}]}]

5121 is the extra dry option. But if i send it with 5123 (HygeinePlus) or 5137 (SpeedPerfect) it doesn't.

I essentially want to be able to send multiple options with a program as they are selected on home assistant.
If i have the options selected prior and then send the start program payload minus the options it runs without them regardless.
Is there a way to start a program with the user selected options?

If you activate the options they should appear activated on the device and run if you start the device with the physical button, but the active program requires them manually added. There is another issue on here which uses a template to add the selected program, you could probably use a similar approach to add the selected Programs:

#169

How are you sending the multiple options together? I think each one goes in its own dict so [{"uid":123,"value":true},{"uid":321,"value":true}] rather than [{"uid":123,"value":true,"uid":321,"value":true}]

I was adding the extra options as you suggested:

[{"program":"8195","options":[{"uid":5121,"value":true},{"uid":5137,"value":true}]}]

But this just fails and nothing happens.
I had a look at that template and i've tried that and also something similar in pyscript

payload = [{

"program": mqtt_program,
"options": [{"uid": 5121, "value": extradry}]
}]
mqtt.publish(
topic="homeassistant/dishwasher/activeProgram",
payload=json.dumps(payload)
)

But neither seems to work correctly. I can get the program and extra dry to turn on and run. But i can't get any programs to run HygienePlus or SpeedPerfect without manually starting them.

I believe ExtraDry is a setting rather than a program option (although there are various different names and translations between models for the same things), is your 5121 an option in the full name?

         "4356": {
                "name": "Dishcare.Dishwasher.Setting.ExtraDry",

The extra drying option on mine is:

            "5128": {
                "name": "Dishcare.Dishwasher.Option.BrillianceDry",

Is there any messages in the logs when you publish the request?

I only use 558 for delay so haven't really experimented with a mixture of options but can check what is happening with mine later.

Here are my options just for your reference but i think i've solved the issue.

        },

        "5121": {
            "name": "Dishcare.Dishwasher.Option.ExtraDry",
            "access": "readWrite",
            "available": "true",
            "default": "false",
            "refCID": "01",
            "refDID": "00"
        },
        "5123": {
            "name": "Dishcare.Dishwasher.Option.HygienePlus",
            "access": "readWrite",
            "available": "true",
            "default": "false",
            "refCID": "01",
            "refDID": "00"
        },
        "5136": {
            "name": "Dishcare.Dishwasher.Option.SilenceOnDemand",
            "access": "readWrite",
            "available": "true",
            "default": "false",
            "refCID": "01",
            "refDID": "00"
        },
        "5137": {
            "name": "Dishcare.Dishwasher.Option.VarioSpeed",
            "access": "readWrite",
            "available": "true",
            "default": "false",
            "refCID": "01",
            "refDID": "00"

I was able to change the options by just sending a payload with the individual UID's without a program. So i figured they were correct. But the messages still wouldn't work, they were being sent in the logs though. I did a reset on the dishwasher and started publishing the mqtt message with it in it's off state. This seems to have worked. It's now accepting the options along with the program in this format.

action: mqtt.publish
data:
evaluate_payload: false
qos: 0
retain: false
topic: homeassistant/dishwasher/activeProgram
payload: >-
[{"program":"Auto2","options":[{"uid":5137,"value":false},
{"uid":5121,"value":false}, {"uid":5123,"value":false}]}]

Thank you for your help, much appreciated.

```     

Just wanted to share this in case anyone needs it. I wrote this in pyscript which was much easier. 
This works now and no further issues. It accounts for the different settings on a Bosch Dishwasher Series 6. 

If you send an option the program doesn't allow it just wont start so had to separate them out.
