faikin floods mqtt broker

[ataelim]

while looking for what the faikin actually subscribes to, i enabled the (mosquitto) broker's "log_all" and found that the faikin module
not only subscribes with <prefix>/<MAC>/# , <prefix>/<appname>/# AND <prefix>/<hostname>/#
but also publishes status messages with topic = <MAC> and payload = {"online":true,"target":22.00,"temp":22.42,"inlet":21.67,"liquid":19.41,"fanfreq":0.0,"mode":"off","fan":"high"} every 3 seconds , although "reporting" (status reporting period) is set to 60.
Furthermore, i cannot get the faikin to react to any of the set or command topics i am publishing to the broker.
Maybe i completely misunderstand the documentation or something is simply wrong:
i am publishing with topic = <prefix>/<hostname> and payload = null (empty) , where <prefix> already contains the 'setting' string as set in the webui settings (and the faikin correctly subscribes to). it also does not respond when publishing with /* at the end of the topic, with "*" as the payload and with <MAC> or <appname> instead of <hostname> .
and it does not 'reset' or 'upgrade' when publishing the respective 'command' , neither when putting the command into the payload nor as suffix to the 'prefixcommand' setting in the web ui.
... i am at the end of wisdome here ... any ideas what is wrong ?
thanks !!

I am not seeing status posts ever 3 seconds here, there are some settings to control some of the reports. I can look in to it if you like.

The subscribes look right.

But the command and setting stuff definitely works! Not setting always replies using setting/MAC

Thanks a lot for quick reply ! i have set the *prefix*xxx values to my own values , so i can more easily distinguish from other MQTT devices on the same broker, e.g. prefixcommand = "faik/cmd" , prefixsetting="faik/set" when looking at the mosquitto logs (see below) , the subscriptions for them look correct. (the appname is "Faikin" and the hostname is set to "Faikin1". ; the 'prefixapp' setting is false) to confirm - given the mosquitto logs shown below, the correct topic and payload to trigger a mqtt response with all settings (i.e. request the Faikin to publish one ore more messages with the settings) would be topic=faik/set/Faikin/* or topic=faik/set/Faikin1/* or topic=faik/set/DC5475EFA6D4/* and payload=empty (zero-lenght string), while sending a command would be topic=faik/cmd/Faikin and payload=reset i am attaching a mqtt-monitor output with subscriptions to "faik/#" - where it should send status reports every 60 seconds (which it does NOT do - the message is received at 07:52 while the timestamp in the message is 07:27 - those are retained messages which the Faikin sent when (re)-connecting. and to DC5475EFA6D4/# - where it actually publishes every 3 seconds :-) final question: how to upgrade to latest firmware ? (the ota setting does not seem to trigger and upgrade, neither after 7 days nor after restart or powercycle ...) thanks a million, have a great day and let me know, if you need more input, Martin

The web page allows you to update and select beta (unless this is your own build).

I'd get on to latest code.

[ataelim]

some observations:
the "status report period" seems to be minutes (and not seconds ...) this is why i had the impression that there were no status updates at all.
whenever the 'settings' ui is entered, a 'status' mqtt message is published with topic=<status-prefix-topic>/<hostname> and payload={ts,id,up,mqtt-up,mem,spi}

[revk]

reporting is seconds, default 60. So should be once a minute.

[ataelim]

currently ( Version Faikin-S3-MINI-N4-R2: 4945ab0 2024-02-28T15:54:01) , mqttx monitor shows unsolicited messages from Faikin every hour. I will need to flash latest firmware onto the esp32 before testing further.

The "inlet" temperature in the log above is constantly changing.
Maybe every change is causing a new message.
