Personally I wouldn't mind the MQTT only route as that's essentially how I'd be using them, however it would be nicer if it was built in.

It's not really about being nice to have but rather the benefit vs. time to develop, test and support this feature. Normally there is a discussion on Github or Discord (or this forum). Then if there is enough interest from the community we add a feature request on Github and see who can implement it.

Note that there are numerous other ideas and requests floating around, so this will take some time. The only way I see to expedite your request is to try coding this as a custom plug-in first...

If there were more core2 users of openHASP that could go faster but I don't see that currently. Maybe it's a bit like the chicken and egg problem. I might consider posting about openHASP in the Projects section to gauge interest.

So I'm left thinking there is a bug in the command parser or the documentation isn't clear...

I can confirm that this problem is a parser bug. It currently only accepts unquoted boolean values of true/false or 1/0 instead of the usual range of: on/off, true/false, 0/1, yes/no which might be quoted or not.

This is particularly confusing since the state is always reported as on/off.

Thank you very much for bringing this issue to my attention. I have pushed a fix to GitHub and it is available for testing from the Actions tab and updated the documentation.

Hi all 👋, I'm the creator of the openHASP firmware. Thank you @cerietke for starting this topic and providing the link to it. Reading over this thread I get a much better view on the hardware questions and how these devices are supposed to work together.

 
Unfortunately I don't own a Pb.HUB or these sensors myself... Hence my reluctance of adding support in the firmware as I have no means of testing it myself. I'm truly sorry if this came across as being indifferent to your questions. We are happy to help out all openHASP users from beginners to developers!

I do own several M5stack devices but I've only tested the M5Stack core2 standalone. With the Arduino library that @felmue posted it should be possible to add that driver for the Pb.HUB. I see two routes:

• either a custom add-on where the hubs gpio are exposed via MQTT only or
• officially add the device to the firmware and add it the Web UI, MQTT, etc... like normal GPIOs

Option 1 can be done by any developer with access to the hardware, while option 2 will take more effort and testing because it requires changes in several modules of the firmware. It also means I need to have access to the hardware.

 
As for the GPIO issues, I can not see the problem from the logs posted above. But I have seen another post about not being able to turn an output off. So I'm left thinking there is a bug in the command parser or the documentation isn't clear...

I will wip out my core2 to do some tests and keep you posted.
