Yeah, now it works.

The script looks like this:

import sys
sys.path.append('/storage/.kodi/addons/service.mqtt/lib')
import client as mqtt

broker_address="192.168.XXX.XXX" 

client = mqtt.Client("P1") #create new instance
client.connect(broker_address) #connect to broker
client.publish("cmnd/bruecke1/power","ON")#publish

Now when the script is started this way

"python test.py"

a payload named "ON" is published to the topic "cmnd/bruecke1/power".

Thanks for your help.

Maybe this can help someone else...

Thanks for your response.

I changed the script this way, but it still won´t run...

Script:

#!/usr/bin/env python

#import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt #import the client1

import sys
sys.path.append('/storage/.kodi/addons/service.mqtt/lib')

broker_address="192.168.XXX.XXX" 

client = mqtt.Client("P1") #create new instance
client.connect(broker_address) #connect to broker
client.publish("house/main-light","OFF")#publish

This error occurs:

    client = mqtt.Client("P1") #create new instance
NameError: name 'mqtt' is not defined

What do i have to do to define "mqtt"

"import sys as mqtt" doesn´t work.

Hello,

thanks for the response.

i have installed the addon "kodi2mqtt"

i am trying to get a python script to run, but i am getting an error.

The script looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt #import the client1

broker_address="192.168.XXX.XXX"

client = mqtt.Client("P1") #create new instance

client.connect(broker_address) #connect to broker

client.publish("house/main-light","OFF")#publish

at the command-line i am trying the script to work like this:

"python test.py"

And the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 3, in <module>
    import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt #import the client1
ImportError: No module named paho.mqtt.client

The python-script doesn´t work.

Can someone help me with this script?

do i have to install some addons?

At the command-line it is not possible to install something.

Hi,

i have a question at my libreelec installation.

It runs on RPi3 at version 18.8

Is it possible with a button press on the remote control to publish a string via mqtt?

Example:

The button "Power" is pressed on the remote.

After that the string "OFF" should be published on the topic "device/Power"

is it possible?

Maybe a script or something?

I still have searched the internet, but didn´t find the right answers.

Can anyone give me a hint?

Thanks in advance
