Servos don't move

#1

just installed V2 firmware to the esp8266 and configured. MQTT.fx has green light and hello world! works. I get no movement from the servo/s if I publish any number from 0-100. Using Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+…

Do you get the initial state from the Blinds Control Device in MQTT.FX ?

Thank you for your quick response. I started over with version 1 and was successful with controlling the servos with MQTT.fx, although, I am unable to control the blinds within openHAB2. This is my sitemap…
sitemap home label=“MK-SmartHouse”
{
Frame label=“Entryway”
{
Switch item=DEMOSW
}
Frame label=“Maya’s Bedroom”
{
Switch item=DEMOSW
}
Frame label=“Maya’s Bathroom”
{
Switch item=DEMOSW
}
Frame label=“Hallway”
{
Switch item=DEMOSW
}
Frame label=“Master Bedroom”
{
Switch item=DEMOSW
}
Frame label=“Master Bathroom”
{
Switch item=DEMOSW
}
Frame label=“Living Room”
{
Switch item=MKBlindsControl1 mappings=[0=“Open”, 56=“Half”, 100=“Close”]
Slider item=MKBlindsControl1
}
}

Items…
//Blinds Controls
Dimmer MKBlindsControl1 “MK Blinds [%s]” [ “Lighting” ] {mqtt=">[broker:MK-SmartHouse/utilities/MK-BlindsControl1:command:*:default]"}

Hmmmm… I have played with MQTT and still cannot get openhab2 to tilt my blinds. The only possible change i can make is to buy a new Raspberry Pi 3+ and see if it solves my problem. log…

Success! The new Pi3 B+ may have helped but I think it was a syntax error I overlooked in the mqtt.cfg file. I did not remove the arrows as instructed. “LEFTARROWbrokerRIGHTARROW vs broker”. I think Im ready for V2 now and order blinds controllers for the rest of the house. Thank you Matt for all your hard work and help. Ill be looking forward to more stuff in the near future. I would like to get all these blinds solar powered!

Have a wonderful day everyone!
