    I have flashed numerous devices with the Open Beken software but I'm having trouble getting the status of the device (on or off, 1 or 2). With a Tasmota device I can send cmnd/topic/POWER without a payload and the current status is returned. I have tried both of the following without a payload but don't get anything back. Am I doing something wrong?

    cmnd/topic/POWER
    topic/1/get

    Thanks,
    Bob

    Hello @bargner46 , it seems you are correct - the JSON status is enabled only for HTTP cmnd so Tasmota Control from Google Play can work.
    I will enable it for MQTT as well later today or in the following days, can you wait up to 48h?

    I enabled it for you in the latest build, can you check if it works as you expected it to?

    Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard
    cmnd/topic/POWER
    should also work now.
    Do you need anything else? Status also should work, I think.

    Here's the automatic self-test file for this feature:

    Well I flashed one of my Open Beken devices with 1.15.369 and the MQTT worked perfectly I could use either your protocol or the Tasmota protocol and they both returned the status as expected.

    Thank you so much for the quick response. Now I need to update the rest of my devices.

    Now we are also compatible with ioBroker sonoff plugin and tomorrow we're getting Wemo Alexa support.
