Greetings!
I have problems with my Shelly dimmer 2. I have set it up over mqtt. Everything works great except dimming slider value. Dimming slider works great when I am using it, but I wan't that slider pick up the value from shelly dimmer when it is dimmed somewhere else.
I have subscribed to MQTT topic "shellies/shellydimmer2-D8BFC01A040E/light/0/status" and when I dimm it somewhere else I get this on debug node
So a small lesson on JS objects and their equivalent string representation (AKA JSON)...
Your payload is a string/JSON (due to the Output setting on the MQTT node). You could attempt some complex splits and loops etc - but - as it is JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) - just let JS do its thing - turn that JSON back into a JS Object! (if you dont know what I mean, it'd be worth reading up - will help you greatly in node-red knowing the difference)
So first off, change your MQTT IN to...
... then you will be able to simply "copy path" to any item
There’s a great page in the docs that will explain how to use the debug panel to find the right path to any data item.
