Issue reading Tasmota power sensor

General
1

Hey All.
I'm using the generic tasmota node to receive power consumption data from a CloudFree P2 power plug. However I'm getting an error message

On the tasmota console I see the values I'm looking for on the topic
"tele/dcPower/SENSOR"

However when this message is received by node red I get the following error.
"Invalid payload received for raw tasmota commands"

How can I set this up properly?
Thanks
Rich

There seem to be two different "generic tasmota" nodes listed at flows.nodered.org.
There is a reported issue on github for one of them that it does not work on Node-red 3.1.

If you had a more conventional setup with Mosquitto (or even Aedes) I'd say use an Mqtt-in node to subscribe to tele/dcPower/SENSOR and show us the result.

Yep, this is what I wound up doing. Works great!

Thanks!
