Mqtt smartthings bridge on hassbian

Devices & Integrations
1

Hi am very new to this and rely need some help.
i have a smartthings hub v2 that i connected to my hassbian installation.
But it doesn’t work, if i use: sudo mosquitto_sub -u mosquitto_user -P mosquitto_password -v -t
I can see the device i added in the app change to on/off when i turn it on/off from homeassistant,
but the switch does not change in homeassistant for that device, and i can’t control the device from homeassistant, nor does it show anything when i turn the switch in home assistant, if i click the switch, it turns back to off after a second.

i followed this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUsMVrs1ot0

this is my conf in homeassistant.yaml

mqtt:
broker: localhost
port: 8081
protocol: 3.1
keepalive: 60
client_id: smartthings
username: not for you
password: not for you

switch:

  • platform: mqtt
    name: “Byro Stora Sovrummet”
    state_topic: “smartthings/2:Byro Stora Sovrummet/switch”
    command_topic: “smartthings/2:Byro Stora Sovrummet/switch”
    payload_on: “on”
    payload_off: “off”
    retain: true

and this is the conf from opt/mqtt-bridge/config.yml

mqtt:
# Specify your MQTT Broker’s hostname or IP address here

Port number to listen on

port: 8081

If i open a brower and go to http://192.168.1.194:8081 i gett: Cannot GET /

and when i run: pm2 start smartthings-mqtt-bridge i gett:

I have a similar issue having just installed Hassbian yesterday on my Pi 3B+.

Everything installed without issues (eventually) and if I add a bulb into the configuration.yaml file it shows in Home Assistant.

However if the bulb was on it doesn’t show its current state, if I try to use the switch in Home Assistant it moves and does nothing. If I use the Smartthings app on the phone to turn the device on/off it updates the switch in Home Assistant.

I am baffled as to why…

here is my configuration.yaml file

homeassistant:
