How to benefit of the full topic option

If the configuration option topic_mode is set to full or both, only the topic /from change, the data (payload) is sent/received in a JSON format using following topics:

• xiaomi/from/{{sid}}/{{cmd}}/{{model}}
• xiaomi/from/{{sid}}/{{cmd}}/{{model}}/status (if status sent by device)

with sid, cmd, model, replaced by the ones sent by the device. The payload is untouched, all information will be sent.

So for example you can have a new topic like:

topic: xiaomi/from/158d0003102db5/report/cube
payload:
{
  "cmd":"report",
  "model":"cube",
  "sid":"158d0003102db5",
  "short_id":46605,
  "data":{"status":"move"}
}

If the device return a status, the topic is extended by status allowing for example to get only status change messages.

topic: xiaomi/from/158d0003102db5/report/cube/status
payload:
{
  "cmd":"report",
  "model":"cube",
  "sid":"158d0003102db5",
  "short_id":46605,
  "data":{"status":"flip90"}
}

What does this means? You can do subscription filtering, have a look at documentation on this point.

subscribe to a specific device

topic: xiaomi/from/158d0003102db5/#

  "sid":"158d0003102db5",
  "short_id":46605,
  "data":{"status":"move"}
}

  "data": {
    "status": "close"
  }
}
