4. Advanced Commands (Direct MQTT Control)

If the card buttons are enough for you, you can skip this chapter. This is for advanced users who need detailed configuration or diagnostics.


Where to send commands

Go to Settings → Devices & Services → MQTT → ⚙ Configure (on the Mosquitto row) and you can use the two tools below.

Sending a command — Publish a packet

Field Value
Topic /<device ID> — e.g. /EZS16A4106036
Payload The command to send — e.g. EZS_5U0$

Viewing responses — Listen to a topic

Field Value
Topic # (listen to everything)

💡 Responses reach HA only from HA-only devices. Most come up on the /feedback topic, and the firmware version (EZS_VER$) on /version/<device ID>.

💡 On a Hybrid (app + HA) device, replies to query commands go to the EasyRoll server, so they don't appear in HA. Check the version and status in the EasyRoll app under ⚙ → [Zone device settings] → [Device info]. The position is still reflected on the HA card and on /<device ID>/pos.


Command rules

Every command starts with EZS_

Commands sent from HA must always start with EZS_.

Common commands

Command Action
EZS_5U0$ / EZS_5D0$ / EZS_5S0$ Open / Close / Stop
EZS_AL050.000$ Move to a given % position — 000.000 = top (fully open) – 100.000 = bottom (fully closed). This is the opposite of the HA slider % (e.g. HA 70% open = EZS_AL030.000$)
EZS_POS$ Query current position — pct in the reply and the /<device ID>/pos value use the same scale (0 = top)
EZS_VER$ Query firmware version — reply topic /version/<device ID>
EZS_RSS$ Query Wi-Fi signal strength (useful for diagnosing connection issues)
EZS_5G1$ ~ EZS_5G4$ Move to saved positions 1–4
EZS_5g1$ ~ EZS_5g4$ Save the current position to 1–4
EZS_HADISCOVERY$ Re-register the device in HA (when entities have disappeared)
EZS_HADISCOVERY_OFF$ Remove the device's registration from HA
EZS_MQTTINFO$ Query the current connection info — on an HA-only device: mode:ha, broker address, port and username (password excluded)
EZS_HAJOG$ / EZS_HAJOG_OFF$ Show / hide the jog (short up/down) buttons on the HA card (hidden by default)
