Tuya TS0044 strange problem Topic is solved

[Dave21w]

Has anybody encountered this problem ?

Using zigbee2mqtt v1.26.0 with Domoticz beta 14382, initially I installed the 2022.1 stable but upgraded to the beta in case the issue I have had been fixed in an update but no change, so here the problem.

TS0044 pairs of OK with Z2M, it can be seen in the devices list however when you press any button while viewing the dashboard the screen flickers briefly as if it's about to show up then it dissapears, this goes for any button or any type of button press, single, double or hold. This although obviously not correct does not stop the buttons showing up in Domoticz, this has a different problem.

When you press a button (which automatically installs it as a Push On Button) the last seen time code in the widget changes on each press so it's obviously detected and it shows up in the Domoticz log however (and I'm only using blockly) no amount of trying to get the button to cause an action works, obviously I've tried ON as the command being sent and also used the text box option with "action_1_single" which is what is seen in the Domoticz log and also "1_single" which is what mqtt shows in its log.

What is even stranger is I have 2 seperate hardware setups with Domoticz, the software and hardware on each is identical (not in the same location) adding my other switch to my second install produces exactly the same result except when you press a button the bar along the top of the widget briefly changes colour showing the button press has definitely been detected, this doesn't happen on the other install.


UPDATE

So I didnt post the above straight away, I waited until I'd investigated as much as I could but i've now found a workaround, I think anyone using any other scripting option may not have an issue. I still have the strange issue in the last paragraph above where one widget shows an action but the other doesn't but the toggle action in blockly now works but only by adding an addition switch and an or option. I'll post my blockly finding in the correct sub index to see if someone else can replicate it before I list it in bugs and problems however I'd say as far as a zigbee issue there wasn't one other than the switch not appearing on the dashboard, I have posted this on the github zigbee support page but no answers yet.

UPDATE 2

The reason the widget didn't show an action had taken place was because I had the "Flash sensor when an update is received" switch turned off in settings but to be honest I didn't know that was what it was for, if it said "Flash widget when an update is received" I might have noticed it sooner.
