Python plugin: Sonoff-Tasmota + Other devices supporting MQTT Discovery

[emontnemery]

When i disable the plugin and a few seconds later switch it back on i get on error on one of them and can't resolve that.

I pushed a commit which should remove this error (it's the same as the first error you reported).
By the way, did you see any side effect when this error was shown such as switch not working?
(It should have been harmless except for annoying error message in the log).

Logging with Verbose is not working for this because it stops running
No my switches are not working any more

[emontnemery]

Run Git Pull and disable and enable the plugin and now i get this error

Sorry, please update again, it should be fixed now!

No problem. That is part of testing If you need more testing let me know.

Tnx for the quick fix and plugin now running without errors

For your other question, there was no side effect with the error but pure cosmetic. Logging is otherwise full with errors so this is much better.

My Domoticz is using my 3.6.4 Python installation:

Code: Select all

2018-02-04 15:17:10.318 Domoticz V3.8875 (c)2012-2018 GizMoCuz 

I have some time to look at this now, and I prepared a debug build which should hopefully helps narrow down why the onConnect callback does not work.
Is PM working for you now in the Domoticz forum? Otherwise, how about discussing on github?

Pm's are working now, so just throw me a message

Hi,

This sounds very interesting, do you have a little more documentation on the MQTT formating, Topic, payload, etc?

I am currently using a custom nodered flow for controlling my lightify lighting, I tried to implement auto creation of the lights but it proved problematic in matching using the names to match them up, and I couldn't find a way to push a MAC into the device via JSON. If I could reformat my MQTT messages to meet your requirements it could be a good fit.

Thanks,
Wob

Update

Look like the latest Domoticz Beta V3.8968 solve the problem
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday i update the plugin with Git Pull. Plug-in was working fine from 5-2-2018.

In the morning a get errors in te log of Domoticz.

When i restart the system and Domoticz i get the error also when ik finsched with rebooting.

Hi Reconos, did you ever get it working?

[Mazzokun]

Hi all, I have Domoticz Version: 3.9389 and Tasmota Program Version 5.13.1.
Domoticz auto discover the sonoff devices and I can control them with domoticz or Hardware button.
But if I stop domoticz service, manually change relais status and then re-enable domoticz, the status of the relais are not updated anymore.
I think I have done something dirty but I can't understand what... I post the screen of my config..
Thanks for help

[mvveelen]

I have the same settings, and no devices are found.

Setup: RPi3, latest beta Domoticz, done the setoption19 1 thingy, MQTT up and running.

Sonoff setup:
MQTT Host 192.168.0.124
MQTT Port 1883
MQTT Client & Fallback Topic DVES_AF76EE
MQTT User
MQTT Topic sonoff35 (every Sonoff has it's own Topic)
MQTT Group Topic sonoffs
MQTT Full Topic cmnd/sonoff35/

Full topic: %prefix%/%topic%/


Domoticz setup:
MQTT Server address:localhost
Port: 1883
Username:
Password:
Discovery topic: sonoffs
Ignored device topics (comma separated): tasmota/sonoff

What is wrong with this setup?

Edit:

I also have this error message in the log:

2018-06-03 11:30:25.656 (MQTT discovery) Warning: could not load plugin options '' as JSON object

What could this mean ? How can I solve this ?

[RoRoo]

I've been fiddling around with this plugin this evening to try to get it to work..
A bit of a noob with MQTT and Tasmoda but it seems to work since the Domoticz logs show the status change of the sonoff

But when I flip the switch (so to speak) in Domoticz, the switch goes off but the status doesn't change to off in Domoticz.

[RoRoo]

Just a little update
After I used the "classic" method to attach my device (MQTT with lan attached and then dummy switch) and changed the idx in the sonoff. Both switches started to be in sync.

removed the classic setup. and the status was no longer in sync.

So I decided to remove the Discovery plugin and work with the "classic" method.

[mvveelen]

After using the MQTT discovery for a while, I suddenly have some of the Sonoff devices being discovered as a "Dimmer" instead of the usual ON/OFF Switches. I'm using the latest Domoticz and have the latest (6.1.1) Tasmota. Removing the devices doesn't help. After restarting Domoticz, I have to set all dimmers to ON/OFF switches and it's driving me crazy.

What is causing this? Not all of the Sonoff's have this issue. I compared the settings and they are identical, except for the IP addresses and the topics (and name of course). I hope someone can give me some pointers on how to fix this.

Just to confirm, this is now fully solved by https://github.com/emontnemery/domoticz ... y/issues/8 ?

This should definitely work..

I want to add some new flashed Sonoff devices to Domoticz but i can't get them in to Domoticz. Did this before and was always working fine and still working nice with the existing ones.

Setup Tasmota on the device the same way as the older ones with only different topic name.
In Tasmota i added setoption19 1 in console so it sets to ON.
Sonoff-Tasmota 6.4.1 version

Debug log and it is seeing the name i gave it Ender 3 Printer, so there is some communication. But when i search in Domoticz devices tab or list there is nothing. Tried the Allow for 5 minutes option just te be sure but makes no difference.

Any tips?

Update
Flashed Tasmota 6.1.1 what I am using for the older S20 i am using already and now the new S20 is discovered fine.

So problem is with newer version of Tasmota.

One thing i noticed
With version v6.1.1 the log shows

Code: Select all

00:00:07 MQT: homeassistant/switch/sonoff230_3/config =  (retained)

With version v6.4.1 the log shows

Code: Select all

2019-01-14 15:07:01.764 (MQTT Discovery) onMQTTPublish: homeassistant/switch/375D17_RL_4/config:b''

Topic is different. With the new versions it shows a part of the MAC address even when i filled the setting exactly the same as with v6.1.1

[HenriM]

It will be fixed with next update of the MQTT Disovery plugin. See also https://github.com/emontnemery/domoticz ... /issues/12
