Python Plugin: Tasmoticz - Autodiscovery of Tasmota Devices

[joba1]

Hi all,

I wanted to let you know I wrote an MQTT plugin that creates domoticz devices for tasmota relays and sensors.
There are no special requirements on Tasmota side.

More Info, like what is supported and how to install, can be found on Github: https://github.com/joba-1/Tasmoticz

Current status is:
* you can switch relays and see the relay status update
* some sensors I own are supported, more to come (with your help?)

What is missing is translation to other languages of some user visible texts I use during device creation. I'll open another topic here for this, because I'm not sure how to go about this.

Thanks to lwolf who inspired me for this with his Shelly MQTT plugin!

Good job, congrats!
Somebody may do an ESPHome plugin for Domoticz also.

For the Sonoff I accidentically flashed a limited firmware and wasn't able to get the autodiscovery to work in Domoticz. With your plugin it worked great.
Only when I wanted to add some temperature sensors to the Sonoff, I realized that that the limited firmware didn't support sensors. While figuring that out, I also saw in the table that autodiscovery was only part of the full firmware.
Anyway I left your plugin, it does a good job, also for the 6 temperature sensors. They were added immediately to Domoticz and all works well!

Hi all,

That is what I was looking for, a plugin with the same design that the one for shellys

I just installed this plugin, and configured it on my domoticz server. My probe is a soil probe based on tmp112 chip like this one :

On my configuration menu on the tasmota interface I can see both temp and moisture values :

But on domoticz, I only get a temperature new device :

Any idea on how I can get the moisture value too ?

Thanks a lot.

Your plugin looks very nice. Can you tell the difference between thisplugin and other plugin-ins whp do also MQTT-discovery?
Plug-ins like Shelly MQTT discovery or MQTT-discovery.

Hi again,

I changed the log level to debug and here is what I get :

Code: Select all

2020-03-15 18:14:33.622  (MQTT Tasmota) tasmota::findDevices: fullName: tasmota, Idxs [1]
2020-03-15 18:14:33.623  (MQTT Tasmota) tasmota::updateValue: Idx:1, Attr: LM75AD-Temperature, nValue: 0, sValue: 23.3

2020-03-15 18:19:33.606  (MQTT Tasmota) tasmota::findDevices: fullName: tasmota, Idxs [1]

So I see that the moisture is well sent to domoticz MQTT but does not seem to be managed by the plugin. Correct me if I am wrong.
Any other way to get it work in domoticz ?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Manu

Ok I found where to modify, in the tasmota.py file :

Code: Select all

    typeDb = {
        'Temperature':   {'Name': 'Temperature',      'Unit': '°C',   'DomoType': 'Temperature'},
        'Humidity':      {'Name': 'Feuchtigkeit',    'Unit': '%',    'DomoType': 'Humidity'},
        'Moisture':      {'Name': 'Moisture',        'Unit': '%',    'DomoType': 'Humidity'},
        'Pressure':      {'Name': 'Luftdruck',       'Unit': 'hPa',  'DomoType': 'Barometer'},
        'Illuminance':   {'Name': 'Helligkeit',      'Unit': 'lux',  'DomoType': 'Illumination'},
        'Distance':      {'Name': 'Abstand',         'Unit': 'mm ',  'DomoType': 'Distance'},
        'Total':         {'Name': 'Gesamt',          'Unit': 'kWh',  'DomoType': 'Custom'},
        'Yesterday':     {'Name': 'Gestern',         'Unit': 'kWh',  'DomoType': 'Custom'},
        'Today':         {'Name': 'Heute',           'Unit': 'kWh',  'DomoType': 'Custom'},
        'Power':         {'Name': 'Leistung',        'Unit': 'kW',   'DomoType': 'Usage'},
        'ApparentPower': {'Name': 'Scheinleistung',  'Unit': 'kW',   'DomoType': 'Usage'},
        'ReactivePower': {'Name': 'Blindleistung',   'Unit': 'kW',   'DomoType': 'Usage'},
        'Factor':        {'Name': 'Leistungsfaktor', 'Unit': 'W/VA', 'DomoType': 'Custom'},
        'Voltage':       {'Name': 'Spannung',        'Unit': 'V',    'DomoType': 'Voltage'},
        'Current':       {'Name': 'Strom',           'Unit': 'A',    'DomoType': 'Current (Single)'}
    }

Just added the moisture type, now it is handled !

Like someone else asked, I would like now to find out how to get only one device for temp+hum, currently here it is :

2020-03-15_192304.jpg (58.98 KiB) Viewed 6545 times

Where are the DomoType set and is there a type for Temp+hum somewhere ?

Thanks.

hi, if i want try to control blinds with tasmoticz i need to modify tasmota.py ?

in tasmota the topic and messages for blinds are:
topic:

Code: Select all

cmnd/tasmota_blind/shutterposition1

mesage:

Code: Select all

43

this will move shutter1 at 43%

cmnd/tasmota_blind/shutterposition3 11
this will move shutter3 at 11%


the stat commands are:

Code: Select all

stat/tasmota_blind/RESULT = {"Shutter1":{"Position":24,"Direction":0,"Target":32},"Shutter2":{"Position":51,"Direction":0,"Target":21},"Shutter3":{"Position":12,"Direction":0,"Target":41},"Shutter4":{"Position":11,"Direction":0,"Target":25}}

so looking at stat "Target" domoticz should update the percentage position of blind if they are moved in tasmota.
looking at blind1 on the example:
shutter1 is positioned at 24 and tasmota will set a position (target) 32

is it the tasmota.py the script that should be modified to take care of mananing blinds?

thanks

Hi all,

Thanks for this great plugin. it find all devices in my system.

Almost all..

have little trouble with adding PM2.5 sensor SDS011
it connected to my ESP8266 board with Tasmota sensor firmware. It read and send data well. But from Domoticz side can't read all data.

It what send my ESP8266 -

20:06:32 MQT: domoticz/in = {"idx":91,"nvalue":0,"svalue":"27.6","Battery":100,"RSSI":6}
20:06:32 MQT: domoticz/in = {"idx":92,"nvalue":0,"svalue":"55.5","Battery":100,"RSSI":6}

Domoticz get this data -

But create devices only for Temperature, 'Humidity, 'DewPoint, Pressure and nothing about PM2.5...

any idea how to add device for my PM2.5 sensor?

Python is a new technology in the last 5 years, Python provides to good and secure quality code security with providing the most helpful technology.
but java is one top technology so I suggest first java and C++.

'Python a new rechnology'? Nope - its been around since 1989 (if not earlier). Consistently ranked #2 in Github language stats and with demand growing due to its using in AI and ML, if I had to choose a language to consider now it would be Python

I try to use this plugin. It adds one switch but there must be more. In the log of domoticz I get the folowing.

I flashed my Shelly Dimmer 2 with Tasmota 9.3.1 and let Tasmoticz discover it.
It was discovered but only as switch and not as dimmer.
Is there anything in the Tasmota configuration I have possibly missed?

[DAVIZINHO]

Hello,
I dont know if this is a bug a feature or only a extrange user use.
Some of my tasmota comes offline because i cut off the power manually.
This devices apears in domoticz with they last state.
I cant change this status in domoticz, I have a system alive checker and with a scxript I try to put the virtual switch in OFF state. it not works
If i push the switch in domoticz to change the status off any offline device, this not works.
This is ok?

[jake]

I put Tasmoticz aside in favor of the integrated MQTT with audo discovery hardware within domoticz.

[AHeuvelman]

Can someone tell me how to integrate a Shelly plus i4 with tasmota installed in Domoticz,
I have a MQTT server running and Tasmoticz.
I can see him in the MQTT broker but not in domoticz. Tasmoticz works well for my other parts with MQTT.
what have i to do?
