Domoticz

Hello, dear Community,

Version: Version 2024.7 (July 13th 2024)
Platform: RPi3B+, Debian 11.11
Plugin/Hardware: MQTT Client Gateway with LAN interface, other unrelated
Description:
I have set up a door sensor, based on a esp8266 Wemos, running the most recent version of Tasmota.

A Domoticz switch device is created from the Dummy hardware device, as usual.
The communication between the door sensor and Domoticz is done with MQTT and is reliable.


I want to use this door sensor in order to action an alarm system reachable via https.
I have discovered that the switch configured as "Door sensor" triggers the notifications on every status change, but does not trigger the "On action" or "Off action".

If I set the switch as an on/off standard switch (with a bulb as default icon) instead of a Sensor, when I change the status via the GUI the On and Off actions are successfully called, but when the trigger comes from MQTT, again no action is performed.

(Please note that I have tried both https:// and script:// in Actions, and neither method works)

Is this a defect, or a feature, is there a workaround ?
Thank you for your bright ideas

What is the MQTT message that the switch sends to Domoticz/in?
It should not contain command "udevice"

Hello @waltervl

The message sent by the Tasmota device (door sensor) is:
(door opened) (door closed)
What I did (and I may be wrong)

This is the esp8266 module I had purchased years ago: (https://www.banggood.com/Geekcreit-ESP8 ... 36275.html) (https://templates.blakadder.com/geekcreit_10A.html) I have uploaded the most recent version of Tasmota 14.5.0
and configured the module as shown: The module is designed in factory with: GPIO4=output relay , GPIO5=input sensor via optocoupler.
As for many esp8266, GPIO2 drives the status LED on board.

I have thus configured GPIO5 as Switch1 in Tasmota device configuration.
Any change on the door switch generates MQTT messages like but these messages are not addressed to the Domoticz MQTT queue.
So I have used the feature of Tasmota, linking the input contact to the output #1 (here the blue LED on GPIO2 declared as Relay1), and the LED status change is reported to domoticz/in
Now I understand why Domoticz would not trigger the actions, because it receives a reported status change of a relay. (and not a switchcmd)

I have just discovered your other reply on a similar topic viewtopic.php?t=40656
I will now study how to make scripts within Tasmota.

Thank you a lot for the suggestions.

Dear Walter,

I have typed the following commands on the Tasmota console: (as suggested here viewtopic.php?t=40656)
it is a success. Great !

Nice that it works now!
