[xlarge] Adding support for tasmota devices through MQTT This lightweight Homey device application adds Tasmota devices support through MQTT protocol. It uses Menno van Grinsven’s MQTT Client to communicate with an MQTT broker, so the client should be already installed and configured. The current version of the application supports on/off capability for single or multiple sockets devices, power monitoring, dim, light_temperature, light_hue, and light_saturation capabilities for single socket devices. Requirements Any MQTT Broker MQTT Client Have MQTT Topics as the following: %prefix%/%topic%/ (Tasmota default) Links Tasmota MQTT on Homey Store Tasmota MQTT on GitHub Test version of Tasmota MQTT Feedback / Bugs Any requests please post them in the Telegram topic on the Athom Community forum Please report issues at the issues section on Github otherwise in this topic.

Install an App, assign a user name and password. Enter an IP , user name and password , topic name on the device. Seems pretty easy to me… Though they are two different technologies MQTT is far more simple, reliable and robust , (when the Broker implemented properly). You might be lucky with your particular setup but I see many many issues with Zigbee with others Also Zigbee is not unified. An MQTT device can always communicate or control any another MQTT device or broker. Doesn’t matter which company has manufactured it. Try getting a Chinese Zigbee button to turn on a Philips Hue light. A lot more complicated.

[image] Russell_S: Also Zigbee is not unified. An MQTT device can always communicate or control any another MQTT device or broker. Doesn’t matter which company has manufactured it. MQTT is basically just a transportation protocol, but there’s nothing standardized about what it actually transports. Could be binary, could be JSON, could be whatever. On top of it you can build a communication infrastructure for devices to be able to talk to and/or control each other, but that’s completely implementation-specific. For example, a Tasmota device has no idea how to communicate with an ESPhome device, which has no idea how to communicate with a MySensors device, even though they all use MQTT as their transport protocol. Zigbee at least has a standardized cluster library that’s relatively well supported. Actually, it’s not. Both devices will likely support the On/Off cluster.

[image] robertklep: I don’t think there’s an inherent problem with the MQTT Broker app, and its developer is always busy with non-Homey related stuff I’ve given up. The developer isn’t answering his messages .. :roll_eyes: Ive only come to the assumption the problem is due to the Homey MQTT Broker as when I use a different broker it works fine. Well except for one small bug with the 3rd party broker I’m currently using in which it reads Wildcards twice for some reason. I open a window it thinks it opened twice.. What other theories do you think might be the possible cause. ? The MQTT client possibly ? One other observation I could make is the Homey MQTT Broker was written under the old MQTT 3 protocol. MQTT is now version 5 . Perhaps there are conflicts with the newer Tasmota firmware’s which all my devices are now on. Maybe those now require MQTT 5 .. ?

(See previous posts for context) As a customer of Athom i am very disappointed … I have a major technical problem with my Homey Pro… I’m fairly sure it is due to the MQTT broker… Using other MQTT brokers my system works fine. I bit the bullet and went and setup an Rasberrry Pi with HOOBS and installed Mosquito MQTT on it to get my house back to running properly again as the free online broker i was temporarily using did have some delays now and then after using it for awhile. … Using the Rasberry Pi with Mosquitomy Homey now runs perfect… Its actually more responsive than it use to be… When I turn on a light its near instant response , where as Homey had a slight lag. (before this issue) The developer of the MQTT broker APP appears to have jumped ship. The app has not been updated in years… The developer’s work on Github has gone to a trickle and he is not answering his messages at all… Athom can not help with my problem… They have nothing to do with the MQTT Broker app… They will just say contact the developer… A prime example of how the “whole” Athom business model is totally and utterly flawed… :face_with_raised_eyebrow: Bugger this crap…

Hi, Is it possible make Homey think that a Sonoff with Tasmota is a garage door/gate rather than an on/off switch? What I mean is that I would like Homey to refer to the switch as a gate so that instead of having it on or off it would be opened or closed, ideally it would also tell me if it is opening/closing. I have a door/window sensor connected to the Sonoff. It currently works well in Homekit (HAA soft) but I would like to add it to Homey. Then potentially present it in Homekit as well.

hello, I can’t add devices through this app I state that I have installed mqtt which I already use for sonoff, only that when I go to add through the app I click on tasmota and the loading continues to run without response depends on what?

Homey app MQTT Client installed?
