Make sure that the module configuration in the Tasmota firmware matches the driver that you’re using to add the device to Homey.
i checked the module. it is basic (1) and the driver selected is tasmota basic. Uploading: 20190530_172603 (1).jpg…

still not finding the device. console after restart:

It looks like you’re using a non-standard MQTT topic setting. The “full topic” setting should be the default value: %prefix%/%topic%/
The “topic” setting can be chosen to your liking. For example, I have this configuration for my Sonoff RF Bridge:
its working like a charm
appreciated. it was the non-standard MQTT topic setting issue. much appreciated
regards
I am reading this topic but it doesn’t solve my problem although it looks I am running into the same kind of issue:
When I try to install the sonoff basic(tosmota) from the equipment ( apparaat toevoegen) i get a screen asking for the MQTT broker hostname/IP
Her i fill the homey IP in ( in my case 192.268.20.11)
the next is MQTTbroker port (1883) pre-filled in
and the I am asked to fille in the MQTT borker username and password (optional).
I don’t fille in these as they are optional
pressing “next step” results in the message
"“MQTT connectie kon niet worden gemaakt”
I have a sonoff basic flashed with tamota 12.3.1

Does anybody know what I am doing wrong?
They are optional if you configured the broker to allow unauthenticated connections. Have you?
I did not chek the line: authenticatie van gebruikers aanzetten ( Wordt niet aangeraden)
should I do that?
I assume you mean “uitzetten”.
Whether you should do that or not is a personal preference. But if you don’t want to disable it, you need to create a user/password combination and configure your device to use it.
OK, I just checked the checkbok in the broker.
Now I seem to come a bit further: but I now come to a white screen with a turning Wheel
It is asking to (soft) reboot the sonoff ,which I did. and then it says
“no new equipment found”
So you’re using the Sonoff app? That app is deprecated (won’t be developed any further) and only works with Tasmota versions 6 and lower.
You’re going to have better luck with the Tasmota MQTT app.
Ok, This is actually working.!
Thank you so much. This took me three days of experimenting!
