So would you say that the Tasmota app is currently the best solution? Are there any differences in the functionality after adding the devices through one or the other? I would generally not mind flashing the Sonoff with an older version of Tasmota if I would gain some functionality. Are there any differences in how they map homey capabilities to Homekit characteristics (as you wrote it)? I am asking because today I added a SNZB-02 sonoff zigbee sensor to Homey and I immediately got readings from all sensors in both Homey and Homekit.
Both the Tasmota and my Sonoff app only deal with WiFi devices, the Zigbee app is separate.
I stopped developing my Sonoff app ages ago and cannot guarantee that if you install an older version of Tasmota it will start working. The Tasmota app is more recent, and (I think) in active development, so it would be the better solution. However, I donât know how well it supports additional sensors, so youâd have to try.
Thank you for your reply!
Hello,
I have buy a SonOff 4CH Pro R3, I flashed it with Tasmota 6.7.1
I added it to Homey with your SonOff Homey app and it works.
I encured 2 problems:
-The first is when Homey restart, the connexion is lost with the SonOff. Iâve got the error message âclient has already endedâ and itâs impossible to solve it. However MQTT messages appear on the broker when i activate a relay, but no interraction between Homey and the SonOff.
-The second is after the first problem, if i want to add another time the SonOff device (after delete it) it impossible. Got message âNo new device foundâ. The solution is to remove the app before reinstall it and add SonOff device.
Have you a solution for me?
Thanks
Are you running the MQTT Broker app on Homey? If so, whatâs probably happening is that the Sonoff app is starting up more quickly than the MQTT Broker app, or that the broker is denying connections until itâs fully started. You can try fixing that by turning on the âPower userâ experiment (in Homeyâs mobile app, Settings, Experiments) so you can restart the Sonoff app 5 minutes or so after a reboot.
Yes I run the broker on Homey. Power user is already check. Restart the app does not fix the problem.
I saw your post above, I will try with the Tasmota app.
Hello folks
In the near future, will it be possible to use the one shown on Kickstarter
SONOFF NSPanel Smart Scene Wall Switch
to make it compatible with Homey?
thank you in advance

Hi,
I have an problem and maybe someone can help me:
i managed to install tasmota on my sonoff basic.
i changed the mqtt settings as follows:
Host ()
127.0.0.1
Port (1883)
1883
Client (DVES_B049F9)
DVES_%06X
User (DVES_USER)
admin
Password
admin
Topic = %topic% (tasmota_B049F9)
tasmota_veranda
Full Topic (%prefix%/%topic%/)
%prefix%/%topic%/
I also installed MQTT Broker on Homey.
And started the broker
When i want to add the device using the app on homey and fill in the following:
Host ()
127.0.0.1
Port (1883)
1883
User (DVES_USER)
admin
Password
admin
I then get the screen â(soft) Please reboot the deviceâ
And after that an timed out error.
What am i doing wrong?
Use this app To be honest, the app is deprecated (I will update the first post of this thread to make that more obvious) and only works with older (< 8 or even < 7) Tasmota versions.
Thereâs a dedicated Tasmota app that might work better for you: Tasmota MQTT App for Homey | Homey
hey my eye fell on the
SONOFF NSPanel, any idea if this is possible to add in the homey app?
Not in my app, no.
Can you explain why it canât be added?
See the first post of this thread.
Aah im sorry didnt read that. But you do have an pro 2023 now dont you?
Yes I do, but this app has been deprecated for years now already
Hi. Any chance that someone take the lead on a version that would work with Homey Pro 2023 ?
Hi, so no regular SONOFF app in Homey then?
damn, wanted to buy the iFan to control my ceiling fanâŚ
Hi
Surprizing that such a âcommonâ hardware brand isnât supported⌠for example, Home Assistant supports this through Ewelink that brings lots of additional support above sonoff⌠would be a gret addition / solution for those that are âstuckâ with Homey Pro lack of support of Sonoff devices that cannot be easily replacedâŚ
