Sonoff 4ch (Tasmota) connection problems

Devices
1

I have Homey PRO and would like to control heating manifold using 2 Sonoff 4CH (Tasmota) relays.

I’ve problem with adding Sonoff 4CH devices to Homey. Sonoff app is installed. MQTT broker is installed and configured (Broker is running). Adding device I get error “MQTT connection unsuccessful” . Could anybody please help me with that?

I don’t see an “MQTT Host” value there.

3

MQTT host is Sonoff 4ch IP, right? But nothing changed and same error message.

4

No, it’s the IP of the MQTT broker.

5

Where do I get it?

6

If you run the broker on Homey, it’s Homey’s IP address.

7

Done. I add screenshot from console. Seems that is not working?

Correct. I believe “rc 5” means “incorrect credentials”, so check if your MQTT username and password are correct on both sides.

9

I double checked and credentials are same on both sides (Tasmota configuration and MQTT broker side - user and pass are correct). I re-inserted credentails and MQTT broker pop-up message says “No setting has been changed”. What else I can do?

10

Are you allowing unencrypted connections to the broker?

11

Yes, “also allow unsecure connections” is enabled.

Console show it’s working now:

Still I get this message when adding device

Can you show a screenshot of the MQTT configuration page in Tasmota?

14

Here it is

Your topic is wrong, it should contain a (unique) name for the device (without spaces, slashes or percent signs). Something like “sonoff-4ch”.

“Full Topic” is correct.

Thank you for your help. Now I managed to add the device. Can you alse advise which is best way to set up virtual thermostat. I have Xiaomi temperature sensor and these are already added to Homey.

Thank you very much.

17

Sorry, I don’t use virtual thermostat myself so can’t really help there :woozy_face:

18

Ok. Can you recommend which is best way to control floor heating manifold using sonoff 4ch and Xiaomi thermostat (both are Homey compatiple)?

19

No, I don’t automate the heating of my home :stuck_out_tongue: Perhaps there are other topics on this forum that may be of help.

I also ae having problems adding a 4 ch device to. I added Tasmota devices before but this one is a pain in the …
