[V4] Sonoff Tasmota

Development
1

Hello everyone,
you already know that the Sonoff integration service is already present in Gladys V4.

On the Tasmota wiki, all devices (Modules) supported are listed.

Today, only 3 of them are « really » managed:

  • sonoff basic
  • sonoff pow
  • sonoff s26
  • sonoff mini
  • sonoff 4CH
  • sonoff dual R2

I am therefore posting this message to ask members of the community who have devices flashed with Tasmota to help me complete the V4 service.

Tell me what your devices are :slight_smile:
We will determine together, case by case, how to proceed.

Thank you for your participation.

– EDIT –
Sonoff Tasmota becomes Tasmota.

Most Tasmota-compatible devices are supported by Gladys.
Please indicate if a device does not work correctly in Gladys.

I have a dual R2, I’ll keep you posted.

3

What information do you need?

4

If you can send me the MQTT messages sent by it during the different actions (switch 1 / switch 2).
You can use different MQTT client tools to capture these messages.
On Windows, from the Microsoft Store, I use MQTTBox to capture this kind of messages.

And if this device has other features, I am interested in knowing (energy meter, temperature… ???).

Edit: Is it properly flashed with Tasmota?

5

Okay, I’ll try to check that out this evening.
Yes, there is indeed the Tasmota software on it.

6

Can you explain how to configure MQTTBox?

Ok, based on what I’ve done:

  • MQTT Client Name: the client name (ex: Gladys)
  • MQTT Client id: leave as is
  • Protocol: mqtt or mqtts (if secure)
  • Host: the URL of your MQTT broker (ex: 192.168.1.40:1883)
  • Username: the login if needed
  • Password: the password if needed

I left everything else with the default values.

Once created, you will arrive on a page where you will need to add 2 subscribers:

  • stat/+/+
  • tele/+/+

If you put « +/+ », you will see messages from all devices.
If you want to filter on your device only, replace the first « + » with the « topic » of the device, the one you specified on the device configuration page.
For example:

  • stat/sonoff-plug/+
  • tele/sonoff-plug/+
8

To avoid polluting the entire topic, I’ll send this to you via private message.

Hi,
if you want to test, I have generated a docker image:

docker run -d \
      --restart=always \
      --privileged \
      --network=host \
      --name gladys-sonoff \
      -p 80:80 \
      -e NODE_ENV=production \
      -e SERVER_PORT=80 \
      -e TZ=Europe/Paris \
      -e SQLITE_FILE_PATH=/var/lib/gladysassistant/gladys-production.db \
      -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
      -v ${PWD}/gladysassistant:/var/lib/gladysassistant \
      -v /dev:/dev \
      atrovato/gladys-sonoff:4.0.0-beta-arm

Warning, the sonoff image is on the same port as the original Gladys.

I prefer not to test on the same SD card, I will reinstall on another one as soon as I can.

Hello @AlexTrovato!

I have a strip of RDB WIFI LEDs, model AL-LC01, running Tasmota, waiting to be used under Gladys. I’ve already done some digging and found this: https://nathan.chantrell.net/20170526/arilux-al-lc01-wi-fi-rgb-led-controller-with-mqtt-esp8266/! I’ll keep you informed as soon as I have some time to provide MQTT frames. How can I generate ones that will be most useful to you?

Thanks for your involvement!
Jean

Super @jean_bruder, I will start integrating it according to the information I find on the tasmota git repo, but I’m not sure if the « color » feature is in place on gladys, so testing will be quite difficult.

After that, as I said above, I’m open to all messages published on the stat/+/+ and tele/+/+ topics.

Hello @AlexTrovato,

I’m working on a native Sonoff module (and other eWeLink-compatible devices). If you want to take a look: Github :wink:

14

Super, but we’re talking about third-party, right?
I was thinking of renaming the sonoff module to tasmota…

15

Or rather

Sonoff with Tasmota

After developing a service without flashing the Sonoff, it’s also great.

16

Yes, I agree, but I’m a bit confused when I have to create an account on a website on the other side of the world to turn on the lamp next to me. But it’s much easier to set up…

So both services are welcome :wink:

17

Good idea, especially since this firmware can work with devices other than Sonoff.
On my side, my module will be eWeLink (unofficial).

18

Hello,
I did the dev to integrate the AL-LC01 LED strip, according to the information found on Tasmota.
Everything is in the Docker image :slight_smile:

19

@AlexTrovato: I must have missed an episode regarding the automatic version upgrade proposed by @pierre-gilles when we discussed the use of Tower, because I don’t see any new Sonoff hardware at my place? I’ll check that from this WE, I have a few days off :wink: Thanks to you anyway!

Hello, the latest Sonoff developments are not yet in the official beta offered by Pierre-Gilles.
This is a new test Docker image. If the feedback is good, the developments will be integrated into the official version.
