@jcastrillo I meant the tasmota web ui, not the habitat UI
About the firmware upgrade, that is what you have to do. However, you are not supposed to use the main tasmota. Instead, you have to give it the link for makrus's fork of tasmota.
If you do it correctly the bottom of the tasmota web UI will say 
Hello there.... All set!!!!! working like expected,.... My issue was that the firmware was not updated to the version you mentioned.... One more question..... I have several Sonoff mini and Sonoff Basic installed using different firmwares from tasmota.... would you recommend me to upgrade the firmware of all these devices to the one from Markus??? See an example of Tasmota mini
Many Many Many thanks
@jcastrillo I don't recommend upgrading single-gang switches or plugs to Markus' tasmota, as this integration works better for single gang, non dimming switches and single plugs. Upgrading the tasmota doesn't effect @pgux integration, but it is a lot of work to upgrade and reset every device for little to no output
Understood thank you very much..... all set now....
Just a hint.... Most of my switches only have a light installed. This means that the second gang ( Switch 2) is not in use..... However, and due to the fact that the price difference between 1 gang and 2 gang devices are almost nothing, I recommend going for the 2 gangs device giving you the option to assign (program) the button to do something else in your home automation system.... Pretty useful
@jcastrillo I would reccomend you use the markus-tasmota for dual gang switches, even with only 1 light, so that you can detect changes on the second switch in hubitat and run automations when the state of switch two changes
Anybodyâs know if this works with TuyaMCU based devices? I have a couple Beca BHT-200 Wifi thermostats that I want to integrate into Hubitat. Since these are installed at mobile home where I donât want to over complicate the smarthome installation, I want to keep the HW footprint to a bare minimum. Currently there are some open source firmware for this devices, but they are primarily MQTT only and since I already have Hubitat installed at this location I would like to avoid installing another device (like a Raspi) just to integrate with an additional MQTT or Homebridge server.
This specific implementation of Tasmota Connect is interesting to me since I donât really want to have to install the forked firmware as I have no idea whether the TuyaMCU (and BecaThermostat component) is even supported in that modified firmware. So, using the standard Tasmota Firmware would be preferred.
Of course, if the forked firmware does include the TuyaMCU with BecaThermostat functionality, I may revert to that if necessary. But I am not really optimistic that it is supported.
@chris.martin Tasmota was designed to run on the esp8266 and cannot run on a different processor, such as the TuyaMCU. Currently, the only way that does not require additional purchases (if you are savvy, you can do it through home assistant on a pi or home assistant on a VM that runs on an always-on computer) is to download the Alexa app (you don't need an echo), connect tuya, create a bunch of simulated Alexa switches: SmartThings-Alexa/simulated-alexa-switch.groovy at master ¡ bjpierron/SmartThings-Alexa ¡ GitHub, and each automation you need yo do via hubitat, link it to a simulated alexa switch, and have the contact sensor of that switch trigger an alexa routine that changes the thermostat. Im pretty sure the only two ways to integrate the thermostat device directly are smartthings (hit or miss for each device, use hubconect to connect to hubitat, but hubconnect is being phased out by smartthings (stopping to support groovy)) or home assistant, where you create a virtual thermostat in hubitat, connect the thermostat to home assistant, connect the hubitat to home assistant, and create a home assistant rule to mirror the virtual to the real and vice versa
Sorry, I think you got something wrong. The Beca BHT-200 is an ESP8266 device. And Tuya MCU is a Tasmota component. See here: TuyaMCU - Tasmota
And for the record, there are some âWork in progressâ functions in TuyaMCU from Tasmota for this Beca WiFi Thermostat:
https://tasmota.github.io/docs/TuyaMCU/#becathermostat
So, I am hoping to be able to use a Tasmota firmware that includes these functions and utilize Hubitat to access it. The question is whether this port of Tasmota Connect will work with it or would it work with the forked Tasmota firmware and the other Tasmota Hubitat app. I think one issue with the other app is that the developer was kicked off of Hubitat because they are releasing a hub in competition with Hubitat. So, their Tasmota Hubitat implementation will probably eventually die off. And I donât want to be stuck with that modified firmware with no more support in Hubitat (assuming it would work in the first place.
I have had no luck installing the 5.1 firmware. I have installed the minimal version, then the gz version, but when I try to connect via serial port I get no response.
