hi @markus thanks so much for your help. i've gotten it all working except the last little part...in RM how do i access "Send Command" in the parent driver when creating a rule?

i've tried:

  • Run Custom Action > a number of the capabilities there but nothing that seems to match what i'm after

  • Send HTTP Post - but not sure what I would use as the URL, and also this doesn't really use the parent driver...

  • Device Refresh or Polling - no luck there either.

662

Glad it's working:)

With Custom Action I believe, I really never use RM. If you can't find it, ask again. :slight_smile:

663

ah :slight_smile: pls see above i edited my post...i tried Custom Action but the next selection is the Capability (e.g. Switch, Dimmer, Temperature, Humidity etc) which seems to be a dead-end when i try selecting them.

664

Choose Presence and Tasmota Parent devices will show.

Use two String parameters

Love this. exactly what I was looking for. Wondering if anyone is having intermittent slow reacting. Some times when I toggle the dashboard switches, the will work quickly and sometimes they give me a hour glass and is slow at switching. If I toggle from the switch itself with it's ip address, it doesn't hesitate so I am guessing it's the driver or maybe I am doing something wrong? Would MQTT (mosquitto) help? I am not sure what that does but I have a raspberry pi with mqtt on it and I can try. Thanks...

It is not the driver, but can be the hub, there are sometimes delays firing any type of event. I have none of those issues and same goes for many, but it is always a balance getting the hub just right. As far as this driver goes, it is basically as optimized as can be. There is still room for some improvement in that part, but not in the areas which handle time-critical operations.
Right now there is no use using MQTT since there is not yet support for that in the driver, but when there is, it will mostly be to get lights to turn on simultaneously in groups.

This thread is for the old legacy drivers, for the new ones, go here:

Hey was this with the Yagusmart switches? I got one after seeing it was Tuya, hoping it would tuya-convert, but having tried several times to convert, I can't get it to work. Tuya-convert won't connect and after several retries it stops.

Having looked at it, it looks like a different chipset from the likes of Sonoff so probably won't work.

@markus, Is there a switch to stop these information messages from appearing in the log? I don’t mind the on/off messages, but the Power monitoring ones don’t bring much value... I reduced the refresh to hourly to reduce the traffic, but every hour my ~30 Power Monitoring Plugs report in and fill-up the logs...

I still want the information to come in (use it in HubiGraph - works great!) but would prefer it it could avoid the logs...

Yes, turn off info logging in the slave device under preferences. Do note that these logs do not go to the database and don't affect performance when at the frequencies you talk about.

Got it. I had switched it off for the Parent... What is logged at the Parent level?

I’m not worried with performance, but more with filling up my “Past Logs” and not being able to find events as they are no longer available... :slight_smile:

672

For Info logging, not to much, in general you don't need the logs unless you're experiencing problems and want to look for something in particular.

This is definitely an issue, what I do when I need longer time-periods of logs is connect to the log websocket with a Python script and store the logs separately. I also know some people use Node-RED to do the same.

I have a Topgreener Dimmer that I flashed OTA with 8.1.0.2(tasmota)
(not markus version).
Well I had the dam thing working (ON/OFF) , couldn't get it to dim.
I still see the toggle commands but no response from the load.

Now its dead. (Works on the paddle only)
I have to try and get it working again and I will be back,

675

OK I got it working.
Topgreener Dimmer.
Flashed OTA 8.1.0.2(tasmota)
Tasmota Config
Module Type Tuya MCU (54)
GPIO13 Tuya Rx (108)
GPIO15 TUYA Tx (107)
SetOption34 3
Hubitat Config Device
Tasmota - Sonoff Basic
Dash Board Template Switch

Device does not work set any other way.
Dashboard Template set as Dimmer shows nothing on console

Can anyone help me with this?
677

You probably have to set either TuyaMCU 21,2 or TuyaMCU 21,3, see "Dimming dpId" here. You really should use my version of 8.3.1 if you want it to work as expected with HE.

678

OK
I am stumped.
I am not sure if I can even find your version and the 8.3.1.
I do have 8.3.1 in the dimmer but on the main page it doesn't have you name.
I already had the dimmer working via the Tasmota Toyu module page.
But no mater what how I set it up in HE I cant get it to work set up as a dimmer.
