How to use TASMOTA inside BLYNK and HOME ASSISTANT [Work in Progress]

Projects made with Blynk
,
1

I am using Tasmota for few months now.
I think Tasmota is the best STABLE ready made sketch for beginners and even for professionals .
Tasmota came from [ Theo Arends Sonoff MQTT OTA ] (arendst (Theo Arends) · GitHub)
With Tasmota you get Wifi manager, 16 Timers including “Sunrise and Sunset”, OTA ‘Over The Air’ firmware updates, Domoticz, Belkin Wemo, Hue Bridge, Serial , HTTP , MQTT, KNX and a lot more.

sensors support for NodeMCU and Wemos

I like Blynk and its GUI than Tasmota.
to run Blynk with Tasmota you need an MQTT server (external or local )
in my case I am running Mosquitto on a local server (Pi 3).
the idea is to receive the MQTT messages published by Tasmota and to translate it to Blynk

here is the MQTT messages sent from my Sonoff Pow R2 Module

18:18:37 MQT: tele/SNF-Washer/STATE = {"Time":"2019-02-19T18:18:37","Uptime":"0T04:19:26","Vcc":3.471,"SleepMode":"Dynamic","Sleep":50,"LoadAvg":19,"POWER":"ON","Wifi":{"AP":1,"SSId":"xxxx","BSSId":"48:F8:xxxxxxxx","Channel":10,"RSSI":94}}
18:18:37 MQT: tele/SNF-Washer/SENSOR = {"Time":"2019-02-19T18:18:37","ENERGY":{"TotalStartTime":"2019-02-18T19:22:29","Total":0.030,"Yesterday":0.021,"Today":0.009,"Period":0,"Power":18,"ApparentPower":27,"ReactivePower":20,"Factor":0.66,"Voltage":221,"Current":0.121}} (retained)

here is another MQTT example sent from my Generic Module ESP01 with sensors
[ PIR, DHT22 (AM2301),Sunset power2 relay.]

18:26:56 MQT: stat/KLD-Secondary/POWER1 = OFF (retained)
18:27:20 MQT: tele/KLD-Secondary/STATE = {"Time":"2019-02-19T18:27:20","Uptime":"0T04:47:37","Vcc":3.220,"SleepMode":"Dynamic","Sleep":50,"LoadAvg":19,"POWER1":"OFF","POWER2":"ON","Wifi":{"AP":1,"SSId":"xxxx","BSSId":"48:F8:xxxx","Channel":10,"RSSI":74}}
18:27:20 MQT: tele/KLD-Secondary/SENSOR = {"Time":"2019-02-19T18:27:20","Switch1":"OFF","AM2301":{"Temperature":18.3,"Humidity":68.4},"TempUnit":"C"} (retained)
18:27:50 MQT: tele/KLD-Secondary/STATE = {"Time":"2019-02-19T18:27:50","Uptime":"0T04:48:07","Vcc":3.219,"SleepMode":"Dynamic","Sleep":50,"LoadAvg":19,"POWER1":"OFF","POWER2":"ON","Wifi":{"AP":1,"SSId":"xxxx","BSSId":"48:F8:xxxx","Channel":10,"RSSI":80}}

My first attempt to decode MQTT messages was through Node-Red running on the same Pi
Hacking the new ITEAD Studio - Sonoff S31 - #18 by Ze_Pico

today I decided to made a template to help decoding MQTT messages inside Blynk sketch

First thing first you need to Backup the original firmware on your device
I will explain this in another Topic :

"How to Backup & Restore Official Firmware on any Espressif ESP8266 & ESP32 chips"

for now
Here is the “easiest way” for how to Flash a Sonoff Basic or any ESP8266 / ESP8285 boards with the .bin files.


Software needed :-
FlashEZ zip: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/releases
Tasmota releases : https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/releases
sonoff.bin: https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/releases/download/v6.4.1/sonoff.bin
Termite: https://www.compuphase.com/software_termite.htm 
Example Backlog Command for Termite to enter Tasmota Commands: 
Backlog SSID1 xxxxxx; Password1 yyyyyy; MqttHost brokerIP; MqttUser xxxxxxx; MqttPassword yyyyyyy; GPIO14 09; Hostname sonoff_name; MqttClient unique_sonoff_name; Topic sonoff_name; FriendlyName1 Sonoff-Name

see also Tasmota Commands page in the wiki section

Commands

to change your location after flashing the .bin file we go to the Console menu
and type the Commands

 Latitude   <value>   (set your latitude)
 Longitude  <value>   (set your longitude)

also for a correct Time, Timezone must be entered mine is 2

Timezone   <value>   (set your Timezone)
 
   `-13..13`  = set timezone
   `99`  = use timezone configured with  `TimeDST`  and  `TimeSTD`

 TimeSTD    <value>   
    &
 TimeDST    <value>   

 Set standard (STD) and daylight saving (DST) timezones
    `0`  = reset timezone parameters to firmware defaults
    `H`  = hemisphere ( `0`  = northern hemisphere /  `1`  = southern hemisphere)
    `W`  = week ( `0`  = last week of month,  `1..4`  = first .. fourth)
    `M`  = month ( `1..12` )
    `D`  = day of week ( `1..7`  = sunday saturday saturday
    `h`  = hour ( `0..23` )
    `T`  = timezone ( `-780..780` )(offset from UTC in  **MINUTES**  - 780min/60min=13hrs)

Another great feature if you don’t want to use Termite and Backlog
is that you can Start Wifi manager by pressing the main button (GPIO0) 4 short presses providing an Access Point with IP address 192.168.4.1
and you are in.

Button usage

The main button on a Sonoff-Tasmota flashed module provides the following functionalities:

  • 1 short press: Toggles the relay either directly or by sending a MQTT message like cmnd/sonoff/POWER1 ON . This will blink the LED twice and sends a MQTT status message like stat/sonoff/POWER1 ON . If cmnd/sonoff/ButtonRetain on has been used the MQTT message will also contain the MQTT retain flag.
  • 2 short presses: Toggles the relay 2 if available on the device like Sonoff Dual. This will blink the LED twice and sends a MQTT status message like stat/sonoff/POWER2 on .
  • 3 short presses: Start Wifi smartconfig allowing for SSID and Password configuration using an Android mobile phone with the ESP8266 SmartConfig app. The LED will blink during the config period. A single button press during this period will abort and restart sonoff.
  • 4 short presses: Start Wifi manager providing an Access Point with IP address 192.168.4.1 and a web server allowing the configuration of Wifi. The LED will blink during the config period. A single button press during this period will abort and restart sonoff.
  • 5 short presses: Start Wifi Protected Setup (WPS) allowing for SSID and Password configuration using the router’s WPS button or webpage. The LED will blink during the config period. A single button press during this period will abort and restart sonoff.
  • 6 short presses: Will restart the module
  • 7 short presses: Start OTA download of firmware. The green LED is lit during the update
  • Pressing the button for over forty seconds: Reset settings to defaults as defined in user_config.h and restarts the device

The button is connected to GPIO 0 (NodeMCU pin D3)

MQTT

MQTT is the recommended protocol for controlling your devices. If you have no previous knowledge of MQTT you can learn more from MQTT Overview or get a complete course in the MQTT Essentials article series. After you have a working MQTT broker you need to configure Tasmota to communicate with it.

Configure MQTT

If you flashed a precompiled .bin or didn’t enter MQTT info in user_config_override.h before compiling you need to configure MQTT on your device first.

Configure MQTT using WebUI

Go to Configuration -> Configure Other and make sure “MQTT Enable” box is checked.
Once MQTT is enabled you need to set it up using Configuration -> Configure MQTT .

53055478-24ea5d80-34a8-11e9-8f5e-17f4ef4c4fd3.png360×700

53048775-d3d16e00-3495-11e9-8917-70b56451ebeb.png360×700

For a basic setup you only need to set Host , User and Password but it is recommended to change Topic to avoid issues. Each device should have a unique Topic .

  • Host = your MQTT broker address or IP
  • Port = your MQTT broker port (default port is set to 1883)
  • Client = device’s unique identifier, do not change if not sure what it is for
  • User = username for authenticating on your MQTT broker
  • Password = password for authenticating on your MQTT broker
  • Topic = unique identifying topic for your device (e.g. hallswitch , kitchen-light ). %topic% in wiki references to this.
  • FullTopic = full topic definition, do not change if not sure what it is for

Configure MQTT using Backlog

Using a serial connection or the WebUI Console you can issue (or even better, paste a premade) Backlog command for quick and easy MQTT setup.

Backlog mqtthost <mqtt_broker_address>; mqttport <mqtt_broker_port>; mqttuser <username>; mqttpassword <password>; topic <device_topic>

After a reboot all necessary MQTT settings are configured. Don’t forget, you can use Backlog for all commands!

Another strong Tool you can find in Tasmota is

Rules

(more details can be found in Examples section)

Summary

Introduction

Rules expand the available functionality in Sonoff-Tasmota with user flexibility. It allows for different actions on different button, switch or power responses. Rules are stored in flash and therefore will survive a reboot. Rules act on triggers initiated by events like a System Boot or a Timer being activated.

Using rules many issues can be resolved.

Rules can be added directly from the Tasmota Console or By MQTT or by HTTP as any other Tasmota Command.

Sonoff-Tasmota Templates Wiki

Starting with version 6.4.1.16 Sonoff-Tasmota Modules can be extended by users using a Template . Version 6.4.1.17 introduced a menu to configure templates.

These are intended to be an easy way for users to create and share configurations for devices that are unsupported in Sonoff-Tasmota but have common characteristics with existing modules. We encourage everyone who creates a template for a new unknown device to add it to the database with an image of the device, links to the manufaturer or where it can be found and, of course, the template for it.

here is Tasmota Development version 6.4.1.19

almost daly development changelog can be found in “sonoff /_changelog.ino”

How to Install Platform IO and Build Tasmota

This is a great video ( Live Stream ~1:30 h ) for Platform IO on Windows 10 showing how you can reduce the size of your .bin file by removing sensors that you don’t actually use or are not available in your country.

Did anyone ever tried to use the Blynk protocol directly from Tasmota? So, I would like Tasmota to talk Blynk directly to the Blynk server. I read that it seems difficult, but I don’t know what the problem is.

14

for the moment I think MQTT is our solution unless the Blynk stuff can find a better solution

Today I think I knew how Peter Buga can control Sonoff / eWeLink smart devices.

Download and install Python 2.x or 3.x from https://www.python.org/downloads

Go to sonoff-debug.py
To run this just, cd to the location of the script and:

python sonoff-debug.py -u 'email or phone-number username' -p 'password' > devices.json

you will get a file named “devices.json”

this is one of my Sonoff POW R2 but the file contain all Sonoffs in my Home.
if you take a close look to the file you will find all the variables power, voltage, current, rssi, device id, and more…

at end I think https://community.home-assistant.io/u/peterbuga has done a great job
and here is what he wrote:
the data that you see/get, it’s exactly what I get from eWeLink API and nothing more.
I recently found out that sensor data is propagated over websocket messages too, not just basic requests (as it now), when I do find the time I’ll update the component to take advantage of this and hopefully an overall better output :crossed_fingers:
