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

Ze_Pico · June 30, 2019, 1:38am

Clock 0 - 4 Schemes (Light effects) are available in Home Assistant.
You can Read inputs and Control outputs in “ BLYNK ” app using MQTT.

How to “Flash TASMOTA on Sonoff POW R2”
Based on the 2.5.2 Arduino ESP8266 core
Firmware binary for 4M flash devices only! - This binary will NOT work on 1M flash devices
sonoff-4m.bin
another way to flash the Sonoff POW R2 by sending the bin file using ESPTool.

(again) same results was accomplished before for Sonoff S31 using Node-Red

In “BLYNK” app. many buttons can be added as:

VoltageHigh & VoltageLow threshold value.
CurrentHigh & CurrentLow threshold value.
MaxPower, MaxPowerHold & MaxPowerWindow how to stay over MaxPower before power off.
PowerHigh & PowerLow to send an MQTT telemetry message.
EnergyReset1, EnergyReset2 & EnergyReset3 to set or reset Energy Values.

Congratulations I used the QR code to load the project. You could kindly share the integral code with the links, I am very grateful.

Ze_Pico · July 3, 2019, 8:11am

If you read my Post you will find all the codes on this page beginning from “HERE”.

Diego_La_Mattina · July 3, 2019, 8:12am

As you can see with a Nodemcu with FW Tasmota 6.5 and with my PZEM-004T V3, I was able to correctly visualize the electrical energy measurement. Now I would like to see what Blynk did like you did, but I wouldn’t know how to do it if you could help me. Thank you so much .

Ze_Pico · July 3, 2019, 8:19am

@Diego_La_Mattina
pls. read more you will find all you need in this page.

Diego_La_Mattina · July 3, 2019, 9:37am

Ok ok I’ll read it right and see if we understand something. But did you use Version 1 or Version 3 of the PZEM004T to make the energy meter? Thank you very much for answering me

Ze_Pico · July 6, 2019, 6:38pm

To RESET ENERGY in Tasmota

Open “Console Menu” then
Type:
EnergyReset1 0 - to reset Energy Today
EnergyReset2 0 - to reset Energy Yesterday
EnergyReset3 0 - to reset Energy Total & Total Start Time

Command	Parameters
EnergyReset1	`0..42500` = (§re)set Energy Today in Wh
EnergyReset2	`0..42500` = (§re)set Energy Yesterday in Wh
EnergyReset3	`0..42500000` = (§re)set Energy Total in Wh

Ze_Pico · July 21, 2019, 2:50am

Something IMPORTANT I need to add :

All libraries (Ver.) I used in my BLYNK scketchs are the same Libraries selected by TASMOTA

  #include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
  #include <ESP8266mDNS.h>
  #include <WiFiUdp.h>
  #include <ArduinoOTA.h>
  #include <PubSubClient.h>
  #include <ArduinoJson.h>

ArduinoJson-5.13.4 …( this is V5 and not V6 . if you are using V6 it will not work)
PubSubClient-EspEasy-2.7.12

ThomasN · July 24, 2019, 3:18pm

Very interesting subjects. I will try Tasmota.

Latest release for MQTT-Explorer

PeteKnight · July 25, 2019, 6:46am

Anyone who uses MQTT should be using the fantastic MQTT Explorer.
I just wish that there was something half as good for iOS.

Thanks @ThomasN for your great product.

Pete.

Luiggi · July 26, 2019, 7:05am

Tasmota is every where .

ThomasN · July 27, 2019, 10:40am

@PeteKnight
Thanks, but I am Thomas Nurmberg.

PeteKnight · July 27, 2019, 12:57pm

Ha Ha, apologies!
I’d received email alerts from Thomas Nordquist about the new release, after reporting a few bugs to him and suggesting some improvements.
When I saw this Github link, posted by someone with the name Thomas N, I put two and two together and came up with five!

Pete.
