Is this not the same globe ?

1419

Oh I see. Yiu confused me by saying that you were using the swicago firmware.

1420

Yes thanks! My config is the same as that though, and it doesn’t behave like it should.

Hi there bro

“Bugger” must be a other KIWI

1422

ChCh, and you?

New Plymouth

I’m part way through that too. Just waiting on more parts from Aliexpress

my one didnt work :frowning:
I think because I used an 8Mhz 3.3v arduino as its what I had laying aroudn, im waiting for a 5v one now

1426

Yeah I noticed his statement:
Note that the 3.3V/8MHz version is NOT directly compatible and logic level conversion is necessary. The 8 MHz is possibly to slow to keep up with SPI communication and data processing, although I didnt test this.
Thats my Im waiting for some new kit :wink:

I was in Bunnings today (Torquay, Vic) and they had the Arlec starter kit on clearance for $15.
2 x CCT LED smart lights and 2 x smart Plugs.
Each of those products separately are over $15.

I have a number of the Brilliant Smart Elite wall switches which I am still setting up. I have converted to Tasmota using Tuya-Convert. I am using Rules in Tasmota to handle the need for two and three way switching but this would work better if I could access them as buttons in Tasmota - has anyone managed to get that working?

Logs show that Tasmota knows if the relay has changed state via a button or remotely (src: line from logs) but I can’t see how to access this info either in a rule or via MQTT. I’d love to be able to use spare switches for other automations through HA/NodeRed but it’s easy to get caught in a loop - it should only send a MQTT command out if the state of the relay is changed locally.

A websend from another unit looks like
21:03:54 HTP: Command
21:03:54 SRC: WebCommand from 10.1.5.167
21:03:54 CMD: Group 0, Index 1, Command “POWER”, Data “0”
21:03:54 TYA: Send “55aa0006000501010001000d”
21:03:54 MQT: root/mobile/devices/b_units/b_S1/RESULT = {“POWER1”:“OFF”}
21:03:54 MQT: root/mobile/devices/b_units/b_S1/POWER1 = OFF (retained)
21:03:54 MQT: root/mobile/devices/b_units/b_S1/RESULT = {“TuyaReceived”:{“Data”:“55AA0107000501010001000F”,“Cmnd”:7,“CmndData”:“0101000100”,“DpId”:1,“DpIdType”:1,“DpIdData”:“00”}}

A local switching looks like
21:03:54 TYA: RX Relay-1 --> MCU State: Off Current State:On
21:03:54 SRC: Switch
21:03:54 MQT: root/mobile/devices/b_units/b_S1/RESULT = {“POWER1”:“OFF”}
21:03:54 MQT: root/mobile/devices/b_units/b_S1/POWER1 = OFF (retained)
21:03:54 RUL: POWER1#STATE performs “WebSend [10.1.5.167,usr:pwd] POWER1 0”

Other than that they work great and are Australian certified.

bumping this question up again - or is there anything similar with Australian approvals?

It’s a plain Wifi switch which can be retrofitted behind existing wall plate. My wife doesn’t like the Brilliant Smart Elite Glass style/colour, wants black coloured face plate.

1430

Isn’t the deta switch from bunnings suited to this application? I think it’s a special order only - it’s listed in this thread, but not easy to find quickly.

1431

Also half the price of the Brilliant model.

1432

I think in the Tuya devices with a secondary MCU (like this one) it isn’t possible to control the button separately from the relay. I think the button must talk to the relay via the secondary MCU, rather than via the ESP8266 module, so Tasmota can’t intervene and respond to a button press without activating the relay.

At least, I haven’t figured out how to do it yet. If anyone has got this working I’d be interested to hear about it.

You can do this with the 2-gang DETA wall switches though, as they don’t have a secondary MCU.

1433

I just realised this item doesn’t have a switch input, so same problem as a smart downlight, if you turn of power at the switch, you can’t control the lights.

1434

Thanks, but I can’t find any technical info on the Deta wifi switch. I did find a photo of it in this thread, but it’s not a good sign if there’s no datasheet or any other info or pricing available.

1435

Thanks - that makes sense but it would be enough to know what triggered the relay so I could only run the rule if manually triggered(and perhaps send via MQTT or a Rule). It seems like this should be possible as the Tasmota log displays the src. I might try a Tasmota forum perhaps?

1436

If anyone is considering getting the Brilliant Smart Elite glass wall switches be aware there seem to be two identically looking models - but one has an ESP8266 and takes Tasmota easily while the other has something different.
ESP8266 versions “seem” have model numbers ending in odd numbers
(20681/05 , 20683/05 , 20685/05 , 20687/05) Purple Box

while the non ESP8266 models “seem” to have model numbers ending in even numbers
(20682/05, 20684/05, 20686/05, 20688/05) Yellow box

I can’t be sure this is always true but I have had more than a dozen of the first flashed successfully using Tuya-convert and Tasmota but only one of the second type (and two hours of frustration before figuring it out)…

1437

That is definitely possible.

Do you have SetOption59 set to 1? That should mean an MQTT state message gets sent whenever the power state is changed, even if it is from a button press.

Also, just to check, do you have the fnId and dpId values set using the TuyaMCU command?
