Auto discovery tasmota sonoff

Configuration
21

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I am having this similar issue right now.

I found a pack of Teckin SB50 Bulbs in my parents garage so I flashed them all with Tasmota.

I applied the template through the web interface, and setup the MQTT settings.

Using MQTT Explorer (Windows) I can see them, and can publish to them, but no integration shows in in my HA Dashboard.

I have tried the console SetOption19 1, but no difference.

What is odd is I have a WLED device I made, and it shows up under wled>deviceName.

The Tasmota bulbs I flashed are not starting under a Tasmota tree.

I see 3 topics (I think they are called, I am very new to MQTT) tele , cmnd , stat

and then I finally see the homeassistant topic.

I have been struggling with this for 2 days now so any help is appreciated.

You only have 1 topic under homeassistant, so that is probably your wled.
My guess: you flashed tasmota-lite.bin, which does not support auto discovery. Upgrade to tasmota. bin and it will work.

The topic under homeassistant is not wled and I used the standard tasmota.bin. I found this guide which shows what I am seeing ( Setting up the Sonoff Tasmota MQTT Switch ), but I dont understand why autodiscovery does not work. I also do not know how to get the devices to publish to tasmota/discovery like the tasomota integration asks for.

Open the tasmota console, enter

followed by

setoption19 1

What response do you get in the console ?
