D1 mini wall buttons

Configuration
1

hello,

I am trying making make wall button with momentary buttons. so I pick d1 mini (because I had spares ) but how to write button in home assistant config. It reads button state quite well but command topic is not working.

  • platform: mqtt
    name: “Stalo Button”
    command_topic: “cmnd/D1mini/power”
    state_topic: “stat/D1mini/POWER”
    qos: 1
    payload_on: “ON”
    payload_off: “OFF”
    retain: false
    value_template: “{{ value_json.DHT11.POWER }}”

I suggest ditching MQTT for the ESPhome API. Makes things VERY easy :slight_smile:

with auto-discovery makes things easy , but writing program its not appealing for that reason using tasmota

There is very little to program with ESPhome… You set up a switch using yaml code and that’s it. There is even a HassIO add-on with a wizard to guide you

oh thanks i didn’t know its in yaml. :smiley: how add-on is called ?

You add the repository to the HassIO add-ons. Its in the ESPhome instructions
