Hi everyone,
I am looking to move a lot of my devices to ESPHome but I cannot find an official support page for the Eightree ET28.
It comes with Tasmota preinstalled.
Does anybody have reliable info and maybe had one setup?
Thanks
Alex
The config would be similar to Sonoff pow, esp32-c3 though.
Tasmota gives you correct pinout and you could extract your calibration values before flashing.
Iām not sure about 74x595 here, what is it used for?
Not sure what the 74x595 SRCLK is used for, unfortunately. But I can try to find information on it. I think it is for the relay, but not sure.
I have doubts itās used at all.
Relay is on GPIO06.
Flashed this config but the relay is not working. ESPHome reports the toggle and state but the hardware does nothing, so no clicking, no nothing. Any ideas?
# If factory.bin flashing fails and keeps restarting into tasmota safeboot, then flash OTA and then run these commands on ESPHome LXC:
# cd /root/config/
# curl -O https://esphome.io/files/ota/partitions_tasmota_migration_a.bin
# curl -O https://esphome.io/files/ota/partitions_esphome.bin
# /usr/local/bin/esphome upload --partition-table --file partitions_tasmota_migration_a.bin eightree_et28.yaml
# /usr/local/bin/esphome upload --partition-table --file partitions_esphome.bin eightree_et28.yaml

P.S.: Reverted to tasmota and it works there, so it is not a hardware failure.
Capture the actual template you use there (Iām not familiar with Tasmota).
Template {"NAME":"EIGHTREE","GPIO":[0,0,0,2720,2624,32,224,2656,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,320,7648],"FLAG":0,"BASE":1}
And it shows relay on gpio6. Weird.
Is the physical button doing anything on esphome ?
Nope. Also dead.
Anything suspicious on esphome logs?
Logs only show me turning on/off but no errors or anything else. Essentially pretending to work.
My bag is empty.
You could post boot log here to see if thereās something abnormal.

Nothing on logs..
Did you just copy this from the site you linked?
You need to extract the info from your device if you use pre-flashed firmware.
No, that was the command I run to flash the template via console.
This is when I re-run on device

Your device has evil inside.
Try with just switch and use variant instead of board.
This is getting quite desperateā¦

Unfortunately, does not seem to be the issue. Still not turning on the power.
I did test the physical button with my original config and that did register in ESPHome, so the physical button seems to āworkā. But for physical and digital button, the device just does not turn on.
Ok,
Get one foot long nail made of pure silver and hit it to the rightmost plug-hole of the device.
That might be an option, yes
Tried every AI I could find and so far I only get hallucination marathonsā¦
I donāt know if your relay is active low of high so it might be inverted. But it should change the state when you toggle the switch to ON and back OFF.
Does tasmota have any configuration for 74x595 ? Presence of that remains mystery to me.
