You made it more difficult to help you because your log messages appear as one continuous paragraph of hard-to-read content. Can you try formatting the log messages so they appear on separate lines?

like this?

Yes, perfect!

I have made some progress maby usefull that i share it.
I made it work that i can interackt white the web browser to turn off 8 pins on my esp8266 i found a tutorial on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2IUIUnxjUY&t=859s but what i do not understand is how to configurate 8 switches whit mqtt i have this in my configuration.yaml

mqtt:
    broker: core-mosquitto
    username: Pepijn
    password: Trampe

switch:
    platform: mqtt
    name: "computer"
    command_topic: "cmnd/sonoff/power"
    state_topic: "stat/sonoff/POWER"
    qos: 1
    payload_on: "ON"
    payload_off: "OFF"
    retain: true

do i need to coppy this 7 times and choos ather names for each pin?
thanks for helping me

I deleted my 1st post because I didn’t read yours properly and my reply wasn’t relevant , it doesn’t mean your post will be deleted

9

ow oke thanks for your replay
but do you have a idea?

10

you need to give each switch its own name, example
switch:

  • platform: mqtt
    name: “Pool Light”
    command_topic: “commands/pool”
    payload_on: “Pool_Light”
    payload_off: “Pool_Light”
  • platform: mqtt
    name: “Spa Light”
    command_topic: “commands/pool”
    payload_on: “Spa_Light”
    payload_off: “Spa_Light”
11

oke but i run 8 switche/relay on 1 esp how can i adress every pin to his own switch in HA
or win de config,yaml file see that as 2 difrence switches

12

which esp are you using that has 8 outputs ?

13

esp8266 nodemcu and then i am using the tasmoda software and configurated to generic
so i can use gpio 1,2,4,5,12,13,15,16

14

Didn’t realise pins 1 and 2 could be configured as outputs, and be careful with pin 16, can cause boot problems. As for Tasmota, can’t help, never tried it

15

but when i configurate to sonoff 1 ch switch then wil it show up in

oke
thanks annyway :slight_smile:

16

Have you watched this, might help configure pins

17

There is a tasmota command to turn on ha discovery, then your config will be automatic.

18

oke i will look in to it thanks

This page covers it https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Home-Assistant
