I have a Feit Electric A19 800lm RGBCCT Bulb flashed with Tasmota installed and synced up to Home Assistant. When I try to turn it on from Home Assistant, the bulb will physically turn on but the Home Assistant status is not reflected properly; toggle flicks to on and then within a second goes to back off but the bulb stays on. In the Tasmota console, I can see the request from Home Assistant to turn the light on and Tasmota shows on.
Not sure what the issue is here or exactly how to troubleshoot it.
- Could it be that I have possible WiFi connection issues? (I’m doubtful that this is the issue since I can see the request from Home Assistant in the Tasmota console.)
- Is there something wrong with my configuration below?
- Is the light bulb not reporting it’s status after making the call?
I got my configuration template from here.
