Feit wifi bulbs acting as a group in HA

Configuration
1

I have two Feit bulbs that have had their f/w flashed 8.3.1(tasmota) and all working 100% when accessed via their IP address and act independently (as expected). Install Mosquito on my Pi and added MQTT integration and both bulbs appeared immediately as devices and entities with a status. Despite unique IDs, device name and friendly name they appear to act as one pair in HA. ie on/off/colour/brightness selected on one happens to both bulbs.

unique_id: 3DCB45_LI_1
device:
  identifiers:
    - 3DCB45

other

unique_id: B9C3E4_LI_1
device:
  identifiers:
    - B9C3E4

Any ideas / pointers from the collective wisdom hugely appreciated.

Did you ake sure that you use different topics inside Tasmotas MQTT configuration?

Hi @fedot
I have
Topic = %topic% (tasmota_B9C3E4)

tasmota

Full Topic (%prefix%/%topic%/)

%prefix%/%topic%/

and

Topic = %topic% (tasmota_3DCB45)

tasmota

Full Topic (%prefix%/%topic%/)

%prefix%/%topic%/

Try setting the topic to something like tasmota1 and tasmota2 on the other device

Thank you !!
Removed devices from HA and restarted to discover the devices again.
100% perfect.

Now to play with them!

I’d recommend watching DrZzzs Videos on how to set up Tasmota with Home Assistant, really helped me out.
Basically set a different name and topic for each device, setoption19 1 in console. But I’d go a little deeper into learning that stuff :slight_smile:
