HA Not Discovering Newly Flashed Sonoff - WeMo

Third party integrations
1

I’m sure I missed a step…
using these instructions Instructions

But I:
1 Flashed the Sonoff Basic… using ESPEasy and the soffof basic bin … No problem
2. Opened its configuration and set the emulation to “Belkin WeMo”
3. Disconnected all the flashing stuff
4. Plugged the switch into an extension cord (To test)
5. Opened the switches web page… toggled the on off… it worked then closed the web page
6. Opened HA I didnt see the device… bounced HA Server
7. Got the indication that a new device had been discovered… Navigated to the notification tab attempted to integrate… bu the process ended with a dialog indication the process was aborted.
Alexa IS NOT integrated yet… but it is visible to Alexa…

***** EDIT ****
Just a thought… since I flashed the switches as WeMo devices… Do I need to use the WeMo component?

What did I miss

Have you turned on discovery in Tasmota? setoption19 i think you need to set

I flashed sonoff.bin./. should I have flashed sonoff-basic.bin from
GetHub Page
No not explicitly… but I did enter he console was that the right place?)… pasted the line “SetOption19 1” w/o the quotes… then I restart HA and the behavior was the same as below…

On restart I receive a notice by the bell which takes me here
Clicking “Check It Out” I get…

I would also like to know what exactly they “Tasmota activated setoption19” so mean and where exactly this option to activate is thank you in advance

I did it by bring up the device in its web window… using its ip address and clicking on console… then copy and paste setoption19 1 into the text field

Thanks a lot @BitViper, the tasmota sensor is now detected automatically or you have to change something

As of this morning I was still getting the behavior that I show above… HA finds it… but cannot integrate it… It “Aborts”… I haven’t a clue as to what or why.

But on every re-start I’ll get a “Notification” that something new has to be configured/integrated… and it fails

hello @BitViper I do not know myself anymore from her sonoffs that I have flashed and integrated earlier have all worked but no longer and just can not look through anymore.

what exactly did you flash espeasy or tasmota on it?
did you integrate that?
if my configuration is correct I know not synonymous

   - platform: mqtt
     name: "xxxx"
     state_topic: "stat / xxxx / RESULT"
     command_topic: "cmnd / xxxx / POWER"
     qos: 0
     payload_on: "ON"
     payload_off: "OFF"

xxxx = replace as your device name

I’ve been reading…And I think my problems stems from using the sonoff basic bin…

I found this in a post… someone was experiencing the same problem

Not the basic, not the classic, because they don’t include HA discovery.
