Help with my sonoff's disappearing from HA

Configuration
1

Hi
Could anyone point me in the right direction. For some reason my internet setting were all lost last night and I didn’t take a copy of all of the port forwarding etc. I have managed to get most things working again, but for some reason my lights (Sonoff with Tasmota) no longer show in HA. They all work fine in TasmoAdmin, but they don’t show in my dev tools - states - entities? I thought that it might be because of my MQTT broker so I have restated this, I don’t remember having to set up any port forwarding for this so I haven’t. I am getting this error message from the log;

Can anyone please let me know what I have missed?

Thanks

  • Is everything in your local network? HA, Sonoffs, Mqtt broker?
  • Which broker do you use? have you set up everything right? usernames and passwords on the broker and the clients?
  • Does your HA connect to the broker ok?
  • What do your sonoffs say in their console? do they connect?

Hi Krash,

  • Yes, everything is on the same network, well the Sonoffs and HA is. I’m using Mosquitto MQTT, through HA and I set it up ages ago.
  • I’ve not changed anything in HA, it was the internet that changed all of the settings, so it all worked before fine.
  • I am not sure how to check this, I use Hass.io and it all looks fine in there apart from the error message above.
  • I can connect to the sonoff’s through TasmoAdmin and their ip addresses, just not through HA

There was a recent change in mqtt broker add-ons and they now require client_ids and passwords for every client to operate (maybe you had something on auto-update). Are you using the embedded broker or some hassio addon like mosquitto or this one? If it’s one of the addons, go to their admin page inside hassio → add-ons, scroll down and check their logs.

Within the tasmota web-ui, click on console and check if they are connecting to the broker. You should see something similar upon restart:

00:00:00 Project sonoff Sonoff Stairs Up Version 6.5.0(release-sonoff)-2_3_0
00:00:00 WIF: Connecting to AP1 XXXX in mode 11N as sonoff_something-1234...
00:00:03 WIF: Connected
00:00:03 HTP: Web server active on sonoff_something-1234 with IP address xx.xx.xx.xx
00:00:04 MQT: Attempting connection...
00:00:04 MQT: Connected

Lastly, im guessing you have done a couple of HA restarts in the meanwhile right?

Hi Krash,

Sorry for the delay, something very weird is going on wit the internet here in NZ. We have been having all sorts of problems at work & last night my HA wouldn’t connect again and now its fine without me touching anything.
I am using the Mosquitto addon within hass.io, that is where the “client id not available” log error at the top is from.
This is a section of the console from the sonoff device;

Hi,

Can anyone point me in the right direction here? I can’t get my sonoff’s with tasmota to show in HA, this is the log from my Mosquitto MQTT log.
