Howto add multiple sonoff touch switches flashed with Tasmota?

Configuration
1

Hi, I just flashed a Sonoff Touch switch with Tasmota firmware (IP: 192.168.1.80 and client name is sonoff-corr) , and configured it in Home Assistant succesfully…

in configuration.yaml added…

mqtt:
  - broker: 192.168.1.2
    port: 1883
    client_id: sonoff-corr
    username: vpomax
    password: 12345

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

But now I flashed a second Sonoff Touch switch (IP 192.168.1.81 and client name is sonoff-ing)… howto add it to Home Assistant?

On your second tasmota sonoff, under MQTT settings change the topic to something other than what the first sonoffs topic is ( for example, “sonoffNEW” ) , unless of course you want everything to switch on and off at the same time.

Then add some yaml

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

  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Sonoff New"
    state_topic: "stat/sonoffNEW/POWER"
    command_topic: "cmnd/sonoffNEW/power"
    qos: 1
    payload_on: "ON"
    payload_off: "OFF"
    retain: true

The client name is only used by the MQTT server. It only needs to be unique.

Yep, no need to change client ID from what it defaults to as it creates a unique name automatically.

Many thanks… problem solved :slight_smile:

No matter what I do or what order when I add the second switch in configuration.yaml the first switch does not show up on the Home Assistant

Both Sonoffs work perfectly but I cannot get more than ONE to show up in Hassio at the same time and I have a shit load more I want to flash but I cannot show more than ONE at a time. This is really a PITA.

The second switch always removes the first switch

I got it… i had to add those little minus signs and it worked

Well done :+1:

The dashes are fundamental to adding multiples of anything within yaml.

my configuration looks like this, but i still do not have the second switch on my home page.
and it is already connected to mqtt server (both of them).
