Issues seeing the tasmo admin page once clicked from the side panel within HA

[cubangt]

I just installed tasmo admin after flashing one of my sonoff basic switches.
I added it to the side panel as instructed and it shows up.
But clicking the link just opens a blank window with the heading TasmoAdmin at the top.

If i go directly to that 9541 port on my HA instance, it opens the web UI for it and i can configure and find my device and control it from there, BUT using the side bar link, it wont display anything within the HA interface.

Interesting is that when i click the link to view it from the sidebar, its trying to open this link

Now i do have and use duckdns, and i have already tried the SSL = true and currently SSL = false

I have also tried using the duckdns.org instead of the local IP and still not working.

What am i missing?

You can’t use the IP address in the iFrame if you are using duckdns https for the page.
try going to http://ip-address:8123 in your browser and then click on the side panel and it will work. You can’t use a http iframe with a https page

[cubangt]

That wont even load the HA page.
Displays:
This page isn’t working
192.168.0.107 didn’t send any data.
ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

Ever since i installed duckdns i can no longer access the HA pages with the local IP

[DavidFW1960 (David)]

do you have a base_url configured?

[cubangt]

I do not have any base_url configured in my /config/configuration.yaml

I have a host setup for my hue(which i know has nothing to do with this, just stating what configs have any url/ip)

and i have the url for the iframe panel which is pointing to the IP above.

You may not want to leave tasoadmin running. It generates a lot of mqtt traffic.

[cubangt]

Are you suggesting that i “stop” the add-on when im not using it?
Assuming i have my devices setup already in HA?

If i am able to setup my devices and control them within HA, will stopping the add on prevent controlling the devices?

[dwooner]

asmoadmin is really for configuring and maintaining the device firmware.

MQTT Broker will take care of the device control

[cubangt]

Then im a little lost. I flashed 1 sonoff basic today. Configured it and it shows up on my network and i can control it via the direct link to the config page.
If tasmoadmin is only for configuring the device, then there is no need to enable it on my HA sidebar. BUT how do i get it to show up as a device that i can add to my dashboard or node red so i can monitor and act upon it when triggered or needed?

[DavidFW1960 (David)]

you need an MQTT broker addon and to set the device for discovery (SetOption19 On in the console) Then they will be autodiscovered by HA and you can add to lovelace and control etc.

[cubangt]

to be clear, the setoption 19 statement is within the tasmoto admin/config page of the unit itself correct?

[DavidFW1960 (David)]

Yes correct

[cubangt]

perfect, ill make that change now and see what happens

thank you

[cubangt]

Guess there is more than that, i ran the command in the console, it displayed 2 lines that mention home assistant and the topic and so on.

I went ahead and restarted the device, and also HA and no new devices were detected.

[DavidFW1960 (David)]

Did you add the MQTT integration as well as the broker?

[cubangt]

I have these in my node red network section, but i thought i would see the device under the HA devices section? Is that not a true statement?

[cubangt]

Ive tried the steps found here
https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Home-Assistant/
And dont get or see the results like the example…

[DavidFW1960 (David)]

I cant help you with node red.

Have you set up a Mosquitto Broker and added the MQTT integration? You have not answered that!

[francisp (Francis)]

In the Tasmota webui, go to configuration, configure mqtt
Fill in all fields :

and click 'save"

Yes, exactly.
