I submitted this template
I have also mapped my TV remote to toggle it using an IR receiver I soldered onto a Sonoff 26 and put next to the TVs IR receiver. I use unused coloured buttons. The blue button for kettle, yellow for my lamp haha
To send TuyaSend4 102,0 via MQTT look into making a script and mapping to an entity button or automation.
For boiling the kettle before work, I have connected the kettle in HA to Google Home as a switch, then using assistant routines in the Google clock app, my work alarms will trigger the kettle. Makes it easy for me because I can change my alarm times depending on my variable shifts.
I had issues with the temperature mqtt sensor provided on the blackadder template for the Kogan kettle. Not sure if it’s due to updates to hass or maybe with tasmota? To get this working I used the following code, I thought I’d share in case anyone else runs into this.
Very new here but used the above code and had to change my state_topic to “tele/tasmota/RESULT” and now it shows the temperature My first project so far is a minor success.
dude you have no idea how long I have been trying to work on this stuff, your post made it so easy and wow helped me so much. I cannot express enough how helpful that all was!!!
I am only new to this stuff and this kettle was my first attempt at home automation and all the reading and videos didn’t really get me anywhere but this guide is a huge huge help!
It took me a while to figure everything out too, I just started using home assistant 1 month ago. The Tuya payload is definitely the more confusing part, and I cannot find much documentation about it. I’m glad it helped!
