Finally I flashed my sonoff basic with Tasmota. But I can’t find any perfect guide for setting up in Home Assistant 
Can you guys help me out!!
try this:
Not sure what I’m missing. I can see the switch in Lovelace UI. (I added through entities). Tried turning on/off but it’s not working
I have a sonoff mini and have integrated into HA using ESPHOME. (addon for Hassio).
Once you have Tasmota on the Sonoff, use ESPHOME to compile new firmware and upload OTA.
Works like a charm. No need for MQTT, HA sees it as an integration.
My code

I am running HA on a Pi4 in Docker.

I’m keep getting this error in Sonoff Console.

an you show your config and broker settings? Are these just switches?
Here is what’s inside configuration
{
"logins": [],
"anonymous": false,
"customize": {
"active": false,
"folder": "mosquitto"
},
"certfile": "fullchain.pem",
"keyfile": "privkey.pem",
"require_certificate": false
}
Here is sonoff mqtt configuration
Here is configuration.yaml
switch:
- platform: mqtt
name: "Sonoff"
state_topic: "stat/sonoff/POWER"
command_topic: "cmnd/sonoff/POWER"
availability_topic: "tele/sonoff/LWT"
qos: 1
payload_on: "ON"
payload_off: "OFF"
payload_available: "Online"
payload_not_available: "Offline"
retain: false
OK you CANNOT use a user called Homeassistant
Create a new user in HA for MQTT and configure devices for that. Your broker config will work.
Change the client id back to default as well.
I’d also suggest removing all config from config and using discovery (SetOption19 On)
Not sure about what I’m missing.
Changed like this buddy.
mqtt:
broker: core-mosquitto
username: mqtt
password: 123456
switch:
- platform: mqtt
name: "Sonoff"
state_topic: "stat/sonoff/POWER"
command_topic: "cmnd/sonoff/POWER"
availability_topic: "tele/sonoff/LWT"
qos: 1
payload_on: "ON"
payload_off: "OFF"
payload_available: "Online"
payload_not_available: "Offline"
retain: false
hassio? if so delete everything mqtt: section and all from config also delete the switch and use discovery: SetOption19 On in Tasmota console.
SetOption19 On in Tasmota console returns this…

FYI, I removed the Entity from Lovelace UI and Configuration.yml is like this below now.
# Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)
default_config:
# Uncomment this if you are using SSL/TLS, running in Docker container, etc.

mqtt:

discovery_prefix: homeassistant
So that’s pretty old firmware. Which binary did you flash? Some of them don’t include discovery.
You don’t need ANY mqtt: section at all if you use hassio and the broker is on the same machine. You use the integration
I flashed Tasmota 6.4.0. And yes. Hassio and Broker running on same machina. i.e RaspberryPi Docker
yes but which binary specifically - they have minimal, etc like about 10 varieties… some don’t support discovery.
Can you update to a later version?
I flashed the latest tasmota.
Here is what I’m getting in the console

ok.
So configure>integrations… do you see a MQTT integration?
Do you see any switch entities?
Do you see anything in the log in Home Assistant for the Broker? The console log seems to indicate it’s not connecting to the broker
You created a Home Assistant User called mqtt right?
Mine is called MQTT-User
Yes. I see MQTT Mosquito Integration inside Configure -> Integrations
Nope. I don’t see any switch entities
This is inside log
Log Details (WARNING)
Fri Jan 31 2020 10:03:20 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
Config entry for mqtt not ready yet. Retrying in 5 seconds.
Yes. I created User named mqtt
I mean the log for the broker… Go to hassio side panel and click on MQTT - look in the log at the bottom. I assume you started the broker?
There should be no ‘config entry for mqtt’! Did you restart HA after you removed it from configuration.yaml?
Here is the log of MQTT Broker.

I configured it buddy.
Here is what I did.
Uninstalled MQTT Broker. Restarted Host Machine. Then Installed MQTT with discovery enabled.
Then went to configuration -> Integration.
Found MQTT Device. Added to Lovelace.
Thank you so much for your time and help.
Is it possible to enable my Google Home with Tasmota?
