I have a Sonoff programmed (own code) to interact with HA. The Sonoff is connected to a wall switch.
There is only one thing I cannot seem to solve. Whenever I toggle the wall switch the Sonoff will turn off. Upon powering the Sonoff up again, HA will send the last known state to the Sonoff.
How do I prevent this? Upon reconnecting the state for the switch in HA should always be “ON”. The Sonoff already sends a “ON” command upon powering up, but the “OFF” command send by HA gets prioritized. I probably could solve it in my code by ignoring the first message received from the broker, but that’s not the way I would like to do it.
This is my MQTT configuration.
