Hi folks!
I’m on a task to convert almost all my sonoffs and generic Tuya modules from tasmota to esphome as the latter has a centralized control, has support to ESP8266, ESP32 and Beken chips, with reuse of code and other things.
But I’m struggling to have a very nice characteristic of Tasmota: it maintains the lights state (on or off) on reboots / OTA upgrades (can be called “Warm Start”) and switch off lights after returning from a power failure (can be called “Cold Start”).
In other words:
- Reboot (pressing button on web page or sending an MQTT message to do so): light state doesn’t change (on stays on, off stays off, without any relay flick or light blink)
- After a power failure: light starts off
On Tasmota this behavior is controlled with PowerOnState 0 as can be found here.
It is a very nice behavior because one can leave the house on a power failure and, after power is back, all lights is off, even before HASS server is up and running.
I’ve tried (without any success):
-
restore_mode: RESTORE_DEFAULT_OFFonlightplatform. No avail. After a reboot if light is on it stays on. After a power on if lights were on, it turns on. -
using global variables, saving them on shutdown: I could not manage to compile (messed up in accessing light state (on or off) and global variable inside a lambda). I’ve tried a logic in
on_bootandon_shutdown, but my knowledge on YAML and ESPHome is limited. -
on the flick problem I’ve tried
early_pin_init: falseonesp8266:entry: it works only for switches, not lights. And it solves part of the problem (the relay flicking on reboot or OTA)
Here is my code:
packages:
device_base: !include device_base-mini.yaml
esp8266:
board: esp01_1m
globals:
- id: last_light_state
type: bool
restore_value: yes

Any clues?
