RGBW Led Light Controller with Tasmota, having troubles

Configuration
1

Hello everyone. I have one of these https://tasmota.github.io/docs/devices/MagicHome-with-ESP8285/
and I am trying to use with home assistant. At first i thought everything was okay, but then was messing with the white value and all the sudden i could not communicate anymore. I had to reflash tasmota. I was able to reproduce several times. I am using the following in my config. Any ideas? Everything seems to work fine if i am using the tasmota web interface.

  - platform: mqtt
    name: "yyyyyyyy"
    command_topic: "cmnd/yyyyyyyy/POWER"
    state_topic: "tele/yyyyyyyy/STATE"
    state_value_template: "{{value_json.POWER}}"
    availability_topic: "tele/yyyyyyyy/LWT"
    brightness_command_topic: "cmnd/yyyyyyyy/Dimmer"
    brightness_state_topic: "tele/yyyyyyyy/STATE"
    brightness_scale: 100
    on_command_type: "brightness"
    brightness_value_template: "{{value_json.Dimmer}}"
    white_value_state_topic: "tele/yyyyyyyy/STATE"
    white_value_command_topic: "cmnd/yyyyyyyy/White"
    white_value_scale: 100
    white_value_template: "{{ value_json.Channel[3] }}"
    rgb_command_topic: "cmnd/yyyyyyyy/Color2"
    rgb_state_topic: "tele/yyyyyyyy/STATE"
    rgb_value_template: "{{value_json.Color.split(',')[0:3]|join(',')}}"
    effect_command_topic: "cmnd/yyyyyyyy/Scheme"
    effect_state_topic: "tele/yyyyyyyy/STATE"
    effect_value_template: "{{value_json.Scheme}}"
    effect_list:
      - 0
      - 1
      - 2
      - 3
      - 4
    payload_on: "ON"
    payload_off: "OFF"
    payload_available: "Online"
    payload_not_available: "Offline"
    qos: 1
    retain: false

Why not use discovery ? In the tasmota console simply enter setoption19 1

I have tried that, and i never see the sensor. Not sure why

Had to add MQTT manually in the GUI, then discovery started working. That seems to have fixed the problem and the RGBW is all working.
Thanks!

Well… as It turns out, I grabbed a random AC adapter. It was only 500ma output, and white was drawing too much current. Used a different one and all is good.
