Sonoff switch stopped working

Configuration

Hi,

I have a Sonoff basic switch that was working fine with a lamp in drawing room but it suddenly stopped working, I did not tweak anything at all.

Here is the error in logs:

Error during setup of component sonoff

The configurations are as follows:

Last week Sonoff switch started giving some warning about switch being deprecated and to move to SwitchEntity (sorry…did not pay attention so cannot recall with precision).

Any pointers on how to get this switch to start working again?
Thanks!

PS: I am able to operate the Sonoff switch using the eWeLink mobile app without any trouble.

I’m really confused by this.

You clearly have a TLS error; what does that have to do with your Sonoff device?
Your Sonoff is configured to communicate over MQTT not HTTPS.
I assume that’s some cloud config service tied to Sonoff (not sure as I flashed all of my Sonoff with Tasmota)

Also, I can’t find a sonoff component in the docs. Where did you get that template for sonoff from?

@fanuch thanks and you are correct. I just sat on it for a day and restarted HA and Sonoff seems to be working again although I do not have a clue what went wrong (or why) the first time!

I got the Sonoff template on one of the threads in community discussion and it seemed to work for me.

Glad it’s working!

So I got the warning message again and here are the details:

Any clue what I need to do or change?
