Hi,
Still yet to try ESPHome however want to go that way. I’m just wondering (looking at using on Sonoff Mini and Shelly 1):
When a physical switch is used with one of these devices, does ESPHome ‘push’ the status change to HA, or does HA periodically ‘pull’ the status from the ESPHome device? The reason I’m asking is because I want a really quick automation fire based on a physical switch linked to a Shelly 1/Sonoff Mini.
I’ve read that Tasmota can be configured to send an MQTT message to mosquitto on status change and was just wondering if ESPHome does anything similar.
I have some TP-Link HS100s and their status doesn’t seem to ‘push’ to HA, it looks like HA periodically ‘pulls’ the status. This means that if I wanted to use the on/off manual switch on the HS100 to trigger an automation, it takes several seconds for HA to see the status change and fire the automation.
Thanks!
