Tasmota Plug - Auto Discovery - Sensor Vs Switch Or Light

As far as I can tell, HA should treat my plug (configured as a button as shown in my OP) with the following functionality as described in Buttons and Switches

  • " By default a button toggles the corresponding power state. Every time the button gets pressed a relay or light changes its Power state (ON or OFF)."

Interesting thing is that TasmoAdmin shows my plugs with a toggle!

Again, somehow my old installation of HA (before it became corrupt) made the entities available in such a way that I could toggle them which makes it seem that this is possible, I just haven’t been able to figure it out yet…

@DavidFW1960, also notable is that I picked up a few Sonoff 31 Lite plugs and flashed them with tasmota ver 12.2.0 (also configured as a Button (see: Sonoff S31 Lite)) and they didn’t AutoDiscover - they can’t be found in MQTT entities (nor searching for them under entities). Interesting though, SetOption19 1 didn’t allow them to be AutoDiscovered under MQTT (unlike my older Gosund WP6 Plugs which showed up pretty much immediately under MQTT. At this point, my new Sonoff S31 Lite plugs aren’t even available in HA (so that would be a new/independent additional issue f/ my OP)
