I am new to Home Assistant, and i was ableto successfully adding to Tasmoto switches to my Home Assistant server.
However when i turn on one switch it turns on the other one, and vice versa when i turn off any of them both are turned off.
I am very new to the Home Assistant, and appreciate any help.
Hi there…How did you add the tasmota switches? Is it through tasmota integration or mqtt integration or by manual configuration.

I have installed as per this article
so i installed
Mosquitto MQTT Broker
MQTT Server
Then the Tasmota (beta)
configured the plugs with the home assistant server ip / port and the mqtt username and password.

Make sure each plug has an unique MQTT name.

I have the MQTT Configuration as follows:
MQTT parameters
Host (IP ADDRESS)
Port (1883)
Client (DVES_%06X)
User (username)
Password
Topic = %topic% (tasmota_A41B34)
Full Topic (%prefix%/%topic%/)
You have to make sure that the mqtt topic of each device is different. You would be seeing a page like below in tasmota mqtt config page.
You have make sure that the tab with topic is different of all the lights. Its this topic that HA uses to identify the device. If these are same the device will work together.
