Turning on a switch, turns on ALL switches!

I have three smart plugs, tasmotized. I configured MQTT, applied a template, setoption19 1 to make it show up in HA.

Then I create three toggle buttons in my HA dashboard. Pressing one button causes all devices to go on/off in sync. Why is that?

See video

On the other hand, when I try to do the same with the TasmoAdmin Plug-in, they do work individually as expected.

Why is that? what am I doing wrong?

Let me paste the full info below from one module

Tasmota 8.1.0.2 by Theo Arends


and here the MQTT config for another switch:

MQTT Host 192.168.1.201
MQTT Port 1883
MQTT User adva
MQTT Client DVES_14B8B6
MQTT Topic tasmota
MQTT Group Topic tasmotas/cmnd/
MQTT Full Topic tasmota/cmnd/
MQTT Fallback Topic cmnd/DVES_14B8B6_fb/

I think when I first started on Tasmota the same thing happened to me.
I think my issue was that all my devices were listening to the same MQTT topics.

Could you change the MQTT topic to tasmota1 and tasmota2 on a couple of them and do your so19 on again and test?

Not sure if it helps or makes a difference, but I inverted the topic on all my tasmota devices:

Not sure why, but I guess it was like that on my first Tasmota device and maintained it like that eversince :stuck_out_tongue:

uhmm, I just checked mine, and it’s exactly like yours, (and I didn’t change it)… I guess it’s default

it works now. Thanks! sorry for being a lamer

Ah…yes, ofc they should all have their own topic…
I should have made my snapshot a little bigger :stuck_out_tongue:
