I’m having problems with devices being displayed in Tasmota even after watching many videos of how to do this but it ends with failure.
I am using the latest version of HA as of Jan 2025 on a HA Green. I am also new to HA so not used to this hands-on compared to Hubitat and Smartthings.
Steps I have taken in summary:
Setup a new user in HA just for MQTT.
Added the MQTT Broker. No Issues.
Added new user details to Sonoff MQTT configuration and topic name. Checked via ‘Console’ to see if it’s talking to the MQTT Broker, it’s connected and looks fine.
HA offers the MQTT as an integration to add. Added IP address, Username and Password.
Most videos show that after you install MQTT, HA automatically discovers the Tasmota device and offers you the Tasmota integration. I don’t get that and add the integration manually.
After the above is where I am and after spending a whole day on just this, HA seems hit and miss.
After trying countless variations with rebooting, restarting, and uninstalling, installing it would be nice for someone to look at the screenshots I have taken and maybe they might spot where things are falling over or offer a solution that’s not too complicated for someone new.
