Unable to import a tasmotized Sonoff into Home Assistant via ESPHome

Configuration
1

I am trying to import a Tasmotized sonoff basic r2 into Homeassistant (HA) via ESPHome. Using the ESPHome function built into HA.

I am using Migrating from Sonoff Tasmota — ESPHome I am not using Hassio and have tried to guess how to do it in my HA running in a Virtual box on a Win 10 PC using this: Home Assistant on Windows using VirtualBox GUIDE - YouTube

The device, livingroom light, appears in the HA ESPHome display:

Hay Bro Please format you message correctly

esphome:
name: livingroomlight
platform: ESP8266
board: esp01_1m

wifi:
ssid: “XXXX”
password: “XXXXXXXXXX”

api:

logger:

ota:

binary_sensor:

pin:
number: GPIO0

on_press:
switch.toggle: relay
switch:

platform: gpio
name: “Sonoff Basic Relay”
pin: GPIO12
id: relay
status_led:

we can see what you have done wrong.

As @myle says, your config is impossible to read.

However you seem to be trying to use the sonoff integration instead of esphome. Why?

4

Sorry for the format issue. I used the format button before submitting the issue, but it did not seem to change anything. Is there a better way to do it?

5

Yes. See How to help us help you - or How to ask a good question

6

The Sonoff had been migrated to Tasmota previously using Tasmotizer. I was following Migrating from Sonoff Tasmota — ESPHome to migrate the tasmotized Sonoff to ESPHome which is embedded in Homeassistant. Once there it is recognized by HA.

7

So all is ok now?

8

Not at all. I included the error messages which I hope can identify the problem.

9

The error I can see is related to the sonoff custom component which has no place when you are using esphome,

10

Are you saying that I should not be migrating a Tasmotized Sonoff into HA via ESPHome? If so, how should I do it?
I tried using a Sonoff to HA without Tasmotize. but it requires a HACS component not available via the Windows virtualbox installation.

11

I did not and would not say that.

I am saying that the errors I am seeing relate to the sonoff custom component, e.g.

Also this puzzles me

I assume you mean validation in esphome. But validation is only the first step. Have you actually flashed the esphome generated firmware to the sonoff?

And it is hard helping you when you still haven’t formatted your code.

12

This is how switched from tasmota to esphome.

I compiled the new bin files using esphome (do not try to flash, just download)
Open the webpage of the tasmota device, hit update firmware (and use the bin file previously compiled with esphome)

13

Yes, the plan was to upload the new bin from ESPhome by using the Tasmota upgrade as you have suggested here. The problem was that validation of the new code in ESPHome was never completed due to the errors list in the original post.

Thanks for your input.

14

I should have said that during validation errors occurred that prevented validation from completing.

15

I am a little confused regarding the error in “custom _components” ???
ESPhome has nothing to do with custom_components, and for sure not one called sonoff…

What happens when you delete the sonoff folder from custom _components ??

16

Also weird…i run Ha supervised under a virtual machine (HyperV on W10), and i do no have issues with running HACS…

17

What are the validation errors? You haven’t posted them.
