Hi, my name is Wolfgang sitting in Cologne/Germany and I’ve just started with HA. Looking for a cloud-free solution I ended with HA and so far I did my first steps successful using Gosund SP1, Arilux LC-06 and Aoycocr bulbs.
Now I’m adding more and more bulbs (up to 12) and HA is autogrouping my bulbs and I don’t know where it comes from.
There are two bulbs in my dining room I grouped together with the “GroupTopic di-room” command in Tasmota. This works fine.
Now adding two additional bulbs in my living room and gave them a “GroupTopic li-room-2” in tasmota.
If I change one device, either dining or living, the other reacts as well. Any idea where this comes from?
Sorry, for maybe a noob question, but I couldn’t find anything about this.
it’s beyond HA, it does not know anything about Tasmota. They are probably on the same MQTT topic (though I’m not very familiar with Tasmota, just a guess).
what exactly did you do and what exactly happened then?
Adding a bulb I power it, figure out the IP and then give it a name where it blongs to in tasmota: i.e. ´led-living-spot-left_1´ and the second one ´led-living-spot-left_2´. They occure in MQTT as ´homeassistant/light/XXXXXX_LI_1´ where XXXXXX are the last 6 digits from the MAC address.
The entity in HA is then ´light.led-living-spot-left_1´.
Autogroup means: if i switch or change color on ´light.led-dining-rear_1´ the bulbs in the living room change also.
The have different topics in MQTT in original:
´homeassistant/light/XXXXXX_LI_1/config´— in the living room
´homeassistant/light/led-esszimmer_0/config´ — in the dining room
As I wrote changing i.e. the color on one device changes the color on all four devices.
