Try and see if adding the device as a Generic Tasmota device works better.
I was wondering if the Sonoff devices (like the Sonoff S20 Smart Home Plug EU Type F) support two-way communication. So, does the controller know if the device is on or of?

I think that the original firmware does something similar, but I don't have any devices running that firmware anymore so can't confirm.
Let me know if you need instructions (you'll need an MQTT client).
Shall i create a request on github for it ?
Thanks @robertklep
The thing is, I don't like the TBK switch. It's bulky, expensive, unreliable (zwave) etc... Can Sonoff be an alternative to this? Or can it only do switching of the 230v circuit? I was considering the model with 2 buttons and hardwiring one for 230v switching and leaving the second button unwired, but when pushed execute a scene. I would hope this could be used as a trigger in Homey to fire a flow (making Homey an execute device).
Do you know if the new Itead devices Sonoff S26 en Sonoff POW R2 are compatible with your plugin?

Tasmota doesn't seem to explicitly support the S26 either, but I guess that if you configure it like an S20, it should work. The POW R2 _is_ supported by Tasmota, but in order to get it working with my app, you need to configure it like a regular POW (otherwise the app won't recognize the device, but I'll add that in a next release).
A small warning is to modify the TOPIC item on the device to unique names. Also had to restart your app several times, problably due to mistakes I made in the configuration of the devices. But the end result is great and works more reliable then the 433 devices.
I am probably missing something simple, but I cannot have the app find the device. Here are my steps:
- Upgraded the T1 2ch EU with Tasmoto firmware version 5.9.1.
- Set up MQTT broker on homey
- Configured Sonoff T1 device to connect to broker:
Broker is receiving messages:
Connect the app to the broker:
But then it just waits forever to find the switch:
Not sure if I am not understanding the process correctly...
Not sure why it's not picking up the device. Which MQTT broker are you using?
Can it be caused by the fact that I provide the app and the switch both with the same username/password? Our because the name of the switch is not the DVES_<something>? I changed it to something more reasonable.
You need to install the beta version of the app for proper T1 support, the stable version doesn't support it.
I'm starting to feel quite stupid at this point ;-/
The current (beta) version is 4.0.7.
Thanks for you patience. I hope this helps other people as well.
Today I flashed a Sonoff RF with the Tasmota 5.14.0 firmware.
Adding the device to homey as a Sonoff basic works 100% (type in Tasmota web interface set to basic and type in Homey set to basic).
But when I set the type in Tasmota to Sonoff RF and I try to add a Sonoff RF (Tasmota) device, the adding succeeds, but after adding I get the broken link saying: "Waiting for connection with device" resetting and re-adding the device does not help, neither does switching the Sonoff RF on/off with the physical switch.
Seems like a minor bug somewhere. When I add them as Sonoff Basics everything works fine.
Keep up the good work......
