Love how you edit your videos down so they are really tight but still have all the information you need. I can't stand the TH-camrs who ramble on for ages and all you want is one piece of information buried in the waffle somewhere!
Thank you!!!
That's exactly why I do it this way. I figure you want to get through it fast and decide if the stuff you need is there. If it is, you can rewind, pause, rewatch and get what you came for.
Thanks for that feed back! I'll keep doing it!
Good point, I agree. I also like how all the needed links are labeled and posted in the video description.
3 years later,
You are still the Best one for Tasmota 👍👍
OMG soooooo entertaining. No "blah-blah" no wasted time, no "droning" Thank you so much.
In 10 minutes you presented 10 times more information than most 20 minute videos manage to do. Thanks!
haha!
Good! That's the hope.
I've slowed it down a little lately. I had some feedback that I was going too fast.
Glad to help!
I’m not complaining - you can always pause, google, review.
I did not found nowhere else how to pull temp and humidity separately with this json. 1 day searching. You helped Enormously.
Awesome! Glad to help!
For anyone else who comes here and struggles because this info is out of date, I have the following advice. 1) Use Tasmotizer to send the latest tasmota-sensor.bin file 2) use Tasmotizer "Send Config" button to send WiFi info. You can then connect and setup the module-info or use the same Send Config button to setup MQQT etc.
Hello and thanks so much for this...spend a late evening trying to firgure all of the errors out that I was getting, finally realizing that the instructions were out of date...learned a bunch that way, but still frustrating in the end...until I found your comment here! Thanks so much!!
Great video, thanks. Regarding the PIR switch, there is just one thing you forgot to mention, which could have saved me some time debugging: you need to do "SwitchMode2 1" in Tasmota console. Otherwise automation won't work since it sends "TOGGLE" signal by default, instead of "ON/OFF".
Oops. Don't know how I missed that. Thanks for bringing it up so others don't get hung up by it.
I lost so much time looking for the answer, thank you!!!
i just tried this and it still toggles the relay hmmmm
thank you, it helped
thank you for your info!
the affiliate links are cool and all but you need a patreon. You are worth it.
Bill Mears Thanks man. I’ll get working on that. I appreciate the feedback. Makes me feel good.
I have realized from watching your videos if you are going to build an item for a single sensor its cheaper to use a sonoff with a cheap extension cord from the dollar store.
Definately going to use a sonoff to turn on my power supply for my led lights and then control them from the sonoff.
Great videos. thanks for you help.
Awesome! That would be a good use for it. I've been using Tasmota to control RGB LEDs for my Maker Faire display. Works great.
It’s funny but I miss such tutorial videos.. Live streams are great but this also had its own charm.
This is by far the best home automation youtube channel I have come across. You've helped my home become a lot smarter. Keep up the great work!
Wow!
Thanks!
I was searching for an easy solution to connect sensors to Home Assistant. Aaaaand here it is! Thank you so much for this entertaining tutorial. Like always!
same here, i had been wondering if i could connect a sht21 to a nodemcu and now it looks like i can
Great Video DrZzs. I have learnt a great deal from your Videos and forums. I have just setup my first D1 Mini with DHT11 as the Temp and Humidity Sensor. I have it connected to MQTT and the Console is Reading the Temp and Humidity no problem
The problem is getting HA to read the Results of Temp and Humidity. They both show up in States as "unknown"
sensor.humidity unknown unit_of_measurement: %
friendly_name: Humidity
sensor.temperature unknown unit_of_measurement: °C
friendly_name: Temperature
The Console shows it is reading fine
09:00:34 MQT: tele/sonoff/SENSOR = {"Time":"2019-05-17T09:00:34","DHT11":{"Temperature":13.0,"Humidity":50.0},"TempUnit":"C"}
09:02:00 MQT: tele/sonoff/UPTIME = {"Time":"2019-05-17T09:02:00","Uptime":"0T00:26:40"}
What is the Project Name? as per your video, as I think this could be the problem
Any idea to help me link to HA?
Thanks in Advance :)
what do you have in your configuration.yaml? My guess is the topic for yours is different from my example.
Hi DrZzs. I have resolved this issue. I had a naming convention that worked however I changed naming (MQTT Topic) for all devices and now they are all working just fine, including the D1 Mini with Temp and Humidity. Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it greatly. Hope to watch one of your Streams soon :)
At this point I've Tasmotized several other ESP-based devices, including ESP8266E/F from Electrodragon, a NodeMCU and several othe Node clones. While I'm perfectly capable of simply producing custom code, Tasmota is the easy button for many project. As always, thanks for the excellent content.
Thanks!
I've got your 3-way switch method wired up in my maker faire Wall of Sonoffness. I should finally get around to giving it the Zzs treatment soon! You've had 5000 views on that video! Awesome.
Have you found any of those other esp boards to be especially useful or unique in any good ways?
Very cool that you mentioned Theo Arends. I fully agree that he has done an amazing job.
And ty for yet another great video!
(Liked & subscribed)
Thanks!
I hope to meet that guy someday.
Thanks! Been trying to get PIR sensors hardwired to my Pi's GPIO pins going. When I setup the automation in HA, it would turn the lights on when motion detected but then also turn them back off when motion was detected again no matter what I did. Your example is perfect, the "turn the lights off after X" should be another automation that is triggered by the first automation, not one automation with a delay built in like I was doing it. Excellent as always, will be trying this when I get home today... Thanks!
Sweet!
Mine's working like a charm. I'm going to have to add PIR's to some of my Zzonoffs now too!
Just got it setup...works perfect. Using these pre-made PIR sensors sired direct to GPIO www.ebay.com/itm/2x-Wired-PIR-Motion-Detector-Infrared-Intrusion-Alarm-Sensor-for-Security-System/332326172160?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
@Joe Blow That's what I had to do too. Just crazy to me, but it works!
Awesome as usual. Can't wait to try it out as soon as I get off the beach here in Florida for spring break.
Oh man. Totally jealous. At least we're having a nice early spring here in UT.
Let me know how it goes!
DrZzs - It would be really cool to see a D1 Mini replace a old security system. Basically how to confiure the D1 to be the 8 zones a old panel would have. Most houses built in the last 20 years have contact sensors on the doors and windows. One D1 could interface them all to smarthings... for about $5.. really cool
Hey DrZzs. Maybe in a future video you can talk about using sleep mode in Tasmota to prevent the esp8266 from heating the DHT11 and causing the temp to rise :)
Thanks so much!! I've been trying to get the temp to show up in HA for weeks now... you pointed out the syntax with DHT11 pointed me in the right place added my SI7021 sensor and bam! it worked... Awesome Videos!
sweet!!
Awesome video ! Didnt know that you can control those sensors out of the box with Tasmota! Will try this ! Keep up the good work ! Greetings from Uruguay!
Uruguay Cool!
Another pin in my map!
Just what I was thinking; I've loaded Tasmota on a fair few Sonoffs, but never looked any further than turning a light on and off. The flexibility of Tasmota with a NodeMCU and little to no coding is stunning. Thanks for the information Dr Zzs!
you're welcome!
So true! Tasmota is amazingly capable. I'm still finding new things it can do. Theo is a First Class Genius!
thanks - had to adjust json in my case to am2302 which it now works like a charm!
Thanks a lot for this Video. Watched it a few times now, rewinded, watched the steps i needed again. Go on like this! That's cool!
Excellent!
Things have gotten better with Tasmota too. I'd suggest just grabbing the sonoff-sensor.bin file and flashing that with the ESPeasy flasher.
github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/releases
github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/releases
Nice Job, thanks. The reason you need to install the driver is because the various ESP8266 modules have different USB to TTL chips onboard. Common ones are 230X. FTDI, and CH340 each of which requires a driver. Once you install them all, it will largely be transparent from that point forward. Likely though, you will see a different comm port for each. Also, the PIR IS actually a motion sensor. If it were not, any infrared source would trigger the output. The PIR relies on a differential measurement between two sensors and that funky segmented lens to break up the light pattern. When an infrared source is stationary, it remains constant between the two differential receivers, when something is moving, the difference is what triggers the output. i probably did not explain that well, but there are a number of videos out there that do a good job including Bigclive who devoted a video to using PIRs.
Awesome! Thanks!
I'll take that NodeMCU question off the things I don't know list now!
And thanks for the knowledge on the PIR. I was thinking of it kinda like a line-break sensor, and that's not really what it is at all. I'll have to check out Bigclive's video.
My "Things I don't know list" has turned into something akin to an encyclopedia... Still smaller than my wife's "Things for anthony to do" list... though so that's good...
hahaha!
You're awesome!
Thanks for all the time and effort you've put into making this video.
I close on a new house in early April. I already have a few sonoff basics controlling lights, and a low voltage sonoff controlling my garage door in the house we are leaving. Once we get into the new house, my home automation will be kicked into overdrive! I don't know if anyone has requested yet, but can you do a video using sonoff/Tasmota as an infrared remote control for Tv/surround sound? I look forward to your videos on Mondays. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Actually that sensor kit does have an IR transmitter and receiver!
I peeked briefly at the tasmota settings to make it work. I'll put it on the list and get to it eventually. In the mean time, if you want to try it before I get to it, here's the Tasmota Console commands:
github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Commands#irremote
I don't know much (yet) about exactly how to setup IR, but I'm sure those commands are the key.
Brilliant Vid. Very informative. Relative noob to home automation and after a frustrating and abortive attempt at OpenHab moved to HA, watched your videos to get set up and all is working fine. Testing a NodeMcu with temp/Hum and a rcwl-0516 sensor using your setup above with Tasmota.
Keep up the great work -- Thanks
sweet!
welcome to Home Assistant!
Brilliant, thank you! That’s saved me so much time. And fantastic delivery... all the facts in an instant.... with a touch of good humour. Off to click a few of your links
Thanks! I try to be accurate and concise. More to come!
Another good video Justin! Now lets put all of this together and make a sensor node on the cheap.
Thanks Andy!
I want to fill all 11 of those D1 GPIO pins. Make a real Frankensensor!
Waw, really good video and well documented. Congratulations !
Thanks!
Thank you very much! You help me to solve the problem with constantly on/off/on/off/on/off ))) You are the best!
Thank you for another deluxe class!!! Keep doing videos like this...
Thanks!
With great feedback like this, I sure will keep doing them!
Awesome video and thanks for sharing, greetings from Hel, Poland :)
Thanks!
Cool!
I need a map to mark all the places people watch from. That'd be cool.
Awesome work! Thank you DrZzs
Thanks!
If you're planning to do this check out the sonoff-sensors.bin version of tasmota. It's all ready to use a bunch of different sensors.
github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/releases
Great video. However note that the D1 mini is not "always in programming mode" like you suggested. The USB serial converter has circuitry in it that will reset the chip and pull GPIO0 down just before the program is sent, placing it in programming mode for you.
excellent! Thanks for clarifying.
I learned something new too!
Excellent... thanks. You put me hours ahead of trying to interpret the application from the WiKi. LZHenry
Another great video Justin! keep up the great work buddy
Thanks!
will do!
This is amazing! I have a nodemcu and a LED strip here, but I did not know how to connect them together. Now I know (and I know much more) Great! (And I will leave a message for Theo and buy more parts through your links ofcourse :-))))
Awesome!
Thanks!
Theo's going to get bombarded with Thank You notes today! Love it!
Funny, Theo appears to live about 15km from here :-) And thank you for all the good things you share with us!
Martijn _ Awesome! Go say hi for me!
Hi at first sorry about my English. :) I am little bit confused because, when i go back to your video $5 Sonoff + $2 parts = Best Smart Switch EVER! in this project you were using resistor and 33nf tantalum capacitor to proper function of touch button. It this current video you mention and show sonoff basic with humidity sensor (DHT11) and touch button is connect to bat without capacitor an resistor. My question is, this another way ho to connect touch button to sonoff without resistor a capacitor ? Thanks for all what you do. Have a nice day Mirek.
This video real came in a good time. I just have a di 1 mini and i m playing with it. Just have to put a VM and install home assistant Tu test those trips.
Thanks you.
Great!
Let me know how it goes!
I cannot wrap my head around these state topics, command topics!! MQTT in general is kicking my butt. Where does this information come from? Thanks for any and all information
It does take some getting used to. I was quite confused about it for a long time. Here's my best shot at a quick explanation:
MQTT is like devices texting each other. The "topics" are like the device phone numbers. the "payload" is the actual message. The "Broker" is kinda like an old time phone operator passing the messages along.
For example, a smart light can have a topic for the "state" that could be "stat/sonoff/power" and the payload could be On or Off. That light communicates with the Broker and says, this is my state topic "stat/sonoff/power" so if anyone ask for me tell them I'm on or off based on the last message I sent you. When the state of the switch changes from on to off it "Publishes" a new message using that topic "stat/sonoff/power" with payload Off. Now if Home Assistant wants to know the state of that light it can "Subscribe" by telling the Broker; if anyone publishes a message to the topic "stat/sonoff/power" please let me know the payload so I can show Mando the right color Icon in his UI.
For Command topics the switch tells the broker, if anyone wants me to change my state I'll be listening at this topic: cmnd/sonoff/power. And when you press the button in Home Assistant it sends a message to the broker using the topic cmnd/sonoff/power, with the payload On or Off. The broker passes that message on to the light and the light goes from Off to On.
The exact "topic" can be almost anything as long as the devices that want to communicate with each other subscribe and publish to the exact same topic.
For other sensors the payloads can be things other than on/off. They can be number values like temperature or % humidity, or they can just be strings of text like a sentence or a couple words that you want to display on a screen.
Hope that helps. :)
I never knew you could do that!
Pretty cool right?!
I only had time to do those few sensors. I'll be adding that motion sensor to some of my Zzonoffs in the future for sure!
Crazy thing happened today. A couple hours after this video posted I was happily replying to every comment, like I always do, when for some crazy reason TH-cam stopped accepting my comments. I looked in the creator forums and best I can determine I exceeded some max for commenting in a period of time!
What kinda craziness is that! I wouldn’t have guess there’d be a limit to how much I can comment on my own videos!
Anyway, sorry I didn’t reply to everyone who commented as quickly as I usually do. I’ll go back and catch up on the comments I missed during my TH-cam time-out.
Thanks for your support!
Probably some sort of misguided spam filter as you surmised.
Just glad it's finally fixed.
I wasn't getting notice of new comments during that time either. I was really in TH-cam jail for a day.
it's a little odd too, because I think I've made more comments today than I did before my "time-out" yesterday. oh well.
Is that because you are some sort of robot? dun dun dun truth comes out!!
they're finally on to me! I'll have to change my profile pic:
www.dropbox.com/s/9u7i6frgu909zay/picardborg.jpg?dl=0
that´s a really good explained tutorial!
Thanks!
It's a bit dated now. Things have changed a lot and are actually easier and more capable now.
DUDE I LOVE YOU :-) You have answered my issues. OMG WOW :-)
haha!
Thanks!
When I think to myself "What would I like to see a video about?" It often turns out that's what others are waiting to see to.
I got the DIY magnetic smart locks with Sonoff SV's working yesterday! That one is coming up! Hopefully I can get the video done for next week.
If my dang real job that pays me money would stop demanding so much of my time! ;P
Fantastic tutorial. Thanks
2:56. You can also power the D1 by the 3.3v Directly.
I cannot find 2 infos - how to set the LED number (e.g. how many is connected) and how to tell tasmota that I have RGBW leds, not only RGB... Even Tasmota wiki seems to skip anything on addressable leds topic.
man.. they need a "Like x 1000" button !!
thank you for sharing this video !!
flashing Tasmota tonight.
hahaha!
That's awesome!
Glad you liked it! Good Luck tonight!
Hi,
Perhaps you may be interested in this configuration.
When the motion sensor is activated, a rule delays its deactivation during the set time (in my case, 30 seconds) to see it active in HA.
The second rule invalidates the publication that turns off the connected led strip.
SwitchMode 0
SwitchMode2 1
SwitchTopic2 PIR
SwitchTopic 0
Rule1 on switch2#state=1 do backlog publish cmnd/PIR/POWER2 ON; RuleTimer1 30 endon on Rules#Timer=1 do publish cmnd/PIR/POWER2 OFF endon
Rule2 on switch2#state=0 do publish stat/proyecto1/POWER "" endon
Rule1 1
Rule2 1
;-) Thanks for your work.
thank you, friendly tip about text for in video links, they appear where the youtube gui overlays, so when people pause they can not be read, please paste higher up if possible, or not....thanks again.
love it man, really helped me out tnx!!!!!
I am using a D1 mini to monitor temp, hum, bar and dew point. It operates from a battery and I need to monitor the analog pin to check the battery charge point. I use Tasmota to set up the chip and see where the analog pin is and have it assigned. My question is how do I get MQTT to see that analog pin and read it?
I also need to add the deep sleep mode, on a 1-minute cycle? Thank you in advance.
Hello DrZzs,
First of all many many thanks for your tutorial which is very useful to me for making home automation.
I have made 3 switches with basic sonoff with flashing tasmota and it's working very well. thanks again.
Than I Flash tasmota on NodMCU and controlling 4 relay board, Its works but there is little problem.
When I trigger, It works opposite, means when I turning ON my relay goes OFF and When I turning OFF it goes ON.
So Please help me to solve this problem.
My tasmota settings are below.
Module type is 18.Generic
D6 GPIO12 Relay1 - Relay 01
D7 GPIO13 Led1i - Relay 02
D5 GPIO14 Sensor - Relay 03
D8 GPIO15 - Relay 04
It will be very helpful to me if you can solve this problem.
Sorry for my English.
Thanks,
Hi. Great video. I was wondering if I could use a MMwave sensor indstead of the Pir?
Great video, thanks a lot
Hallo boss!
How can avoid a relay turn off/on after every restart?
I have 2 relays set in interlock , but every time the wemos tasmota restarts they will go on together for few than a second.... can you help me?
Not sure if anyone has tried to add more than one DHT11 sensor on a Nodemcu board, but I found out that the JSON object needs to be reformatted, due to the hyphen in the sensor name that tasmota adds to it. I used D1, D2 and D3 pins and they reported DHT11-00, DHT11-04 and DHT11-05. Below is how I reformatted the value_template so that it can read the hypen in the JSON object. I also set the TelePeriod in the tasmota console to read the sensors every 30 seconds. The command for that is TelePeriod 30. I believe the default reads every 10 minutes. Hope this helps someone else.
- platform: mqtt
state_topic: 'tele/batterysensor/SENSOR'
name: 'D1 Temperature'
unit_of_measurement: '°F'
value_template: '{{ value_json["DHT11-00"].Temperature }}'
Nice and informative video.
Question - i connected wemos with relay and AC power accessories. i'm able to control but because of no power-backup or whatever reason if there's couple power fluctuations, it wipes out the config from the esp8266.
Any ideas, how to avoid it ?
AAHHH I was breaking my head with the OFF msg that the PIR sends making the relay turn off. And is because SW1 is defaulted attached to de relay I guess, THAAAAAANKS!!!!
Well switchtopic2 actually doesnt work if you have more than one witch, at least not in my case. look at this, finally switchmode 14 is what I needed.
tasmota.github.io/docs/Buttons-and-Switches/#switchmode
"SwitchMode 14
Set switch to inverted "push to on" mode (0 = ON, 1 = nothing)
This mode is useful with PIR sensors
SwitchTopic
Warning
When using SwitchTopic 1 or 2 (or ButtonTopic 1 or 2) and your MQTT broker becomes unavailable, Tasmota falls back to default SwitchTopic 0 (or ButtonTopic 0), which is not optimal.
To avoid this, we recommend using rules. They simply always work!"
Excelent bro , keep working.
Thanks brother!
Always look forward to getting my first comment from you!
Great video but I think the git has changed for the version of the sonoff-tasmota.ino. I can't find that file anywhere with the config settings on it...is there an updated way to do this? thanks
hey @DrZzs , love your videos, subscribed a while ago, this is one of the meany really good videos along with the floorplan tutorial and many other ones. So a BIG THANK YOU. You saved me loads to research time. First time I'm asking for some help. I've setup the PIR sensor as per your instructions, I have flashed the "Wemos D1R2" (not the mini but still esp8266 ) as per your instructions and works fine with Tasmota, over the browser in the console I can see (09:50:15 MQT: cmnd/d1pir/POWER2 = TOGGLE) when I wave my hand over the sensor which seems to work fine every time. The HASS server seems to be setup correctly as the motion sensor icon comes up and I can find it as an entity "binary_sensor.wemosd1" I can manually change the state to ON or OFF and get the automation I've setup to work, but the motion detection doesn't toggle the binary_sensor from ON to OFF or OFF to ON on it's own. The topic is set as (state_topic: "cmnd/d1pir/POWER2") Any idea why is not changing the state to ON or OFF when "TOGGLE" ? Thanks in advance!
Great video, thanks!!
oh good! glad it was helpful!
... Any chance you can do a clip showing how to add a DHT22 and say a BME280 to a Sonoff Basic. (I'm planning one DHT22 on one Basic at one location and another BME280 on a 2nd Basic at the 2nd location, only reason for the BME22 is the pressure sensor, would have been nice if there was a Temp/Hum/Pressuree sensor in the packaging of a DHT22
I can put it on the list. Not sure when I can get to it.
Hi tasmotizer work perfect too.
Would love to see something like this with the SGP30 sensor!
Late to the party! Love this video. Did you power the entire neopixel project from that 5V supply? Just wondering about shared ground for microcontroller and LEDs
This is fantastic doctor! I got sensors out the wazoo. There is a wifi repeater project on github that is pretty dope too. Do you know whether it is possible to track people based on the wifi/bluetooth beacons emitted by their phones? I would like to be notified of my neighbor's comings and goings. Not for any nefarious reasons. Sometimes they don't answer their door when I knock. This way I can announce, "I know you're home, I want to finish our discussion about home automation!" If you could point me in the right direction, that would be great. Thanks for vids
is there any way of getting a custom firmware onto a Hisense AEH-W4E1 ac unit?
Hi DrZzs! Great video! Any chance you could publish an idiot-proof video for dummies like me on just how to flash tasmota into a Tuya PIR sensor?
great work and content
thanks!
Best of the best
ha! thanks!
my sensor is working, showing in tasmota page, added to HA with MQTT, but readings not showing in HA. please Need help.
I can't say for sure what you need to do without more information. Possibly you need to add the devices to the UI. This is a good guide to do that: www.juanmtech.com/home-assistant-new-user-interface-and-ui-editor/
Thanks, that was some good info. I just went to copy everything over to the Arduino IDE and am having some issues. The files for tasmota changed (name wise), running into a wall at the moment.
NM....used NodeMCU PyFlasher...so easy
Is this still necessary for the Arduino part in 2022?
Does tasmota support external RTC on esp8266? I would like to build a tasmota rtc relay timer that i can use offline at my woods cabin oft 12V
When I open the Sonoff.ino file, Only one tab opens that is the sonoff.ino. not getting the other tabs ????
I'd recommend not using the Arduino IDE anymore. I'd go with the pre-compiled binary of tasmota instead. th-cam.com/video/KMiP9Ku71To/w-d-xo.html
Much easier and much less likely to have errors in the process.
Good luck
Thanks again for another educational video, I have succesfully tasmotized my D1 mini but cannot get water sensor to be recognised, have tried numerous module configurations to no avail, any ideas? .
i am not able to add switchtopic2..even when i use the code switchtopic2 in console..the reply says switchtopic changed but not switchtopic1 or switchtopic2 changed. please help
In that case, you just have 1 sensor or switch setup. If you use multiple sensors (up to 4), more switchtopics will start appearing. So for now, just SwitchTopic is fine.
Thank you for this great tutorial. I want to automate a phyiscal button press with an CD4066 IC - how can I send HIGH/LOW to GPIO 4 for example? Do I even need a IC for this?
Hello, thanks fot the tutorial, Could you help me with one doubt?: It`s possible to conect PIR sensor directly i the sonoff? Thanks in advance.
I have followed your steps but for some reason when I opened my arduino soft ware it does not have the multiple tabs like yours does. I have tried to find where I went wrong but I cannot seems to get to the right location. It seems that when I open the Arduino software it is just that, mean it does not say sonoff like yours does at the top. I feel like I need to open a file to work in but I cannot find sonoff.ino??
I'd recommend not using Arduino IDE anymore. There's an easier way to put Tasmota on any device. Use FlashEZ and Sonoff.bin: th-cam.com/video/KMiP9Ku71To/w-d-xo.html
Inspirational video. How do I read the sensor values in an iOS MQTT app like IoT OnOff? What kind of topic do I need to subscribe to?
thanks
I don't know about that specific app, but for Home Assistant the sensor entry looks something like this:
Sensor:
- platform: mqtt
state_topic: 'tele/masterBR/SENSOR'
name: 'Master Bedroom Temp' #AM2301
unit_of_measurement: '°F'
value_template: '{{ value_json.AM2301.Temperature -2 }}'
Hope that helps.
@@DrZzs Great stuff. Managed to figure it out and your tip about inserting the sensor model into the JSON parser made it all work :) Thanks!
Yo! Did you see the Crankshaft (Android Auto) videos as of late? I think a build of that could be used in conjunction with presence detection to make some cool in-car stuff. Also awesome video dude!
Thanks man!
I didn't know about Crankshaft but I LOVE the idea of doing more IoT stuff in our cars. I'll check it out.
Do you have a link to those videos? I just did a quick youtube search and didn't find them. Lots of videos on how to make a Crankshaft though!
Sure, I didn't want to spam links without your permission.

I don't understand that "value_json". May be that's the reason, my sensor is working, showing in tasmota page, added to HA with MQTT, but readings not showing in HA. Need help.
Great video, it's inspired me to start looking into this new world of automation! Does anybody know if there's a limit on the number of DHT11 sensors that tasmota can handle? I'm trying to get 4 of them running to monitor my Heat Recovery Ventilator temps/hum levels but only 3 of them show up in the web UI and out of MQTT. I've got them hooked up to GPIO's 0, 2, 4 and 5 with my module type as Generic 18.
When I copy and paste the code for the d11 into my yawl file it gives an error for the code.
Does Esp-now with Tasmota?
temperature and humidity STILL not updating on mine! shows temps in C not F even tough I set the option in tasmota and has payload in F!!!
Do you have a current version of this?? none of the files names are really the same and I am having a heck of a time getting by the the area from time stamp 1:50 - 2:00 driving me crazy!! seem to be missing a step Thanks
You're not selling Tasmota to me in this case. I'll keep using ESPHome for these development boards, compile, load and HA auto detects. No messing with MQTT either.
Though Tasmota and SonOff (via your videos) has got me thinking about RF more though with my bridge. Currently have development board based motion sensor, etc that require wire routing and power sources. Enter the SonOff RF bridge & a cheap, battery powered array of sensors. No more trying to make cables neat and working out where the nearest power source is.
The first I have working is cheap RF switches. I use these as an override to automation. IE the bedroom light doesn't come on if it detects motion but a certain lux level is already present. Fine 95% of the time, but what about the 5% of the time when I want the light bright to do a delicate job in the dark corner away from the window? RF switch on batteries in the dark corner allows be to override the automation logic. This is getting a high wife approval rating. No more hunting for the phone to do it.
This will allow me to use the development boards for more "thinking" projects, such as blinds (shades), LED control, etc. Again mostly based on your videos. Many thanks for making them.
this video was made WAY before ESPhome was a thing. Even Tasmota wasn't as good back then as it is now.
But I'm glad you watched and I'm glad you like ESPhome. It is fantastic.
But each still has a place. I'm fairly new to this stuff, so didn't know ESPHome was new. Though I'm going to use Tasmota and MQTT more going forwards. Unfortunately for a lot of things I wish I'd known when I started. Still, every day is a chance to learn something new.
Any idea how to read and log an analog ( for examle a gas ) meter data? Regards
Not that I can think of right now. I know you can get analog input on the Ao pin, but what exactly the gas meter is outputting and how the D1mini/Tasmota would interpret that I can't really say.
Hello DrZZs, all your video are awesome and I learn a lot with them. I use this video to create some temperature and humidity sensor over the house with some wemo d1 mini with tasmota and some DHT11, they all work nicely and home assistant integration too. The issue I have is, after sometime my wemo stop read the both value and the only way to make it read again is to remove the power and plug it back. After that it work for a while until I have to do it again. A soft restart do not work.
Can you help?
Thank you again for your good work
bummer. I don't know what to do about that. I guess I'd try to automate a hard reset perhaps by using a wifi smart plug for the power supply going to the D1mini.
I've done that with my PiZero Cameras that need a hard restart every so often. Not a very elegant solution, but it works.
Thank you for the tutorial. I'm having some issues by trying to connect a PIR and a DHT11 to a Tasmotized sonnof basic. When I connect the sensors individually they work fine but if I connect both only the DHT works. I'm running the last updated version of home assistant (0.115.4), the PIR is connected to GPIO3 and the DHT to GPIO1. I only added these lines to the binary_sensor.yaml:
- platform: mqtt
state_topic: cmnd/NewPir01/POWER2
name: R3 PIR
device_class: motion
Any lead? I out of options. Thank you in advance
H.
Try typing "SerialLog 0" in the Tasmota terminal. That'll turn off Rx/Tx communication.
Hope that helps!
@@DrZzs Actually I erased everything and only applied these two rules:
rule 1 on switch2#state do publish Prueba/PIR/state %value% endon
and
rule 2 on switch2#state=1 do backlog power1 on; ruletimer1 30 endon on rules#timer=1 do power1 off endon
also I've generated a binary sensor like this:
- platform: mqtt
name: "PIR Motion"
state_topic: "Prueba/PIR/state"
qos: 1
payload_on: "1"
payload_off: "0"
payload_available: "Online"
payload_not_available: "Offline"
device_class: motion
That lets me show the PIR into HA, and it works very well... but as soon as I connect the DHT11 the PIR system stopped working.
By the way, I didn't introduce a single line of code for the DHT11, it worked automatically.
I've tried to change the SerialLog from 2 to 0 but I've got any change
@@DrZzs I made a cross-check of console log by restarting the unit with and without the DHT11, and I found these three lines are executed at the very beggining of the boot ONLY when DHT11 is NOT connect:
00:00:02 RUL: SWITCH2#STATE performs "publish Prueba/PIR/state 0"
00:00:02 RSL: Prueba/PIR/state = 0
00:00:02 RSL: stat/Prueba/PIR/SWITCH2 = {"STATE":"OFF"}
Any clue how make them run also with the DHT11 connected?
Is there no .bin file for this purpose? I would prefer that method if possible.
yes, there are lots of .bin files to choose from.

Love your videos. Wnan I first stumbled upon your channel, I have thought... who is this spooky talking head, but soon realised that you are pretty charismatic character, and your channel is very helpfull. Thank you.
Thank you @DrZzs for another wonderful tutorial. On my D1 mini, however, I have two problems. Can you please help me with these?
(1) When the motion has ceased, the switch doesn't revert to OFF sometimes. It stays stuck on ON until the motion is triggered again, when it toggles.
(2) When restarted, the switch begins with OFF. However, when it first senses motion, it still fires OFF and a few seconds later fires ON.
Did find a solution to this? I have the same issue
I like your videos, the style and presentation especially as well as the content. Please keep it up. I appreciate this video was released quite a long time ago, however I would welcome your input to a project that I am currently working on. I would like to use a D1 Mini or Node MCU to measure several temperatures using DS18B20 temperature sensors on a single 1-wire pin. Can this be done with Tasmotizer? If this is feasible then I would very much appreciate your comments.
Lost you about 2:00 time, my sonoff.ino files look different. and I cannot follow you to the user.h as I am Win user... .any hint ? Thx
Use tazmotizer saves all the setup steps
