Dimmer switch

[boboxx]

are dimmer switch supported?

[AtomBaf]

Unfortunately I haven't got one at home, so no support as of today.

What type of tasmota dimmer switch do you have?

If you don't mind, I can add it 'blindly' and let you try it. This is not an ideal test setup and will probably require some back-and-forth deployments. Would you agree with this?

This is the Tasmota template I'm using: https://templates.blakadder.com/treatlife_DS02S.html

I would be happy to test!

So lets go: I just published a new 0.5.3 version with a new type of accessory called lightbulb You might try it by just replacing the switch keyword in your setting file.

Then, you will notice your switch will appear as a lightbulb, and with a dimmer. It works on my side for the ON/OFF part, tell me if it is okay on your side with the dimmer part

I havent had a chance to install the dimmer switch yet. how do you configure the dimming range?

[AtomBaf]

no range setting yet. Just waiting for your tests.

Ok finally loaded Tasmota on a DS02S and the basic ON/OFF is working. What's next?

[AtomBaf]

I just released a 0.5.4 version. It should forward the HomeKit brightness order to your tasmota

If not, could you go to the tasmota console of your device and check that the command dimmer 50 for instance is working?

I updated, but it dosent look like the damming command is getting passed. if I look at my Tasmota build I get: 15:20:11.121 MQT: stat/tasmota_215B7C/RESULT = {"POWER":"OFF"} 15:20:11.125 MQT: stat/tasmota_215B7C/POWER = OFF 15:20:11.225 MQT: stat/tasmota_215B7C/RESULT = {"POWER":"ON"} 15:20:11.227 MQT: stat/tasmota_215B7C/POWER = ON 15:20:11.711 MQT: stat/tasmota_215B7C/RESULT = {"POWER":"ON"} 15:20:11.716 MQT: stat/tasmota_215B7C/POWER = ON 15:20:11.788 MQT: stat/tasmota_215B7C/RESULT = {"POWER":"ON"} 15:20:11.793 MQT: stat/tasmota_215B7C/POWER = ON 15:20:12.112 MQT: stat/tasmota_215B7C/RESULT = {"POWER":"ON"} 15:20:12.115 MQT: stat/tasmota_215B7C/POWER = ON 15:20:12.665 MQT: stat/tasmota_215B7C/RESULT = {"POWER":"ON"} 15:20:12.668 MQT: stat/tasmota_215B7C/POWER = ON 15:20:12.740 MQT: stat/tasmota_215B7C/RESULT = {"POWER":"ON"} 15:20:12.743 MQT: stat/tasmota_215B7C/POWER = ON 15:20:12.806 MQT: stat/tasmota_215B7C/RESULT = {"POWER":"ON"} 15:20:12.811 MQT: stat/tasmota_215B7C/POWER = ON

all the power on are me sliding the slider.

I know the dimmer works when using the web console: 15:24:09.166 CMD: dimmer 50 15:24:09.173 MQT: stat/tasmota_215B7C/RESULT = {"POWER":"ON","Dimmer":50}

Hi Sorry for delay. Still, we are progressing. On my side I tested on a basic sonoff device. I added a 'lightbulb' device in the homebridge plugin and can see in Apple Homekit the lightbulb with its dimmer control. There are 2 distinct commands handled by the plugin. Power (ON/OFF) and Dimmer (0 to 100). When Homebridge receives the power command from the Apple device, it is translated to a MQTT publish message. For your setup it should be something like: cmnd/tasmota_215B7C/power ON You can test it from your device's console by entering. (you can also test it with a MQTT tool like MQTT explorer) publish cmnd/tasmota_215B7C/power ON Can you confirm this is working?

Similarly, the command Dimmer (as stated in the tasmota doc and as successfully tested on your device) should be forwarded from the apple device, then to a MQTT message like this one: cmnd/tasmota_215B7C/Dimmer 50 Can you test your device is listening to this message by typing: publish cmnd/tasmota_215B7C/Dimmer 50

I'm just realizing when writing this comment that the actual command you typed is dimmer without the capital D. Still, the received result is with a capital letter. The tasmota device might be sensitive to that, could you also test the above publish command with upper/lower cases?

Thanks for your help (and patience)

Update: I just setup a Sonoff Basic as a Sonoff D1 (dimmable switch) Even if obviously the lamp is not working, I can see the log file of the device and can confirm that:

• the MQTT topic to control the dimmer is working
• the 2 way binding is also working (when controlling for HomeKit->Tasmota and also from Tasmota->HomeKit)

I'm using Tasmota version 10.1.0. What's yours?

Update2: I setup my tasmota module as indicated here to reflect your setup. I only did a BackLog TuyaMCU 21,2;SetOption20 1;SetOption54 1 as indicated to enable the dimmer command. And I can confirm that the device is correctly responding to the MQTT messages.

Ok happy to report that it all working! I think the issue I had was with my test bulb!
