Control bistable relay with Sonoff

[ondratan]

Hi guys,

I am using bistable pulse relay to control lights. There are no two-position switches, just press-buttons. It works great with RavenCore with inching time. But even if the light is on, the Sonoff shows its off of course. Do you think there is a way to inform Sonoff about current status, which would then display the correct status in the HomeKit?

Many thanks

Sorry, this is not possible with this firmware. You must use a Shelly 1 with a custom firmware to perform it, connecting the L of the lamp to Shelly S1 connector, so you can read status of your lamp.

Hi guys,

Hi!

You may find the same feature request in my #577 and #618 issues.

Unfortunately Jose does not want to introduce the function I propose to solve your problem to his wonderful project, so I decided to make my own branch with Action Conditions support. You may set OTA repository as "vsevolod-volkov/haa" instead of "RavenSystem/haa" regarding to Jose's installation instructions to install firmware with action conditions support in format as shown in #618. Please find configuration example debugged on my own Shelly 1 used as pulse relay controller below:

{
    "c": {
        "o": 1,
        "b": [ { "g": 0, "t": 5 } ]
    },
    "a": [
        {
            "t": 1,
            "0": { "r": [ { "c": [{ "g": 5, "t": 0 }], "g": 4, "v": 1, "i": 0.1 } ] },
            "1": { "r": [ { "c": [{ "g": 5, "p": 0 }], "g": 4, "v": 1, "i": 0.1 } ] },
            "f0": [ { "g": 5, "p": 0 } ],
            "f1": [ { "g": 5, "t": 0 } ]
        }
    ]
}

As you can see "a"..."r"..."c" element format uses "g" "p" and "t" subelements as described for button. "t" is selected as input GPIO state to whole condition element to look like a button setup. Note: in current implementation if you use some GPIO in condition's "g", that sets pull-up resistor mode and has no button attached to it, that condition should be the first one.

Please find source codes here.

Hi vsevolod-volkov, I appreciate your passion for the thing, you did a great job. I will definitely try it. I also read Joses comments and I hope he takes it at his mercy to implement this feature as the use of bistable relays increases :)

Hi ondratan, I do it for myself, it is my own problem too (please find #577).

Please find configuration example debugged on my own Shelly 1 used as pulse relay controller below:

Updated config:

{
    "c": {
        "o": 1,
        "b": [ { "g": 0, "t": 5 } ]
    },
    "a": [
        {
            "t": 1,
            "1": { "r": [ { "c": [{ "g": 5, "t": 0 }], "g": 4, "v": 1, "i": 0.1 } ] },
            "0": { "r": [ { "c": [{ "g": 5, "p": 0 }], "g": 4, "v": 1, "i": 0.1 } ] },
            "f0": [ { "g": 5, "t": 0 } ],
            "f1": [ { "g": 5, "p": 0 } ]
        }
    ]
}

Also please refer to #648.

[vsevolod-volkov]

I will definitely try it.

Please find new OTA binary release including input GPIO filtering plus all the features from current latest original HAA release v0.8.3.

To use input GPIO filtering add "F" option to "c":

{
    "c": {
        "o": 1,
        "b": [ { "g": 0, "t": 5 } ],
        "F": 10
    },
