More switches #3086

Closed Lawrencezarb closed 6 years ago

Lawrencezarb commented 6 years ago

I am working on a project using a D1 mini and Tasmota.

I see that I can have upto 8 Relays configured, but it only allows 4 switches to be configured.

How can I have more switches available, I actually need 5.!

Working on it (#2885) to increase to 8

Thanks, I tried to increase the MAX_SWITCHES but this had no effect.

Hello I working on my smarthouse installation and decided to use tasmota firmware because succesfully built many smart devices for use on my own. Similar to Lawrencezarb i use D1 mini and need more gpio's to use - and here my question. In my projest i use many sensors ( windows, doors contact sensors , motion etc ) and need up to 8 switches to use. But i noticed that if use for example switches 1-8 everyone publishing POWER if i add 3 relays some will publishing POWER 1 some POWER 2 or POWER 3. That what i need to up to 8 independent inputs that will publish POWER 1-8. Is that posible to do in some config way ? The best option is to make posibility independent control of gpios . In other words if i set gpio 1 ,2 and 3 to switch without any relays - i should can do read POWER1-3 depend gpio in use. I use it with homekit2MQTT which is in my opinion more stabble and ease in use that homebridge. No need special plugins because all plugins for every device is part of app. There is problem with getting sensor results because so far it cant parse mqtt messages and sonoff publishing it only by tele messages , but author is working on it. Regards ! Good job anyway !
