Hi Dave,

I saw your video on youtube, and i flashed a NodeMCU with your software using arduino. That all worked out because my device is connected to my wifi, but how do i set up my device in Home Assistant? because for other projects i use tasmota, and tasmota got a auto discovery function.. I'm looking forward to your answer!! Greatings, Rens

Hi and thanks for getting in touch.

To get this to work with home assistant, you need to set up two different automations. 1 automation for the quick press, in one for the long press.

Here is an example of one of the automations. The automation wait for the word "toggle" then flips the switch of your choice.

I actually have this set up with tasmota in my house now. Both click and hold work for two different lights. Auto discovery also works. There will be a video on this soon.

for the mqtt server part do i need to put :8123 behind it?

davolesh commented 4 years ago

8123 is the home assistant port. The MQTT port is 1883.
