Scream4Life commented 5 years ago

Hi, I installed the modul properly and the fan can be controlled via sonoff webinterface and the remote. Now I installed your plugin for controlling it via homebridge, put this into the config

{
            "accessory": "mqtt-fan-tasmota",
            "name": "Büro Ventilator",
            "topic": "sonoff",
            "url": "mqtt://<ip of the sonoff modul>"
},

and see the new accessory in the home app. Unfortunately there is not reaction when a push the fan icon in the home app. Well, it shows activated and the log writes this

[2019-3-6 11:43:22] [Büro Ventilator] Setting power to true
[2019-3-6 11:43:22] [Büro Ventilator] Setting speed to 3

but the sonoff modul does not react on this. Since I've no knowledge in mqtt I assume I'm missing an important part here. Can you help me?

deon-wentzel commented 5 years ago

I have this installed and all is working fine

Your url must be as follows

"url": "mqtt://{ip of MQTT server}:1883"

have you installed Mosquitto?

Scream4Life commented 5 years ago

No, MQTT and brokers are completely new to me. Need to find a good description how to install that on the PI as well. I assume it can run side-by-side to homebridge.

deon-wentzel commented 5 years ago

This is one of many links, I recommend you check for later ones.

Scream4Life commented 5 years ago

Ok, I managed to install Mosquito now. I would expect that when I run mosquitto_sub -h localhost -v -t sonoff on the PI I would see something when the vent gets activated. But nothing.

In Tasmota I inserted in the MQTT settings the Host (IP of the PI running the broker), 1883 as port and topic son off. Everything else seems to be some default entries here. In the OtherSettings menu of Tasmota I saw another MQTT setting which I activated and put son off and Name (friendly name). Emulation is none.

Anything else I can do?

Scream4Life commented 5 years ago

Saw this in the information tab of Tasmota

MQTT Host: IP of my Pi running the broker MQTT Port: 1883 MQTT-User: DVES_USER MQTT client: DVES_DBA24F MQTT topic: sonoff MQTT group topic: sonoffs MQTT full topic: cmnd/sonoff/ MQTT Fallback-Topic: cmnd/DVES_DBA24F_fb/

Reboot Sonoff, browse to the sonoff device and select Console, does it say "00:00:05 MQT: Connected" a few lines from the top?

I also installed the following plug in, https://github.com/cflurin/homebridge-mqtt#readme

deon-wentzel commented 5 years ago

Remember the plug-in for the fan does not support login and password on mqtt. When you configured mosquito did you set it up with a login name and password..

Todo : Implement username and password MQTT authentication as seen on the plugin page

deon-wentzel commented 5 years ago

Because you show connected you should be okay..

Scream4Life commented 5 years ago

Ok, I'm on it. Can you please provide an example config of your mqtt plugin?

I'm not getting it to work. The homebridge now repeats [2019-4-10 14:54:46] [mqtt] on.reconnect [2019-4-10 14:54:46] [mqtt] on.close [2019-4-10 14:54:47] [mqtt] on.reconnect [2019-4-10 14:54:47] [mqtt] on.close [2019-4-10 14:54:48] [mqtt] on.reconnect [2019-4-10 14:54:48] [mqtt] on.close [2019-4-10 14:54:49] [mqtt] on.reconnect [2019-4-10 14:54:49] [mqtt] on.close [2019-4-10 14:54:50] [mqtt] on.reconnect since the mqtt plugin is available

The fan console does not connect anymore, unless I entered the username/pw combination I've defined. When I enter Mosquitto -v on the Pi they them to connect and reports updates when I push a button.

But with that in the background and loaded homebridge this homebridge-mqtt-fan-tasmota plugin does not make the fan rotate 😞 Pretty frustrating and time consuming plugin compared to other Tasmota solutions here.

deon-wentzel commented 5 years ago

I had that issue with the Tasmota code 6.41, I went back to 6.21

No impact with 6.21 as well

deon-wentzel commented 5 years ago

Lets start from the bottom,

So you have installed the following

Nodejs mosquitto homebridge Homebridge-mqtt homebridge-mqtt-fan-tasmota for the Sonoff iFan 02 https://sonoff.itead.cc/en/products/appliances/sonoff-ifan02 Or homebridge-mqtt-switch-tasmota for other Sonoff Devices I also recommend you install Homebridge-config-ui x for a great GUI console

When you browse to the Sonoff device you must select Configure Module > Module Type and select 44 Sonoff iFan02 or what every son off device you have

Check...all these things are up and ready. I'm not using homebridge-mqtt-switch-tasmota for other Sonoff Devices but homebridge-sonoff-tasmota-http which unfortunately does not communicate with the fan.

deon-wentzel commented 5 years ago

I have 6 Fans, all working well with homebridge-mqtt-fan-tasmota plugin, with the three different speeds

Lets compare other things.

MQTT

{
  "platform": "mqtt",
  "name": "mqtt",
  "url": "mqtt://192.168.xxx.xxx:1883", (IP of the PI running Mosquitto)
  "topic_prefix": "homebridge",
  "username": "xxxx",
  "password": "xxxx"
},

MQTT Fan Tasmota

{
            "accessory": "mqtt-fan-tasmota",
            "name": "Büro Ventilator",
            "topic": "sonoff",
            "url": "mqtt://192.168.xxx.xxx:1883" (IP of the Sonoff Fan Modul)
 },

Why does the fan connect to MQTT only when I insert Mosquitto -v? I assume it has something to do with my missing knowledge in MQTT broker configuration.

deon-wentzel commented 5 years ago

Hi

My Config is as follows

node.js v10.15.1 The rest is the same

In you config

    {
        "accessory": "mqtt-fan-tasmota",
        "name": "Study Fan",
        "topic": "studyfan",
        "url": "mqtt:// <mqtt://ip>xx.xx.xx.xx:1883” IP address of the mqtt, Pi running Mosquitt
    },

Oh, you wrote mqtt://ip and than the IP address. That’s different. And further you don‘t use the IP address of the ifan modul anywhere?! Just the mosquitto IP again. I will try that later when I‘m home.

deon-wentzel commented 5 years ago

Sorry that is a typo, yon need to use the IP address MQTT server not of the iFan02. The iFan02 is identified by it hostname i.e in my case studyfan

Ok, so that was it. Actually you don't need the mqtt plugin, any user accounts or version 6.2.1 of tasmota. After I got it working with the correct IP and Mosquitto always connected to the Ifan modul I reduced the setup again. I deleted the account which seem to be setup wrong, since the ifan didn't connect without 'Mosquitto -v' running. I deleted the mqtt plugin and entry in the homebridge config and also tried the latest version of tasmota. I also rebooted everything and it starts up running perfectly smooth.

So thank you for your help. I've learned a lot and maybe the available MQTT setup does help me for future projects as well. Issue closed.

deon-wentzel commented 5 years ago

I used the homebridge-mqtt for node-red…. I use 6.21 for two reason, one because I have devices in poor wifi area and the second is that 6.41 for so some reason keeps on login into the MQTT and there is a delay in the home app.

Remember the plug-in for the fan does not support login and password on mqtt. When you configured mosquito did you set it up with a login name and password..

Todo : Implement username and password MQTT authentication as seen on the plugin page

You can authenticate with username and password in URL so no need to codefix:

mqtt://username:password@127.0.0.1:1883
