Hello,

Once I have verify and upload the sketch , i get my strip leds in blue with AP mode, I enter the wifi credentials, then ESP connect on wifi, and leds strip turn on red but soon after this I get the following log and ESP disconnect from wifi :

I have disable MQTT and HomeAssistant and everything is working well. Do you have an idea why MQTT and HomeAssistant could stop wifi working well ?

Thanks a lot

That is weird, the code should be able to connect to MQTT and integrate with HA seamlessly.

Did you enable MQTT or AMQTT? I think I had such problems in the beginning and stabilized like you by not using many options. Then I introduced AMQTT and it works as needed.

Hello debsahu,

I have just try with another Wemos D1 Mini board and it seems to work with Home Assistant & MQTT .

My definitions.h :

define ENABLE_MQTT

define ENABLE_HOMEASSISTANT

My configuration.yaml (home assistant config file)

Problem is that home assistant see the light off instead of on, so the switch on home assitant does not work. But when I switch off the led by MCLightning frontend, I can switch on with home assitant , but status is still wrong.

I don't have the panel to change color or effect, only the brightness setting is working, see the screenshot:

I have tried MQTT, and now MQTT seems working but with not all settings, I try to configure to use AMQTT to let home assistant configure by discovering

[HiranChaudhuri]

I believe your HomeAssistant configuration needs improvement. However I only configured HomeAssistant to access MQTT and perform AutoDiscovery.

Did you enable HomeAssistant support (ENABLE_HOMEASSISTANT) in definitions.h?

For me McLightning sends a message to a specific topic offering itself to HomeAssistant. After that HomeAssistant knows about the device and it's capabilities, and my settings dialog contains a lot more than your screenshot shows...
