I'm taking a look at home assistant to aggregate all the IoT stuff I've made. This page is basically just some notes on how I installed and configured it. I'm installing on a Pine A64+ running Debian Stretch

Years later 9/2/2021 maybe update this a bit. I've recently upgraded firmware on most of my Tasmota devices mostly Sonoff basic and D1 Mini. I'm trying to eleminate some yaml using the > v9.2 HA tasmota integration. These are notes mostly for me. You may find them helpful, or not.

Home Assistant Tasmota Integration

HA version    core-2021.9.0 I have a D1 mini that I've had configured in my garage to read a reed switch and to read two DS18B20s a HA automation will illuminate a light when a reed switch GPIO14 switchmode2 on the garage door indicates that garage door is open. This automation has been working a long time, long enough to have some very old firmware that didn't support the new > v9.2 discovery. I've updated the d1 mini to tasmota.bin version  9.5.0 it's reading the DS18B20s and I see MQTT activity when I open / close the garage door. The DS18B20s are discovered but not the switch ???, that is I don't see the switch trigger in the automation editor. I've tried with switchmod114 as 0 or 1. Also tried reloading the Tasmota integration. I've read the https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tasmota/ and https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Buttons-and-Switches/ perhaps I missed something? Any thoughts?

Debugging

SwitchMode1 15 see; https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Buttons-and-Switches/#switchmode-15%7CSwitchMode1 15

SetOption19 0 - turn off mqtt discovery

SetOption114 1 - When SetOption114 1 all switches are detached from their respective relays and will send MQTT messages instead in the form of {"Switch<x>":{"Action":"<state>"}}.
