Tasmota: Reduce time for sensor report

[mikenolet]

define TELE_PERIOD 300 // [TelePeriod] Telemetry (0 = disable, 10 - 3600 seconds).

I have tried to reduce this value to update the sensor reporting time. Is this the correct paramater to have a temp sensor report temp changes via MQTT?

[davidelang]

yes, reducing this number will generate the tele/ reports more frequently

[mikenolet]

This defined only in the user_config.h file?
I have set the value to 30 but still see messages after 5 min after flashing.

`// -- MQTT - Telemetry ----------------------------

define TELE_PERIOD 30 // [TelePeriod] Telemetry (0 = disable, 10 - 3600 seconds)`

[davidelang]

no, you can configure it via a command or in the web page (configuration ->
logging)

look in troubleshooting for why your change to user_config.h didn't get applied.

That did the trick. Thanks.

wHAT DID THE TRICK?

[bachya]

@mrohner Check out this page: https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Commands

Specifically, entering this command in the web console:

TelePeriod 60

...will change the telemetry period to 60 seconds (from the default 300).

[msandik]

Can the telemetrie be changed via mqtt command?

[ascillato]

Yes.

Explained in wiki at commands:

cmnd/yourtasmotatopic/teleperiod 60

Where 60 are seconds

[bhengeveld]

I gather from the console and the commandslist that the smallest value of Teleperiod is 10 seconds? Is there a way to shorten this? I'd like to switch a dustcollector using something like current or voltage going through a smartplug (or eventually shelly) as a trigger. It would be ideal to have that switch on after 1 or 2 seconds.

[ascillato]

If you want a mqtt message when a sensor reaches a value or a threshold, you need to use rules. Please, check the docs at rules. There are examples of exactly that. Thanks.

[ascillato]

If you need further assistant on that, please, address this to the Tasmota Support Chat. The chat is a better and more dynamic channel for helping you.

Thanks.
