Tasmota: Get info from MQTT to Home Assistant

[gbpucci]

I need to get some info like ip address, firmware version, etc, from my Sonoffs, but i only can get this information using tele/ topics !!

This Works

• platform: mqtt
  state_topic: 'tele/sonoff01/STATE'
  value_template: "{{ value_json.Wifi.RSSI }}"
  name: 'Wi-Fi Signal Sonoff01'
  unit_of_measurement: '%'

Dont show nothing

• platform: mqtt
  state_topic: 'stat/sonoff01/STATUS2'
  value_template: "{{ value_json.StatusFWR.Program }}"
  name: 'Version Sonoff '

How i can make a sensor to get the others informations using "stat" ?

You will have to execute the command status 2 in order to get the StatusFWR message.

Can you show how can i make this in home assistant sensor configuration ??
Thanks !!

If you just make a automation with time trigger you could send the Status 2 command to the Sonoff based on whenever you want to request the sensor value and then you will have the sensor response.
Something like this should do the magic:
automation:
trigger:
platform: time
# Matches every hour at 5 minutes past whole
minutes: 5
seconds: 00
action:
service: mqtt.publish
data:
topic: 'cmnd/sonoff01/status 2'

You may not want to send the request every hour, once a day might be often enough, see this for other time triggers: https://home-assistant.io/docs/automation/trigger/
