Tasmota: Inverted switching?

[pickett2k]

Hi guys just a quick hopefully
Easy one, anyone know a way I can invert the switching so that on means off and off means on?

I am using an Alexa group and 2
Sonoff basics, I want to just say “turn on cinema” and the main light goes off (sonoff 1) and the strip lights come on (sonoff 2)

But when I do this currently if the main light is on it just stays on until I say off then they both turn off...

Hope this makes sense :)

Thanks

use alexa routine, configurabe in the alexa app

Select generic device and configure the pin for the relay to be the inverse of what it is now. ( It is probably Relay1, make it Relay1i and it will be on when the device thinks it is off.)

Reverse ON/OFF meaning for light Sonoff using
StateText1 ON
StateText2 OFF

Usually many ways to do the same thing. Use the one that works for you.

@curzon01 Norbert,

Fairly certain I know what the answer will be, but, nothing ventured, nothing gained...

For StateTextN, it appears that this is a device-wide setting. In other words, for devices with more than one channel (e.g., Sonoff 4Ch), one cannot set each channel to have its own StateText setting; correct?

Regards.

Mike

@meingraham Mike, you know the answer :wink: - yes StateText<x> is a global setting for all channels

I know I'm a little late to the game, but I came across a similar issue on a 3-way switch, where for some reason it had the on/off status flipped. Changing the StateText caused a bunch of issues for me with automations. One solution suggested was to rewire change the traveller wires, but I was too lazy for that. An alternate solution I found was go into the Tasmota Configuration->Configure Template and switch Relay1 to Relay1i for one of the GPIOs (GPIO12 in my case - treatlife 3-way switch) Hope it helps someone else.

@apotapov, Your post helped me out. I ended up switching the travelers.
