This is a question related to HA not Tasmota. Please ask for help in HA community

[jonny190]

All my other mqtt transitions are working on alternative firmware to
sonoff. I'm wanting to change them all to sonoff for ease of management but
this issue is stopping me. For reference the working firmware is

Please, try the command weblog 4 in the Tasmota console for more debug information and then try again. Please, post the output of the console here. Thanks

In the log it can be seen that the flash you see is being commanded by home assistant. So, it is not Tasmota. Is the config in Home Assistant that is sending those commands.

See it sends:
Color2 255,0,0 (change to red without modifying the dimmer value)
Dimmer 100 (put the bright to maximum)
White 0 (turn off all channels and put the white in off)

So Tasmota is responding ok to the commands received. Please, check the wiki for proper configuration of home assistant.

If you need further assistant please do not hesitate on asking here or in the Tasmota Support Chat. Thanks

[jonny190]

I can see the difference in the commands being send, Does tasmota not support HomeAssistant autoconfig for JSON formatting ?

Working:
Fireplace/json/set
{"state": "ON", "color": {"r": 255, "g": 0, "b": 0}, "transition": 10, "brightness": 255, "white_value": 0}
Fireplace/json/state
{"state":"ON","brightness":255,"white_value":0,"color":{"r":255,"g":0,"b":0}}

Not Working:
LivingroomBackdoor/cmnd/Color2
255,0,0
LivingroomBackdoor/cmnd/Dimmer
100
LivingroomBackdoor/cmnd/White
0

[ascillato]

In the other json you see a transition command.
In the Tasmota one you show, there isn't.

[ascillato]

Tasmota don't support transition from one color to another. It supports only fade.

[jonny190]

My Homeassistant config for the Tasmota comes from the autoconfig "Setoption19 1"

[ascillato]

Ok. So may be it is missing the fade command. Anyway, you can make an automation sending the commands with a backlog.

[ascillato]

@emontnemery any idea?

[emontnemery]

I'll have a look tomorrow.
Edit: actually, you are right @ascillato, Tasmota is working.
The problem is that setting white value in Hass has undefined behaviour with regards to if it should only control the white channel and leave the others untouched, or if it should adjust white and turn off the other channels.
Tasmota does the latter.
@jonny190 just remove the white_value from your automation

More details here: home-assistant/architecture#123

[ascillato]

@jonny190

Hi, could you do the test explained by @emontnemery?

[jonny190]

@jonny190

Hi, could you do the test explained by @emontnemery?

Ive tired this the light turnes on at 100% with not fade

[ascillato2]

Can you share your modified HA config and also the output of the console?

[emontnemery]

Fade is not supported by HA mqtt light with basic schema, so it's not a bug.
This is documented here: https://www.home-assistant.io/components/light.mqtt/#comparison-of-light-mqtt-schemas

We could consider again adding support for HA mqtt light with JSON schema to Tasmota, which supports fading, this is a small effort.

@arendst, @ascillato2 If you will accept such PR, I can implement it. It was rejected before because Tasmota already has too many ways to control lights. But the question is popping up several times..

Another way is to make custom Tasmota component for HA, but it would need someone to actively support it.

[Jason2866]

Just my 2 cents. I dont like the idea to do specific enhancements just for HA.

[emontnemery]

@Jason2866 So I can count you in on supporting the HA custom component then? ;)

(I'll have a look again at doing a Tasmota component for HA. It would need someone besides myself to actively maintain it though.)

[jonny190]

Is the mqtt JSON transition not standard code that can be used outside of HA as well?

[emontnemery]

@jonny190 It's invented by HA developers, not sure if it's used outside.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

[stale[bot]]

This issue will be auto-closed because there hasn't been any activity for a few months. Feel free to open a new one if you still experience this problem.

[l3ok]

Any progress on this, would be great to be able to do transitions from HA.

[Jason2866]

No.
