Tasmota: Sonoff 4CH Pro R2 physical pushbuttons not switching relays

[parautenbach]

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

When I actuate the pushbuttons, the corresponding relays don't toggle. It does work when toggling the buttons via the web interface (or MQTT which I have configured).

• [ ] Provide the output of the Console log output when you experience your issue; if applicable:
  _(Please use_ weblog 4 _for more debug information)_

  Console output here:

TO REPRODUCE

1. Turn on the device
2. Press any button

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR

I expect the corresponding relay and LED to switch toggle.

SCREENSHOTS

N/A

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

The only related issue I could find was someone that powered their device incorrectly. I read elsewhere to "simply" reboot the device a few times. In a third instance, someone said to just re-upload the firmware (which I've done).

My DIP and other switches are also set as per the documentation:

• S6: 1
• K5: all 1
• K6: all 0

(Please, remember to close the issue when the problem has been addressed)

[kugelkopf123]

Same with the 4ch r2.

[effelle]

Please check if setoption73 is off and post the log (using weblog 4) when you press any of the buttons.

[arendst]

Verified. With SO73 1 the buttons don't work for obvious reasons.

[kugelkopf123]

Found the reason for my problem:
https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota/pull/8927
Thought this was only for switches, not switches and buttons.
If I comment it out of the script the buttons work again.
SO73 is 0.

Turning it off means the buttons work as expected.

I don't know why SO73 was on (neither am I sure that I understand what exactly that option does).

UPDATE: Thinking about it more: Does it mean if I receive a button press command it's up to me to send a command back to turn the LED on? Is that what "decouple" means here?

[parautenbach]

I think it's the Tasmota Home Assistant docs that lead me to turn it on.

(Also, really appreciate the quick feedback.)

UPDATE: Thinking about it more: Does it mean if I receive a button press command it's up to me to send a command back to turn the LED on? Is that what "decouple" means here?

Yes. SO73 was made to decouple the buttons from their respective power devices (relays) and let the user manage them as unlinked entities.
Home Assistant Discovery needs so73 enabled if you want to use the buttons as triggers for automation, then in Tasmota you can set a rule to enable just what you want.
For example you could decide to have a button react in Tamsota just when you press it 3 times or when you hold it and leave all the rest of the combinations out (or managed by Home Assistant automation).
