Change binary sensor state

Open blueslow opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Background

I have lots of remotes around the house that are "directly" paired to switches. Thus they control the switches directly. These remotes are also registered in the tellstick znet v2 lite.

In Home Assistant (HA) , mqtt these remotes are registered as binary sensors and marked an unavailable. When the remote is activated e.g. turned on or off its state is shortly shown in HA as on or off and then becomes unavailable again.

As the remote is unavailbe in HA I can't activate the switch by changeing the remote setting in HA.

If I use MQTT explorer I can change the state of the remote or switch in question, values show up in the broker, but the tellstick 2 does not send out the 433MHz command or atleast the right one and thus the switch newer change status.

It seems to be a difference between topic state and topic set depending on how a device is register in HA. or in the plugin.

Question:

Is there a way to get this to work inorder to not have to re-configure many switches and be indepent from the telldus company?
