TX Ultimate: Missing entities (slide, double tap, ambient) after adding integration
Hi,
First of all, thank you for this great integration.
I’m quite new to Home Assistant and to SonoffLAN, so please excuse me if I’m missing something obvious.
I’ve successfully installed SonoffLAN, entered my eWeLink credentials, and all of my devices appeared immediately without any additional manual configuration — which is great.
However, I have a Sonoff TX Ultimate wall switch. While it shows up correctly (as a switch/light entity) and I can control it from Home Assistant, I was hoping to also get entities or events for its advanced features, like:
two finger double tap
slide left / right gestures
ambient LED control
From what I’ve read, these features seem to be available if flashed with ESPHome, but I was hoping the integration would expose these as well.
Is this lack of entities expected due to current SonoffLAN limitations, or could it be related to a misconfiguration on my side? (As I mentioned, I only installed the integration, logged in with my eWeLink account, and everything synced automatically — I didn’t do anything else manually.)
Could you please clarify whether these TX Ultimate gestures are supported in SonoffLAN, or if the only way to achieve them is via ESPHome?
Thanks in advance for your help and patience with a beginner!
I don't really know what exactly is supported on this model. But something is supported: https://github.com/AlexxIT/SonoffLAN/blob/0837c19a835a9eda624019beaa1d4de630876701/tests/test_entity.py#L1670-L1676
Under light controls you will find “effects”. Her you can set the predefined Sonoff LED options.
In automation triggers use entity action. slide_1 and slide_2 are the 2 sonoff defined slide actions (L/R or up/down depending on your switch orientation).
Double tap is not implemented by sonoff. For this you would need to flash your ultimate with 3rd party firmware….
Device details: • Model: T5-2C-120 • Device ID: 1002519dc3 • Current Firmware: SN-ESP32D0-T5-01, Version 1.5.0 • MAC Address: e4:65:b8:c9:29:20
After updating to firmware version 1.5.0, the swipe gestures stopped working completely. Before the update, all swipe functions were operating normally.
It looks like something has changed in the firmware and now I don't see action slide_1 or slide_2.
