SONOFF 4ch Timer ARM Issue

[Jim Ebner]

Hello,

I am using the time function in a SONOFF 4CH R2 device flashed with Tasmota 8.3.1. All is good except that I cannot get the timer function on the device to do what I expect.

The timer schedule works fine when I manually set it up using the module UI. However, I would like to enable/disable the timer using MQTT commands from the Node Red dashboard. I can send commands and they get accepted OK. So I thought that using the "ARM" function would enable/disable the pre-set schedule for that particular timer. The arm button is set/cleared ok in the module but the timer does not fire when the arm is set when the current time is within the timer window. The timer does fire when the arm is set outside the window and the current time then moves into the window.

Has anyone has this issue and perhaps know of a work around?

Many thanks,

Jim

sounds like a bug?  I expect that the mqtt commands sent from node red to change the arm attribute would be useful?    have you posted a github issue?

fwiw i use timers within a 4ch pro r2 currently running V7.1.2 And i use the tiomer arm attribute frequently atm tho i am NOT manipulating via mqtt atm, i may wish to in the future so am watching..  .
