Would like for button not to switch relay

[Dries Dokter]

Hello,

I have reprogrammed the sonoff with this new firmware, it is great! I do have a question however:

Using the current firmware I have managed to have the sonoff communicate with mosquito, and am able to use 

mosquitto_pub to switch on the sonoff and mosquitto_sub to receive updates when it switches 

I have a Sonoff basic and connected Pin5 (GPIO14) and GND to an external button. Pressing the external button switches the relay but I  would like it as follows:

• Button pressed
  
• Update send to Openhab / Domoticz
• Based on some logic: Openhab / Domoticz decides to send a message to switch/toggle the relay
  (I am not at all at home to the MQQT lingo :-) So hopefully you can see through that :-)  )

So basically I would like to have the direct relation "external button press --> switches relay" configurable..

Is this already available?

Regards,

Dries

Okay,

So in the mean time I found out 2 things:

I was using Sonoff-MQTT-OTA-Arduino not realizing that Sonoff-Tasmota would be better :-)

In the Sonoff-Tasmota wiki it says:

The button can send a MQTT message to the broker that in turn will switch the relay. To configure this you need to perform cmnd/sonoff/ButtonTopic sonoff where sonoff equals to Topic. The message can also be provided with the retain flag by cmnd/sonoff/ButtonRetain on.

And that is exactly what I needed, so that answers my question!

I had the same "problem" about not knowing tasmota existed/would be better for my scenario. Glad you fixed it.
