Sonoff-Tasmota: GPIO14 - Wall switch

[Tobias]

Hi.

I've have some issues with using GPIO14, hopefully some of you can help!

My firmware is pretty plain, but I cannot get my GPIO14 to work with a wallswitch.

I simply want it to toggle the power-state and user_config.h is changed with

 #define SWITCH_MODE            TOGGLE

When I now connect GND to GPIO14 nothing happens, anyone who know what I've done wrong ^^? 

[David Lang]

toggle is appropriate for momentary switches, you want either follow or follow
inverted if you have a on/off switch

with a toggle switch, connect it to ground and then disconnect it.

[Tobias]

Right now I just use a cable between the two pins to give a "puls", but I am normally using a momentary switch.

But nothing really happens, no change of state, nothing.

[David Lang]

nothing in the log (web console)?

try setting logging to a higher level

Go into the module configuration and make sure you've got GPIO14 set to "09 Switch1".

Hi Tim!

That worked better, however - it seems like the SWITCH mode of set PUSHBUTTON. I've defined it as "TOGGLE" in user_config.h, but it goes back to previous state as soon as GND is disconnected. 

[Tim Wellington]

If you're using a momentary button you should change TOGGLE to PUSHBUTTON. It's changing state when you push the button then changing again when you let go.

I did that already, but no difference - same behavior.

what happens when you do switchmode1 in the web console (of via mqtt)

GPIO14 is set up with 09 Switch1

#define SWITCH_MODE            PUSHBUTTON            // [SwitchMode] TOGGLE, FOLLOW, FOLLOW_INV, PUSHBUTTON or PUSHBUTTON_INV (the wall switch state)

13:32:14 CMND: Switchmode1

13:32:14 MQTT: stat/sonoff/RESULT = {"SwitchMode1":1}

13:32:30 MQTT: stat/sonoff/RESULT = {"POWER":"OFF"}

13:32:30 MQTT: stat/sonoff/POWER = OFF

13:32:30 MQTT: stat/sonoff/RESULT = {"POWER":"ON"}

13:32:30 MQTT: stat/sonoff/POWER = ON

AS you can see, when I push my impulse button, it goes back to ON as soon as the pulse is gone.

working as designed

https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/Commands

SwitchMode<x> | | Show current external switch mode
SwitchMode<x> | 0 | (default) Set switch mode to TOGGLE
SwitchMode<x> | 1 | Set switch mode to FOLLOW (0 = Off, 1 = On)
SwitchMode<x> | 2 | Set switch mode to inverted FOLLOW (0 = On, 1
= Off)
SwitchMode<x> | 3 | Set switch mode to PUSHBUTTON (Normally 1, 0 =
toggle)
SwitchMode<x> | 4 | Set switch mode to inverted PUSHBUTTON
(Normally 0, 1 = toggle)

switchmode1 is follow, when the button is down, it's on, when it's up it's off
(for a normally open momentary switch)

try changing switchmode1 to one of the other values.
