get button inputs from port expander MCP23017 via MQTT messages

[Eisbahn]

Hi,

I do have an older custom build with three MCP23017 port expanders connected, which is working perfectly. Up to now I used the expanders just for outputs, but now I do want to use some of the I/Os as an input. Physically connected are regular push buttons, non-latching. Corresponding I/O PIN of the MCP23017 is connected to one pin of the button, other side to GND, meaning I don't have hardwired pull-up or -down resistors connected. The I/O is tied via button to GND. Due to MCP I'm not usign the "7" as input, that one is configured always as output. To get a more robust signal, the internal pull-ups of the MCP should be used. Also I don't want to have any coupling to the outputs. And I do want to get any input change reported directly (and not heavily delayed).
Therefore I configured my ESP by altering my "mcp23x.dat" file

{"NAME":"MCP23017","BASE":0,"GPIO":[256,257,258,259,260,261,262,263,264,265,266,267,268,269,270,271,272,273,274,275,276,277,278,279,162,163,164,165,166,167,168,3872,170,171,172,173,174,175,176,3872,178,179,180,181,182,183,184,3872]}

First I tried with Button1..32 config, now with Switch1..28 config. But both dis not worked...
In the console of the device I could see some log output

10:54:40.912 MQT: bewaesserung/SWITCH20 = {"Switch20":{"Action":"TOGGLE"}}
10:54:41.312 MQT: bewaesserung/SWITCH20 = {"Switch20":{"Action":"TOGGLE"}}
10:54:42.538 MQT: bewaesserung/SWITCH19 = {"Switch19":{"Action":"TOGGLE"}}
10:54:43.012 MQT: bewaesserung/SWITCH19 = {"Switch19":{"Action":"TOGGLE"}}
10:54:46.766 MQT: bewaesserung/SWITCH20 = {"Switch20":{"Action":"TOGGLE"}}
10:54:49.119 MQT: bewaesserung/SWITCH20 = {"Switch20":{"Action":"TOGGLE"}}
10:54:49.718 MQT: bewaesserung/SWITCH19 = {"Switch19":{"Action":"TOGGLE"}}
10:54:50.068 MQT: bewaesserung/SWITCH19 = {"Switch19":{"Action":"TOGGLE"}}

but on MQTT I couldn't see anything. Also I don't want to have some "TOGGLE" command, my intention is to get two messages: first if a button press is recognized and second if release is deteted.
Very likley I screwed up my config, there the output:

What is going wrong here? Or how do I need to configure the port expanders?

[sfromis]

The log messages you posted are when MQTT messages are published, showing topic and payload. Seeing them does suggest that your MCP23017 config is workable.

Looks like you have configured a fulltopic to break the standard Tasmota topic conventions, but that should not make the messages "invisible" if your checking for messages is using a suitable tool and subscription mask.

Hi,

there is no MQTT message. Checked it directly on the broker and also with a spying tool on my PC.
To give it a try, I reset Tasmotat to factory defaults (Tasmota should in my case just act as a I/O forwarder, without any logic = no rules or anything else on it). Now it's the othe way round, I'm flooded with messages and Tasmota goes into a reset loop (most likely due to overload):

[...]
SINGLE
DOUBLE
QUAD
PENTA
HOLD
CLEAR
[...]

is reported for every configured input. Inputs are stable, will check in the afternoon with a scope to have a proof. And will very likely rebuild Tasmota with MCP and MQTT support based on latest code base...
Maybe you could let me know what SetOptions I need to set to
a) decouple the inputs from the outputs (meaning input/button 1 shouldn't have any influence on output/SSR 1)
b) send out any input change as fast as possible via MQTT (without interrupts used, the standard 50msec cycle is fine for me)
c) report every state change of any push button e.g. press detected (=on or 1?), released (=off or 0?)

Thanks

[sfromis]

Your log showed that Tasmota definitely was publishing MQTT messages. No question about that. The timing also looks consistent with you twiddling the buttons, but of course you did not tell details.

With input pins configured as Button (for momentary push to toggle), SetOption73 can be used to avoid default action on outputs, meaning that you get MQTT messages only. With Switch inputs, SetOption114 does the same, but there's also a couple of SwitchMode settings to only get MQTT messages for specific channels.

If you want separate events for push and release, use Switch inputs instead of Button, and make sure to select a SwitchMode to match.

Note that using Button inputs also has default Tasmota recovery actions for multipress (6 times) and very long push (40 seconds). Can be disabled with SetOption1.

BTW. Your first post showed that you had configured ButtonTopic bewaesserung. It is not recommended to use this option unless you really want that exact special-case behavior. You also used FullTopic %topic%, which badly breaks the normal topic behavior for Tasmota.

[Eisbahn]

Wow, that was quick, thanks for your answer.
At that time there was no MQTT published, I'm more than 100% sure as I took a full trace captureing all pakets related to the IP from the ESP via my router/OPNsense and loaded it in Wireshark. And there was nothing regarding the buttons, while at same time there was MQTT traffic e.g. for general device info and also the outputs visible. If it happens again, I'll provide the pcap.
Just read the article regarding buttons and switches, making it quite confusing for rarely users like me. Changed it to switches (as I don't need double press, long press or whatever). A switch is a switch, not a (non-latching)button, but thats just my thougts and confused me. Also the need need to have every single one configured is fine, but confused me.
Also had Client and Topic configured exactly identical, changed that in the MQTT config page and set topic to bewaesserung and Full Topic to %topic%/%prefix%/
The description here https://tasmota.github.io/docs/MCP230xx/#device-configuration confused me totally regarding how to handle it. If each of the MCP Pins is an input or an output, is given by the mcp23x.dat file, or via the Sensor29 command? Next confusion is in my head with https://tasmota.github.io/docs/_media/button-matrix.png I decoupled the inputs from the outputs by SetOption114, but this isn't in the table at all and does not have influence on it?
However: there was the SwitchMode 15 mentioned and that one seems to be better, until doing a restart...
After restart I now get on each press or release a toggle info via MQTT. How to come to the on/off instead of toggle message like it should be as SwitchMode15 is set?

14:04:22.829 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch7":{"Action":"toggle"}}
14:04:24.767 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch7":{"Action":"toggle"}}

14:04:27.518 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch6":{"Action":"toggle"}}
14:04:28.719 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch5":{"Action":"toggle"}}
14:04:30.221 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch5":{"Action":"toggle"}}
14:04:31.123 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch4":{"Action":"toggle"}}
14:04:32.922 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch4":{"Action":"toggle"}}
14:04:34.024 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch3":{"Action":"toggle"}}
14:04:35.575 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch3":{"Action":"toggle"}}

Thanks for being patient and your explanations. Sadly it's very confusing with all the SetOptions, SwitchModes, ButtonTopics, mcp file and so on at same time for me.

And another one: how to avoid a rest to defaults? I accidently reverted my config.... I have already

SetOption65 1
SetOption36 20
SetOption33 20 (even if this shouldn't happen)

but after some power interrupts (as interrupting power via fuse was quicker than making a restart via console/WebUI), settings were lost and I was in AP mode...

[sfromis]

SwitchMode is per channel, and when you said SwitchMode15, that is very different from SwitchMode 15. The first is just asking to see the SwitchMode setting for channel 15, while the latter is setting it to 15 for channel 1 (the default if not having a channel index).

If you want to update values for single channels, you could do a command like SwitchMode6 15 to set mode 15 for channel 6. Or SwitchMode0 15 for all channels, as described in the command docs for the SwitchMode command.

[Eisbahn]

THANKS
As I'm using the internal pullups and switching to GND, I used

SwitchMode0 16

and worked perfect.
Is there an option to get a single message if an input changed? Right now, all inputs are reported if a single one changed:

But this isn't critical, I could also parse it and check for changes.

or use your rule feature

Rule1
  ON switch1#state==1 DO publish cmnd/pumpe/status %value% ENDON
  ON switch2#state==1 DO publish cmnd/licht/status %value% ENDON
Rule1 1

Yes, you can stop using SwitchMode 16, but instead use SetOption114 with a suitable SwitchMode like 1 or 2.

THANKS

the SetOption114 was activated already before. Now I've set

19:18:18.476 CMD: SwitchMode0 2
19:18:18.484 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"SwitchMode":[2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2]}

and everything works as expected, every single button change is reported, no double or triple press is combined, every single state change is sent out individually:

19:06:49.532 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch1":{"Action":"on"}}
19:06:49.931 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch1":{"Action":"off"}}
19:06:53.431 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch3":{"Action":"on"}}
19:06:53.831 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch3":{"Action":"off"}}
19:06:56.833 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch2":{"Action":"on"}}
19:06:57.083 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch2":{"Action":"off"}}
19:06:57.583 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch2":{"Action":"on"}}
19:06:57.883 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch2":{"Action":"off"}}
19:06:59.584 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch1":{"Action":"on"}}

19:07:03.083 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch3":{"Action":"on"}}
19:07:03.183 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch3":{"Action":"off"}}

19:07:03.884 MQT: bewaesserung/stat/RESULT = {"Switch3":{"Action":"off"}}

Thanks a lot for your quick and fruitful help
