Can state_topic be updated from both tele and stat MQTT topics?

rocwhite168 opened this issue · 3 comments

The example configuration suggests state_topic: "tele/HVAC-1/RESULT" to update the state "when the tasmota device receives an IR signal (includes own transmission and original remote)". However, I found that the IR receiver is quite directional. It can receive signals from my remote pointing towards the AC but not from the IR emitter soldered side-by-side.

Would it be possible to make it so that the state is updated from both tele/HVAC-1/RESULT and stat/HVAC-1/RESULT?

I am rewriting the MQTT subscription process in the HA 2024.6.0 fix in #140, which will enable this request functionality.

Completed with d030012.

Starting from Tasmota-IRHVAC 2024.6.1, you can subscribe to both "tele" and "stat" messages. Try the following settings.

    state_topic: "tele/your_tasmota_device/RESULT"
    state_topic_2: "stat/your_tasmota_device/RESULT"
