You can control the relay state via MQTT commands, quite literally how it is described in the "C005" controller documentation I linked. How do you need the relay state to be reported via MQTT? When it changes? I think it is by far the most elegant solution to act on changes via rules and ...

So would i have to add multiple tasks?

ie;

To recieve MQTT command from controller (Mosquitto set up on RPi)
To control relay On/Off (LC Tech Relay)
TO send On/Off Status via MQTT controller

Thank you again you beautiful human being!

I'm gonna start playing around with this. In the meantime, Any tips on configuration to work with MQTT?

Also, how can I configure it after I connect the module to my Wifi?

Did you select a build made for ESP8266?
Did you select a build for 1M flash size?

I've done all of these, great success!

Now I can connect to it via internet under "ESP-Easy", but whats the password?

YES, I'm connected! thank you!

So here is my first big brainfart, I'm getting a failed to initialize error.

I've got to do some troubleshooting. Any variant reccomendations for an ESP-01 to be controlled via MQTT?

Hmm I don't see any of those in my block list. Lots starting with 188. Anyway based on the time you posted your message I could see some attempts in the error.log file and removed those from my block list. Can you try again to see if the web flasher now works for you? (or at least is accessible) sa...

Can you send me the first 2 numbers of your IP-address? I have setup quite a large IP block list as I have about 3 TByte/month of incoming attack requests. But quite a lot of IP-blocks have been resold so it might be a bit too course and blocking non-hack attempts too. external ip? if so currently ...

Is there a different software that would be easier to use? The Web flasher at: https://td-er.nl/ESPEasy/ (From Chrome or Edge you can flash an ESP connected to your computer) I'm getting this error?; Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error wa...

I’ve been having trouble with the “Flash Download Tools” from Espressif.com but I guess I’ve been unsuccessful. Is there a different software that would be easier to use?

Also, I’ve been using this USB-Adaptor with the switch on the “UART” side. (İts the red one 32768635202.html)

Hi all, Sortof new to the hobby here but I have hit a wall with this one. I foud the two parts mentioned in the titleas a solution that works out of the box. I was hoping to control the relay via MQTT on NodeRED but I cant seem to get it to work. The LC-Tech board has its own firmware? When powered ...
