HI. I use this sketch to my lisght but in Home Assistant it show me it as SWITCH. Is any chance to change it in mysensors sketch to show in Home Assisnatnt as LIGHT ?
Thanks for the response. Can you be more specific about how to request the status from the node?
My understanding is the request format is:
request (Child_ID, VariableType);
But if the Home Assistant entity that I want to request the status of is not a MySensors entity it will not have a Child_ID. So how do I format the request statement?
@Multimax do you send initial states for all children for this multi relay node? HA won't show anything that hasn't sent initial data to show.

What I did not try but might work: copy your persistence file, delete the old GW and create a new one with the persistence file you copied. Maybe the devices are preserved like this. Maybe you should create a full backup before...

Hi, friend!
He also became interested in the Home Assistant system, but was upset by the lack of support OTA.
I use a system Majordomo for MySensors devices and my Ethernet-RS485 gateways are based on ENC28J60.
And I found such an idea for myself - to implement a proxy for the TCP protocol in order to implement a parallel connection to the gateway of two systems at the same time.
I tested this solution and it turned out to work - I was able to flash via OTA , while simultaneously receiving data in Home Assistant.
Perhaps this idea will be of interest to you.
