You get full state information from the mcsmqtt plugin to homeseer. Example is I have a sonoff basic on my Verandah with one output, 1 button input, am2301 temp and humidity sensor.
The 1 button input toggles the output relay state. Its not a press button, its a rocker switch. When I change state of the switch, it will toggle the relay output (this is local to the tasmota firmware). It also sends a mqtt message to the broker which the homeseer plugin receives. Meaning any status change on the sonoff device gets sent to the broker and you simply subscribe to that channel.
Effectively you can switch the device both locally and via homeseer and have full state tracking....If the device looses the network and reconnects, it will send an update to Homeseer and update the state.
Best thing is to load tasmota onto a sonoff and then go to the sonoff console on the device and watch the traffic. You can customise a lot as to how often you send out updates etc (tele)
I have 3 basic sonoff units and 2xPOW using tasmota and mqtt.
I have just upgraded the arduino plugin and my Mega boards to latest BETA, I was thinking of using tasmota on led strips under hand rails in my stairwell but I am preferring to go with the Mega/Arduino plugin setup. Arduino plugin lets you create an RGB device, exactly what I wanted. Tasmota does it too but I jsut like the way Greig has implemented
