PowerOnState
PowerOnState Functionality~
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
PowerOnState | Control relay state after powering up the device.0 / OFF = keep relay(s) OFF after power up 1 / ON = turn relay(s) ON after power up 2 / TOGGLE = toggle relay(s) from last saved state 3 = switch relay(s) to their last saved state (default) 4 = turn relay(s) ON and disable further relay control 5 = after a PulseTime period turn relay(s) ON (acts as inverted PulseTime mode) |
The PowerOnState device configuration parameter is applied when the device is initially powered up. It does not apply to device warm restarts.
To lock the power state in its current setting you can use PowerLock followed by the number of relay you want to lock. The value 0|1 defines the state locked|unlocked. The PowerOnState always has a higher priority than the PowerLock.
Tasmota tracks the relays' state in a masked variable. A set bit (1) means the corresponding relay is turned ON. The associated GPIO state will be high or low according to whether the relay is configured as Relay<x> or Relay<x>i. Every command for setting the relay state is "recorded" in the variable and saved to flash (depending on SetOption0). The setting of the relay GPIO is then executed.
After a warm restart, the mask variable is re-initialised with the saved state from flash and the relay(s) set to that state. PowerOnState is not executed. During any a device restart, the relay power feedback state is scanned according to the setting of SetOption63. Scanning the relay state attempts to READ from GPIOs that are configured as relays, i.e., OUTPUTS! The result will not always be what is expected as it depends on how the device relays are wired to the GPIO. SetOption63 was introduced to make this scan optional. With SetOption63 set to 0 (the default), each GPIO assigned as a Relay<x> or Relay<x>i is scanned using 'digitalRead'. The mask variable will be updated with the detected values. The state of the relay(s) will not be changed. READING from an OUTPUT GPIO may result in the mask value being different from the state the relays are in. Thus, SetOption63 was introduced to disable the startup scan for devices where the scan leads to undefined results.
SetOption63 is executed after PowerOnState or restart initialization.
