Hi there s-hadinger I just turned the unit on after leavng it on dim green last night and powering off (but leaving TDM on). Here is the result of staus 0. [08:07:36] cmnd/h801/status 0 No rules, everything at defaults - not messedwith any controls or rules yet. if I can provide any moer info let me know as I could see this as very useful. I'm using 5050 strip, no W or WW, jst RSB, on a 6 amp PSU set to 12v out. Anything you want me to try, fire away. Pete |

To add to my woes... I upgraded to 7.1.2.4 just for the sake of it - and all the settings including EIFI went AWOL after powering off and on 4 times. The lights started flahing green. This is with a known good (large toroid) PSU able to output 6 amps at up to 60v, with a 12v, 2 amp limit set in place. Max strip consumption is 1.6 amps. I checked, the 801 unit was back to using it's own access point and had lost all the configuration. I put it back in and all is well. I wonder where these issues lie? |

I thought that was the default behaviour for H801 and it has been in the H801 article for ages. @scargill Power cycling your device 4 times in quick succession activates the Power cycle recovery |
|
It could well have been - I'm very new (as of yesterday) to the H801 and clearly not read everything there is to know about it. |
|
Could you please set |
|
Sure... powered up I put the weblog 4 into the console [16:00:16] cmnd/h801/weblog 4 I turned off - then on, [16:00:16] cmnd/h801/weblog 4 And I'm not usin MQTT - just the console - the flash is immediately the unt comes on. Hope that helps. And yes, the power supply is WELL able to handle the LEDs... Pete |

Hi, |
|
@scargill I have no clue what you are doing with your device, but it received 41 commands in less than 2 seconds. Your claim you are not using MQTT but it seems it is configured and connected: |
|
As previously stated, H801 flashing on power-up is due to the circuit design and cannot be corrected in Tasmota. This issue, on the virtue of being a non-issue, is now closed! |
|
Hey Peter, maybe you can find the solution in the technical details here: https://github.com/patrickjahns/esp_rgbww_controller Thats the controller that is working for me. |
|
Also feel free to contact me if you like. ;) |
|
Actually I think I found the issue. It looks like the PWM GPIOs are not initialized until Let me try a PR to force the PMW pins are low or high (for PMWi) at start. |
|
Apparently a wizard can fix it despite this being deemed impossible in previous issues edit: RIP! Only partially fixed it, still flashed on power cycle |
|
Hope you are right. It just reminded me of my garage door magically opening all by itself due to not so clever gpio init during startup after power loss... |
I'n not doing anything with MQTT on it. I do set up MQTT on all my devices then control them in Node-Red via the MQTT nodes but on this device so far all it is doing is setting up the MQTT user, IP, port and passwor details in the config. That's it. |
Thanks for that. As it happens I get PCB companies harrasssing me all the time for sponsorship andI keep telling them I only write about things I've tried personally - so getting some of those PCBs made would be no problem , but at end user prices by the time you get the ESP, the Mosfets, the large block whatever it is,, the connectors, any passives and put them in a suitably slotted box, interesting though it may be..... That H801 complete inc post was only £6 (7.12 Euros) from China. A shame if that flashing is unavoidable but thinkin about it, it is only when power is applied... if the power is there permanently and Tasmota turns the units on and off - maybe it is worth putting up with. |
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
In Tasmota the H801 controller flahes LEDS attached, briefly at full brilliance on powerup.

Hi guys
Simple one here, maybe I just need enlightening if this is not new. I just received an H801 controller from AliExpress and with a suitably powerful supply and 5m of 12v RGB LED STRIP, I went into the deep end and installed Tasmota (7.1.2 release). It works, no problem but opens 2 questions.
On powerup the LEDs flash brightly for an instant - is that within Tasmota's remit or an issue with the controller?
TDM (I know that's another subject but I'll mention it while I'm here)... RGB + brilliance is great - and easy (top left of TDM screen) - but annoying that when you change colour in TDM - the brilliance goes to hell and you have to set the latter again. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to mess with the hue and leave the brightness intact?
Just trying to get the best out of already brilliant software.
Regards
Pete
