I actually got quite a bit of amount of steps going back and forth from the mailbox trying to get Tasmota to see the mailbox getting opened.
Recall I have these UNO boxes sensing 433Mhz
But recently moved to Tasmota
This new Tasmota system is better, but the older Uno are more established.
At least they all talk MQTT just that they have different protocols.
The uno simply sends what just sent a message, say FRONTDOOR or MAILBOX, the code has it preprogrammed in and makes it easier.
The Tasmota payload is a JSON structure. It works well with Python but I only need to know the data.
Anyway, tomorrow I will take a stab at converting the door script. Yesterday I mentioned how I was able to have python as a systemd unit (service)
I am also moving stuff out of my home to completely run in /opt.
Lot of changes.
