Tasmota Reviews and details

• Replace Philips Hue Automation with Home Assistant's

  Everything works pretty flawlessly with it. Conbee 2 ist still my current stick because I am experimenting with the Matter/Thread Support on the Home Assistant Yellow, sadly without success though. My best recommendation if you want to tinker with smart devices is get anything that you can flash Tasmota on.

• Printing emails based on Message Filters, does not seem possible

  All of my office devices are connected to Sonoff S31 smart plugs, flashed with Tasmota on their own locked-down VLAN, and can be controlled via voice, Alexa, Tasker automation on my Android, NFC tags at my office door and various scripts triggered via my StreamDeck (on Linux). This all works fantastic, and I can turn on or off my devices, including my printer, when I start or end my day at work. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: I’m an FCC Commissioner proposing regulation of IoT security updates

  The best alternative firmware example for true IOT devices is Tasmota [1]. Erase manufacturer firmware for every ESP devices the day after purchase to avoid those careless manufacturer firmwares. [1] https://tasmota.github.io/docs/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Sonoff smart plugs

  The ESP8266 based Sonoff S31 and ESP32 based Switchbot plugs, both flashed with either Tasmota or ESPHome, are my go-to options for US WiFi smart plugs with power monitoring. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Add $4 WiFi Logging to IKEA’s $12 Air Quality Sensor (Wemos and Vindriktning)

  And if you want to turn your ESP8266 into a standalone appliance, with a web interface and directly editable config that doesn't need a build step, Tasmota is another great option. https://tasmota.github.io/docs/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• OpenMQTTGateway v1.6.0 released

  Go to your gateway IP and type admin/OTAPASSWORD . The password can be changed from the Wifi Manager portal. Thanks, @NorthernMan54, for this add and to Tasmota as they inspired this feature and the code. Note that the WebUI is unavailable with the Theengs plug in this version. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Custom on off times/Api

  Setting two on/off cycles with 50 discrete schedules seems like a very inefficient way of doing this when the same thing could be accomplished with two rules. Any compatible device flashed with Tasmota or similar FOSS firmware would make this possible. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Smart Plug schedule that works without Wifi connection

  Tasmota would probably be an easier option for someone just getting started with the FOSS options, wouldn't require any programming, and can even be purchased preflashed on devices like these. Source: almost 2 years ago

• WiFi Pool Timers with manual operation

  With an inductive load and 20A rating, most consumer grade smart devices won't cut it here. Suraielec and Dewenwils have some WiFi options, and can be flashed to ESPHome or Tasmota if you don't want your irrigation system dependent on a cloud connection. Using one of those options, once you load your schedule, it's saved on the device itself, so even if it loses WiFi connectivity, it will still run the schedule. Source: almost 2 years ago

• How can I open a garage door securely from the outside, without WiFi or a keypad/remote?

  A Shelly 1 would be close to an out-of-the-box solution for this. It can be powered from a 12V wall wart power supply, and its relay can be wired up to the wall panel input on your opener. ESP32s are also a common board for projects like this. Tasmota is a good firmware that can run its own web interface and WiFi AP on that board. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Needs lights in all of my rooms, HELP!

  One last option is using Tasmota flashed devices and Device Groups. By grouping devices together, they all switch as a group. You can group smartbulbs, switches, smartplugs, or even relays together. When you turn the switch on/off, all the plugs in the group follow. You can even customize the group controls (ie, switch turns everything on/off, but if you toggle individual lights, the whole group doesn't follow... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Using a temp probe to change strip colour

  This could absolutely be achieved using an ESP8266, but something like Tasmota or ESPHome might be a better platform to start with. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Can I convert an existing switch to wirelessly control an outlet?

  Another option would be two Tasmota flashed devices (switch + plug or relay + plug), using device groups to sync them. Video here. The video was mainly geared toward switch + bulb syncing, but would work the same with a switch/relay + plug combo. Martin Jerry, Cloud Free, and a few others offer several options preflashed with Tasmota. Again, no hub or additional hardware required. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Looking for a few products and ideas Lighting/Plugs mostly.

  Tuya devices, and the Tuya-based Monster, Greeni, etc stuff can be connected to HA using the Tuya Integration, or converted to local-only using Tuya Cloudcutter and connected to HA using Local Tuya, or even flashed with Tasmota, ESPHome/Libre Tiny, or OpenBeken. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Big-OS Processes On Little-OS ESP32

  I just took a look at these, and AppStory and Tasmota. Both appear to be focused on easy the firmware-update process using a user-facing tool that has a GUI. My own project, by contrast is one where the programmer, writing his/her own app for ESP32, gets a library that allows his/her code to connect to another computer, somewhere on the Internet, securely (and while the second computer is in motion, as in a car).

• Requesting advice for integrating low voltage lighting with smart home (see comment)

  If you're the DIY type, you could probably use an 8-ch relay board (something like this) flashed with Tasmota and tie into the LV side for smart control. Source: about 2 years ago

• I'm looking for a way to control a bunch of servo motors through homebridge

  Tasmota is very well documented and can be easily flashed using any computer with a USB interface. Source: about 2 years ago

• Seeking Reasonably Priced Smart Button/Switch for Lights for New House

  The best option I've found for this so far is wifi light switches reflashed with tasmota or esphome. The intention would be to have them join an MQTT service, talking to home-assistant. Source: about 2 years ago

• Turn on/off Tuya smart plug with ESP32

  There are also de-clouding firmwares such as tasmota. Source: about 2 years ago

• ESP32 Buyer’s Guide: Different Chips, Firmware, Sensors

  Thanks for the article. I really enjoy using ESP32 devices in Home Assistant with ESPHome. > [ESPHome] add-on allows you to manage and program your ESP8266 and ESP32 based microcontrollers directly through Home Assistant with no programming experience required. All you need to do is write YAML configuration files; the rest (over-the-air updates, compiling) is all handled by ESPHome.

• Adding gpio to control printer psu... with klipper on linux pc

  Tasmota is available here https://tasmota.github.io/docs/ it's a lot simpler than the docs make out and has its own web UI built in as well. I have some connected to alexa using smartlife. Source: over 2 years ago
