Travis, This is a(nother) great video from you! Some YT videos grow stale/outdated over time when additional functionality is introduced to Tasmota. A good refresher every once in a while is always welcome, and helps get new folks into Tasmota (and out of the cloud). ;-) Now I've got some SO13's to check. P.S., Always love the outros with OG!
Awesome, thank you! I need some new footage with the OG! Thankfully it is getting a little cooler to get out and do some fun stuff for some more outro footage.
Hello, I know this is an old video. But I just purchased a Tasmota plug, and I've been looking all over how to configure settings to reboot my cox modem when data stops, causing me to reboot manually.
Thanks. I will probably do something with this in the future. With domoticz ;). Its what i use. Great to see that i can directly configure the settings now.
This is fantastic intro/primer! Please please please do a setup for the Shelly Dimmer2! Shelly products in general are just so great. I'd love to step up the power. Keep on keepin' on. I finally subbed.
Man I've been waiting for you to do the cool stuff! :) HA. I've got a few Shelly devices, indeed they are cool for their various use cases. I have the first model Shelly Dimmer still when I bought the first revision, not sure if the setup would be the same?
That was the Glow Lamp I did the transplant on in the ESP32-C3 video. The ESP32-C3 has some great hardware dimming plus bluetooth scanning in it. th-cam.com/video/YjKEpQDj8S0/w-d-xo.html
I have a Tuya dual channel relay board v 2.2.1, ESP8285. I have watched your video but I am missing the part about the USB connection to the PC so I can run Tasmota via the browser. Can you point me to the video or part where you explain how to connect my board to the PC (or even better, OTA)? I also watched your Raspberry Pi OTA video. I can do that if I have to, but I am looking for your confirmation. Thanks!
With the web flasher, you do not need to select a ESP32 binary, if you just select "Tasmota", it will automatically detect ESP32 and use the appropriate tasmota32 binary.
No you do need to select which build of Tasmota you want. There are a few, Tasmota for ESP8266, Tasmota32 for ESP32, etc. Then there is also the newer ESP32 chips such as the Solo and C3.
@@digiblurDIY You cannot select if you want tasmota.bin or tasmota32.bin. The architecture is automatically detected, and you get the one to match. Like if you select the Spanish-language build, this will be tasmota-ES.bin or tasmota32-ES.bin, depending on your hardware. I'm very well aware of the details, and when you at all see "Tasmota32" in the long dropdown, it is for builds only existing for ESP32, or a few variations for ESP32 like C3. Otherwise, the dropdown would be much longer 😃
Hello Travis, I have a DIY Relay board using a ESP32 and all works well, The Only place I can't understand is how to get the WiFi Manager ON with the button press on GPIO0. Can I disconnect GPIO0 from the relay.
Good stuff Travis. I have been watching your videos for a long time and have learned a lot from you about tasmota, ,tasmota rules, flashing light switches and outlets and integrating everything into node red, thanks. But I want to do something a little different, I want to monitor limit switches on a CNC machine I am building and I would like to send their status through mqtt. I have a Esp8266 nodemcu programmed with tasmota and four GPIOs configured as switches and two as relays. The relays work fine through mqtt but operating the limit switches doesn’t send anything via mqtt. Any help would be greatly appreached, Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing you knowledge with the world
Sounds like an awesome project! So the switches should be independent of the relays(outputs) right? If you have them set as switches, use SetOption114 1 to decouple the switches from the relays. This will cause them fire off MQTT messags in JSON, you'll see it on the console. Don't forget to set your switchmode1 and switchmode2. There's also some ways to do this with rules as well. Let me know if you need more help with it.
@@digiblurDIY Hey Travis. I really appreciate the fast response and you were righton on what needed to be configured. I got my Nodemcu working perfectly Thanks Dan
Hello, I know this is an old video. But I just purchased a Tasmota plug, and I've been looking all over how to configure settings to reboot my cox modem when data stops, causing me to reboot manually.
Thank you for the video, I have used Sonoff S2 before, but the cable connections are very poor so you have to fit it in a secure box with proper cable glands to make it childproof, so I am going to make my own with ESP8266-01 module plus relay plus 220v to 5 volt converter and 5volt to 3.3 volt supply, then I can use a secure box with glands, I know you love HA but for me, it is overkill as I only want to switch lights on off or on and only about 10 switches will do, so my question is can I just use Tasmota with my phone or tablet to control my lights? Any help would be good thanks Bob in the UK
Hi Travis, regarding router, I'm using a TP-Link Archer C6 with two r300 mesh repeaters. Have around 35 devices managed on HA and I feel there is drops in the connections. Maybe a short video could be good to now the minimum specs that a router need to have to manage an iot house. Thanks and great video as always
@@digiblurDIY So you think is more a repeater issue rather than a router with one core ~700Mhz managing all the connections? Thanks for the quick reply
I don't have experience with that model but I have with other repeaters and it just caused too many issue with the various devices. A true mesh managed system is a little better but of course an access point system makes it really solid.
You can use it with an external BLE module and the esp8266 but with how readily available the esp32 chips are and have internal Bluetooth I would use those. I will show some of that in a future one on this.
Besides the Energy monitoring stuff it has been a while since I've done one on ESPHome. I usually only do my little sensor builds with it, like motion sensors with temperature sensors type things. Prebuilt simple devices usually get Tasmota due to the simpler deployment. I'll definitely look at some projects to see what I can do.
@@digiblurDIY i really appreciate you take your time to address the ppl who follow your work 👍 I'm using the integration and most of the device is added automatically. Apart from that, the documentation also indicates that custom sensors won't be added automatically (like it used to do in previous versions with the autodiscovery setoption19 1). A bit more context, I'm using a Sonoff SV with the current Tasmota firmware, also connected a read switch (binary switch) with the intention of controlling a garage door and the door open/close state. I have donde the necessary Tasmota settings to control both the relay and the read switch (GPIO14) independently and both post Independent MQTT messages to home assistant but i haven't found a video dumbed down enough to understand the yaml code and the MQTT binary sensor attributes and syntax to register the sensor as part of the same device but also as an independent entity so i can develop future automation based on the read switch state. I can always downgrade the Tasmota version and use autodiscovery but i really want to get into yaml so i can expand my capabilities with home assistant. Thanks again.
Hi very popular in the UK gas boiler heating control .a company called hive are offering a subscription.based package to control from your smartphones whist out of your home . These packages are extremely expensive . Is it possible to do with tasmota or flash a existing products for remote heating control . Also very interested in energy monitoring on the breaker panels with multiple channels for each circuit breakers much like the smart meters /monitors the energy compilation use . Thanks
Is there a single gang ceiling fan controller that can be flashed with tasmota? The ceiling fan in my bedroom is controlled by a slider switch (that does high, med, low and off) and the light on it is controlled by another separate switch. I just leave the pull cord on the fan on high and then the speed is controlled at the wall. Looking for the same thing, only want it controlled by tasmota.
@@digiblurDIY I do have use for one like that, that does both the light and fan. But I am looking for one that does fan only. My bedroom has two separate switches, one to control the fan and a dimmer to control the light. I’ve already made my dimmer smart. I just need to make the fan control smart as well.
They do make a single fan control of that same brand but it would require an ESP transplant. They also have a new MJ Fan controller that I did a live stream transplant and figuring it out on a few weeks ago.
I have never used tasmota before I recently purchased a esp8266 with the 5 volt relays on the board I was wondering what version I would use for this I use arduino but this device wont flash with arduino ide alone .thanks for any help.
Apart from the useful refresher aspect for us advance (?) enthusiasts, this video fills that critical gap where I don't have to hand-hold my pals who pester me - "Hey Seth, when are your teaching me Tasmoto"!! I can just hand-hold there wives while they watch this video! Super Useful! BTW, the OG warning is what forced me to like this video...twice ;-)
Hey Yo Travs! After watching this, I remember having a sonoff wifi smart switch sitting in the cupboard for a long time doing nothing. Took it out and seems like it was set to connect my old SSID. This is one of the very first one that has basic relay and wifi. and I think I used tasmotizer to flash it in the past. Is the only way to factory reset this by going through the tasmotizer process again? can't seems to factory reset it by switching it on/off 4 times like the power plugs. what's best easiest way to factory reset this bugger? cheers bud.
If you did setoption65 1 then you disabled the recovery feature and if wificonfig 2 wasn't set then you would need to make that same ssid to recover it or connect to it via serial.
@@digiblurDIY Thanks Travs. I did the tasmotizer on this and managed to flashed it back to 9.0. But when I did the OTA upgrade 11, it broke again. So I tasmotized it to 11, but as soon as I tried to join to my SSID, it broke again. do you think I might have a dud here?
Hi. Could you please help me. How do I do this on smart socket? Brand is Ulink with 4 plugs and usb. I saw someone was able to tastomize it. I think the chipset is esp8266. Do I need to open the case first? Do I need an adaptor or anything to send the new firmware to the plug? Do I unplug the whole socket before doing this? Do I need to solder? Do I need raspberry pi which I dont have? How to do this on hardware side? No one is explaining. All focus is on software side. I can send you the pic on how he did it can you explain it for me. It seems some usb were inserted. Oh btw, does it matter if the plug is already connected to tuya app?
Did you try Tuya Convert on it? If you want some easy ones. Check out the preflashed or Switchbot ota ones. digiblur.com/wiki/devices/esp-flashable-devices
@@digiblurDIY No. I read from his review tuya convert didn't work but tasmotize did. What I don't understand is the hardware part. Do I need to purchase something in order to be able to flash the new firmware? It's not clear. I don't have a background in touching inside of electronics or soldering.
@@digiblurDIY The image wont post. Can you kindly go to imgur and after com part kindly paste /a/mvVIzbY please. Can you help me with this device socket. I cant figure out the parts he used. Is that M-M jumper or F-M? Do I need to press a button while inserting the last pin? I saw someone did it on other type of device. Im not sure if there is one on this device. My plan is to buy breadboard and M-M pin. Insert these four ground vcc tx rx into breadboard. Insert the other end to ftdi 232. Then the power supply will come from the usb port in the PC? If ftdi I bought is using usb does it mean I need to use usb to usb cable to connect to pc? Can I use virtual linux on windows OS? Am I understanding this right? Thanks.
my fans were working great with Alexa, but I recently updated my iFan03's to 9.5 and my HA to 2021.10.4 and now my Alexa app won't recognize my fans of the iFan03 only the light. i downgraded tp 9.3.1 on tasmota but that didn't help. I disabled all domains except fans in the manage entities in Nabu Casa Alexa, and nothing ever showed up. once I enabled lights and doors, etc those entities show up, but not the fans. Are there certain settings or setoptions I should enable to make the fans work?
@@digiblurDIY Check mark on all those 3. I migrated away from YAML almost as soon as the tasmota beta came out. the fans used to show up on my alexa app, but early this week i upgraded all my tamota devices to 9.5 and I also upgraded my HA to 2021.10.4 and now none of my iFans show up. is there like a cache I can delete, maybe my fans are stuck in limbo and they won't upload to Alexa.
@@digiblurDIY I just upgraded to HA 2021.10.5 and tried a bunch of different Tasmota firmwares from 9.1.X to 9.3.X and 9.5.0.9 and nothing, fans will not upload to the Alexa app. Good thing Siri has no issue, but I’ve gotten really used to Alexa
@@digiblurDIY Found a work around. I enabled the emulated_hue in configuration.yaml and exposed the Fan domain and entities. Still, Alexa recognized them as LIGHTS!!! Better than nothing, so I just set up 15 different routines(5 iFan03 in my home) as "Set Living Room Fan to..." "low" "medium" and "high" routines to set the "light brightness" to 25% 50% and 100%. What a pain, but it only has to be done once and at this point I don't have any other choice.
Great info, but actually for at least 5 videos. I've been in IT for many years, and I see the same problem here too. A vast amount of knowledge, but you leave out stuff that is essential. So in the end, the video turns out to be not usable until I find more basic info.
Arrrrhhhhhggg For the Love of God stop pronouncing 'solder' as 'soda'. Soda is a carbonated drink or a a sodium carbonate/bicarbonate, the clue is in the spelling - specifically in the 'L' Solder, like Soldier, but with a 'd' sound instead of 'j'. While I'm correcting pronunciation America...... the element with atomic number 13 is called Aluminium. You don't get to simply remove a syllable from a word just because you want to. It's al-you-min-E-um !
how detailed can you get in the programing? Can you copy all the preset values of say a rgbw lightglobe and flash them to a tasmota chip? Or after installing a chip, do u have to configure every action and try to simulate the original coding, but you never will gain all functions?? I have 60 devices,using smartlife, mirabella genio, ewelink, magichome and broadlink. Could I replicate all these? Do I need to put home assistant on a raspberry pie first? I have the Windows homelink version, but I know its not good enough to run homelink properly. I want to learn this stuff, at least I can solder, lol.
@@digiblurDIY hi, just a lightbulb hey, lol. Ok my globes do colours, brightness, factory preset scenes like gradual change, crossfade, jumping change, flash in time with music, flash from using phone mic, capture colours from phone camera and of course grouping. Thats why I ask can you copy the original factory compile, because its so complex. Or am I picking through each "function" from finding its script? And f you reprogram, will most functions, still work with alexa? And what about temp/humidity sensors? I have smartlife ones controlling smartlife plugs. I also have these plugs configured to turn on and some off depending on temp/humidity. Can everything be replicated once you convert it to tasmota??? What are the limitations? As you can see, my light globes and led strips go deep in the coding. Regards.
@@digiblurDIY cmon man, your not answering my questions. See if I like it you say. But what am I going to like? The fact I can or cant replicate what I already have? Is there a way to copy a factory compile, edit the ownership and then inject into tasmota or is everything going to be genesis reprogramming, if someone hasnt already compiled it to copy? To take ownership is simply its own compartment, redirecting the server side isnt it? Or will the factory scripts be entangled with factory server handshakes for the functions to work?

@@digiblurDIY No. I read from his review tuya convert didn't work but tasmotize did. What I don't understand is the hardware part. Do I need to purchase something in order to be able to flash the new firmware? It's not clear. I don't have a background in touching inside of electronics or soldering.
@@digiblurDIY The image wont post. Can you kindly go to imgur and after com part kindly paste /a/mvVIzbY please. Can you help me with this device socket. I cant figure out the parts he used. Is that M-M jumper or F-M? Do I need to press a button while inserting the last pin? I saw someone did it on other type of device. Im not sure if there is one on this device.
My plan is to buy breadboard and M-M pin. Insert these four ground vcc tx rx into breadboard. Insert the other end to ftdi 232. Then the power supply will come from the usb port in the PC? If ftdi I bought is using usb does it mean I need to use usb to usb cable to connect to pc? Can I use virtual linux on windows OS? Am I understanding this right? Thanks.
if i install tasmota on sonoff bridge pro will my aqara p1 sensor works on my sonoff without needing to buy the aqara hub?
I would suggest a usb or ethernet adpater for use with Home Assistant
my fans were working great with Alexa, but I recently updated my iFan03's to 9.5 and my HA to 2021.10.4 and now my Alexa app won't recognize my fans of the iFan03 only the light. i downgraded tp 9.3.1 on tasmota but that didn't help. I disabled all domains except fans in the manage entities in Nabu Casa Alexa, and nothing ever showed up. once I enabled lights and doors, etc those entities show up, but not the fans. Are there certain settings or setoptions I should enable to make the fans work?
I would make sure you are using the ifan03 module and use the Tasmota HA integration along with 9.5 and the latest HA
@@digiblurDIY Check mark on all those 3. I migrated away from YAML almost as soon as the tasmota beta came out. the fans used to show up on my alexa app, but early this week i upgraded all my tamota devices to 9.5 and I also upgraded my HA to 2021.10.4 and now none of my iFans show up. is there like a cache I can delete, maybe my fans are stuck in limbo and they won't upload to Alexa.
@@digiblurDIY I just upgraded to HA 2021.10.5 and tried a bunch of different Tasmota firmwares from 9.1.X to 9.3.X and 9.5.0.9 and nothing, fans will not upload to the Alexa app. Good thing Siri has no issue, but I’ve gotten really used to Alexa
@@digiblurDIY Found a work around. I enabled the emulated_hue in configuration.yaml and exposed the Fan domain and entities.
Still, Alexa recognized them as LIGHTS!!!
Better than nothing, so I just set up 15 different routines(5 iFan03 in my home) as "Set Living Room Fan to..." "low" "medium" and "high" routines to set the "light brightness" to 25% 50% and 100%. What a pain, but it only has to be done once and at this point I don't have any other choice.
Sooo... I need a computer now !?
No.
@@digiblurDIY just kidding !!!
I don't understand why they don't sell a host hob with all the cloud functions so we don't have to depend on internet connection.
Great info, but actually for at least 5 videos. I've been in IT for many years, and I see the same problem here too. A vast amount of knowledge, but you leave out stuff that is essential. So in the end, the video turns out to be not usable until I find more basic info.
OK. Probably not much applies due to the HA integration now.
There is nothing little about the documentation.. just saying ,
it feature rich
It's amazing what they packed into this little bin file for firmware.
Arrrrhhhhhggg For the Love of God stop pronouncing 'solder' as 'soda'. Soda is a carbonated drink or a a sodium carbonate/bicarbonate, the clue is in the spelling - specifically in the 'L' Solder, like Soldier, but with a 'd' sound instead of 'j'. While I'm correcting pronunciation America...... the element with atomic number 13 is called Aluminium. You don't get to simply remove a syllable from a word just because you want to. It's al-you-min-E-um !
I definitely don't say soda. Rare I would ever say that. It's coke. Lol
how detailed can you get in the programing? Can you copy all the preset values of say a rgbw lightglobe and flash them to a tasmota chip? Or after installing a chip, do u have to configure every action and try to simulate the original coding, but you never will gain all functions?? I have 60 devices,using smartlife, mirabella genio, ewelink, magichome and broadlink. Could I replicate all these? Do I need to put home assistant on a raspberry pie first? I have the Windows homelink version, but I know its not good enough to run homelink properly. I want to learn this stuff, at least I can solder, lol.
what functions? It's just a lightbulb.
@@digiblurDIY hi, just a lightbulb hey, lol. Ok my globes do colours, brightness, factory preset scenes like gradual change, crossfade, jumping change, flash in time with music, flash from using phone mic, capture colours from phone camera and of course grouping. Thats why I ask can you copy the original factory compile, because its so complex. Or am I picking through each "function" from finding its script? And f you reprogram, will most functions, still work with alexa? And what about temp/humidity sensors? I have smartlife ones controlling smartlife plugs. I also have these plugs configured to turn on and some off depending on temp/humidity. Can everything be replicated once you convert it to tasmota??? What are the limitations? As you can see, my light globes and led strips go deep in the coding. Regards.
I would try with a test device to see if you like it.
@@digiblurDIY cmon man, your not answering my questions. See if I like it you say. But what am I going to like? The fact I can or cant replicate what I already have? Is there a way to copy a factory compile, edit the ownership and then inject into tasmota or is everything going to be genesis reprogramming, if someone hasnt already compiled it to copy? To take ownership is simply its own compartment, redirecting the server side isnt it? Or will the factory scripts be entangled with factory server handshakes for the functions to work?
I don't use the cloud stuff so I have no experience with stock firmware.
