Tasmota: A C++ repository from shaarkys

Alternative firmware for ESP8266 based devices with easy configuration using webUI, OTA updates, automation using timers or rules, expandability and entirely local control over MQTT, HTTP, Serial or KNX. Written for Arduino IDE and PlatformIO.

If you like Tasmota, give it a star, or fork it and contribute!

See RELEASENOTES.md for release information.

In addition to the release webpage the binaries can also be downloaded from http://thehackbox.org/tasmota/release/

Development

See tasmota/_changelog.ino for detailed change information.

Unless your Tasmota powered device exhibits a problem or you need to make use of a feature that is not available in the Tasmota version currently installed on your device, leave your device alone - it works so don't make unnecessary changes! If the release version (i.e., the master branch) exhibits unexpected behaviour for your device and configuration, you should upgrade to the latest development version instead to see if your problem is resolved as some bugs in previous releases or development builds may already have been resolved.

The Tasmota development codebase is checked every 1-2 hours for changes. If new commits have been merged and they compile successfuly, new binary files for every variant (excluding non-English languages) will be posted at http://thehackbox.org/tasmota/ (this web address can be used for OTA updates too). The last compiled commit number is also indicated on the same page. It is important to note that these binaries are based on the current development codebase. These commits are tested as much as is possible and are typically quite stable. However, it is infeasible to test on the hundreds of different types of devices with all the available configuration options permitted.

Note that there is a chance, as with any upgrade, that the device may not function as expected. You must always account for the possibility that you may need to flash the device via the serial programming interface if the OTA upgrade fails. Even with the master release, you should always attempt to test the device or a similar prototype before upgrading a device which is in production or is hard to reach. And, as always, make a backup of the device configuration before beginning any firmware update.

Disclaimer

⚠️ DANGER OF ELECTROCUTION ⚠️

If your device connects to mains electricity (AC power) there is danger of electrocution if not installed properly. If you don't know how to install it, please call an electrician (Beware: certain countries prohibit installation without a licensed electrician present). Remember: SAFETY FIRST. It is not worth the risk to yourself, your family and your home if you don't know exactly what you are doing. Never tinker or try to flash a device using the serial programming interface while it is connected to MAINS ELECTRICITY (AC power).

We don't take any responsibility nor liability for using this software nor for the installation or any tips, advice, videos, etc. given by any member of this site or any related site.

Note

Please do not ask to add new devices unless it requires additional code for new features. If the device is not listed as a module, try using Templates first. If it is not listed in the Tasmota Device Templates Repository create your own Template.

Quick Install

Download one of the released binaries from https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota/releases and flash it to your hardware as documented in the wiki.

Important User Compilation Information

If you want to compile Tasmota yourself keep in mind the following:

Only Flash Mode DOUT is supported. Do not use Flash Mode DIO / QIO / QOUT as it might seem to brick your device.
Tasmota uses a 1M linker script WITHOUT spiffs 1M (no SPIFFS) for optimal code space.
To make compile time changes to Tasmota use the user_config_override.h file. It assures keeping your custom settings when you download and compile a new version. You have to make a copy from the provided user_config_override_sample.h file and add your setting overrides. To enable the override you have to set a compile define as documented in the user_config_override_sample.h file.

Configuration Information

Please refer to the installation and configuration articles in the wiki.

Migration Information

See wiki migration path for instructions how to migrate to a major version. Pay attention to the following version breaks due to dynamic settings updates:

Migrate to Sonoff-Tasmota 3.9.x
Migrate to Sonoff-Tasmota 4.x
Migrate to Sonoff-Tasmota 5.14
Migrate to Sonoff-Tasmota 6.7.1
Migrate to Tasmota 7.x
