This community is producing a lot of materials, including a lot of Youtube tutorials and very nice Wiki pages, contributing to adoption and success of Tasmota project.
Project is updated almost daily, exclusively by Theo himself, reworking some of the contributions from the developers community.Ĭommunity is very vivid and has a healthy mix of developers and “regular” uses that make sure firmware is generally usable. Officially, project started in January 2017, but it inherited a lot of assets from previous two incarnations, so we can say that project actually started as early as January 2016.Īs name suggests, it was originally built to replace stock firmware for early Iteads Sonoff devices, but it grew to a project that supports many more ESP8266 based boards with a lot of sensors not originally found on Sonoff products. Sonoff-Tasmota, standing for Theo- Arends- Sonoff- MQTT- OTA, came as an evolution of previous tinkering projects by Theo Arends. If you are a developer and would like to contribute to one of the projects, be sure to checkout (a bit outdated) Contributing comparison Firmware overview Sonoff-Tasmota
Best esp8266 firmware update#
This post is an overview and introduction into different options, with a very high-level comparison between them.īe sure to checkout update to this article, available in my 2020 update. In the next few blog posts, I’ll try to compare 3 most popular OpenSource firmware options from multiple angles, and hopefully help you decide which one to go with. Luckily, community took this issue in their hands, and over the course of year and a half, we saw 3 amazing OpenSource projects that are addressing this (and many other) issues. You are here because you are already aboard the Home IoT bandwagon, so I don’t need to explain how interesting, exciting and fun it is, but are also here because you are not happy with the stock firmware Chinese vendors are providing for many of the ESP8266 based devices.
