[RELEASE] Tasmota for HE - Auto-detecting Tasmota drivers + Tasmota firmware 7.x/8.x for HE (for use with Tuya, Sonoff and other ESP devices)

I have a couple of Sonoff's that are running Erics code. I upgraded one with the Tasmota HE code, and after uploading the file the web page said 'upload success' and it advertised the tasmota wifi, etc... all working.
My second one will copy the file - it counts to 100% but then does nothing. I've tried about 8 times. Any suggestions?

Also another question... I have 3 Feit bulbs with 8.3.1 - not the HE version. They work fine with HE, would you suggest I reflash them to the HE version? Thanks

It will, you can also use the "Send Command" action in the Parent to send whatever you want to Tasmota.

If it is just about getting commands sent from Smartthings directly, then no problem. If it needs updates sent back for commands issued outside of ST it would have to be through MQTT or you would need custom rules.

You probably have to change to the minimal version of that firmware (6.7.1?). Once on the minimal you can go for the full version of the target firmware.

If you want the state to be always correct in HE I would change them to my version, if that doesn't matter to you, then no need. It can make certain commands behave oddly when HE doesn't know the right state, but in general it should be fine.

Thanks, I just updated one of the Feit bulbs, and I see what you mean, it now instantly updates from when I web to it and change it as a test.

Awesome! Thanks so much for all you are doing!

@markus it still doesn’t work for me

What exactly doesn't work? What did you setup? Did you run "reset 5"?

@markus I ran reset 5, clicked disable MQTT, and changed the friendly name. I also set up the module configuration in the configure module section. I still can’t get it to report it’s values if changed manually.

Show me screenshots of Configuration and Configure Other, please.

Did you put in the IP address of your HE hub in the HE section of the config?

@markus

Is this what you wanted?

If I wanted to re-flash my H801 RBGW strips to Tasmota, is there a suggested path or firmware to use?

No, it's screenshots from the device webpage, in your case http://192.168.0.111. Inside Configuration and also inside the Configure Other page.
With that said, press the Refresh button on the device page. Either you have not installed my firmware, or you have not run Refresh or set up the device properly in some other way.

It looks like it requires serial flashing. This is a bit more detailed.

Yea, I think I just screwed one up. I sent it tasmota minimal and OTA and it counted to 100% then went offline and is not online anymore. I'll power cycle and if dead try to reflash via serial. Thanks

Never use Minimal unless you are already running Tasmota on a device, and then only Minimal of the same version you currently have. Over serial it will be fixed, no problem. Just run the latest 8.3.1 release directly. No need for Minimal.

Where is the refresh button in the tasmota ui?

The Refresh button is on the Device page inside HE. I do see now very clearly why you don't get any updates, you're not running my version of the firmware. It should say: "Tasmota 8.3.1 by Theo Arends & for Hubitat by markus-li"

@markus I didn’t realize that it didn’t upgrade the firmware. Now it works! Thank you so much!

@markus tried my second smart plug of the same brand.. did the same things... doesn’t work

What doesn't work?

@markus It doesn’t show a state change

Do you have the correct firmware, do you see the correct state on the Tasmota device webserver (not HE)? Did you press Configure in the Parent device?
