Home Assistant Tasmota Integration (HOW-TO)

Home Assistant Tasmota #integration allows you to control Tasmotized Devices over MQTT without having to add a tone of YAML code.

#HomeAssistant is the best open source smart home hub and #Tasmota is the best open source firmware for ESP8266 and ESP8285 based IOT devices, so let's integrate them.

I searched long time how to do this and finally your tutorial makes it very simple. Thank you a lot!

[jcdock]

Everytime I search for how to do something with home assistant I always end up on your video! Keep up the good work!

[OlivierCourmontagne]

Execellent explanation, even now with totally different versions of HA, Tasmota and Mosquitto, it still works. Thank you Mr Peyanski ;)

Legend, i was on version 6 and i couldnt get MQTT working, then i tried to update over wifi and bricked it, then flashed it with jumpers and used this tutorial, very happy with the result, thank you

Thanks for mentioning the Tasmota firmware version 9.2 or higher, most other guides skip mentioning this. It led me in the right direction when working with some Costco Feit Electric BPA800/RGBW/AG/2P lights (flashed with TuyaConvert).

A few notes:
1. The lights reported "Tasmota 9.2.0 by Theo Arends" however, on closer inspection under information, it was this firmware type "9.2.0(lite)" which might have been part of my problem. I used the included "Firmware Upgrade" option and was taken to "Tasmota 11.0.0 by Theo Arends" (normal version, not light this time).

2. It just worked after the upgrade and command:
SetOption19 on
or
SetOption19 1

3. I'm guessing it changed at some point from 0/off for that option to 1/on to get the desired behavior.
4. Before the upgrade I could see the MQTT messages when subscribing to topic # for status and other items, however, there were no posts to the tasmota/discovery topic, which is why it was not working for me.

Hopefully it helps someone. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Thank a ton again..

[jasonw]

Thank you. This helped me configure the Athom smart mains sockets to work with Home Assistant 👍🏻

[sanjaybali]

I am thankful for you for making such great full videos for us. It was the only video that help me to find my devices. Thank you again.

[rambogarage]

You are really good at giving instruction. Thank you so much for making this video good sir.

[JohnMassaglia]

Thank you for the detailed instructions. I had looked at tutorials and couldn't figure out why my new switches wouldn't show up and then your video pointed out the firmware version requirement. I was only on 8.4.0 on my new Athom switches. I upgraded them and they showed up immediately.

[Timsin]

I LOVE YOU oh wow that was hard work trying to do it on my own - then watching this made it so much easier!

[HackingInfo]

so well explained and easy to understand🔥🔥

[MrChelseauk]

Thanks just used your guide Very easy to follow

[EsotericArctos]

Smashed the like for you :).
Tasmota is definitely one of the best Firmwares for ESP8266 / ESP32 based devices.
ESPHome would be very close with it. I tend to use Tasmota for off the shelf switches and the like, and ESPHome for home made/maker devices.

[tamirshapira]

Wonderful instructions!! Thank you so much. it was very helpful.

[MrElpresidente]

Thank you!! Easy to follow instructions. Much appreciated!

[SirRandallDoesStuff]

Thank's Man I set this up a few years ago. But I upgraded to a pi 4 and I forgot how to set up the device itself. This helped me get things back up and running.
