Flashing from Tasmota #40

Closed mrbrdo closed 5 months ago

mrbrdo commented 5 months ago

I have a zb-gw03 that came already flashed with Tasmota 13.2.0 (from Aliexpress). Can I flash esphome directly from the Tasmota firmware upgrade? If yes, perhaps it would be nice to add some short instructions for this case? As far as I read here, it seems flashing the zigbee module is also not necessary in this case.

Also if I can ask here - it seems most files are about 2 years old, were there no updates necessary? And are there any plans regarding the deprecation of ezsp?

Thanks

This is the official migration guide how to go from tasmota to ESPHome without soldering: https://esphome.io/guides/migrate_sonoff_tasmota.html

Most of the time a update of the zigbee firmware isn't needed but it depends of the already installed version.

There are no plans about the depreciation of ezsp yet.

Thanks for your answer. It seems ESPHome installation does not work with newer versions of Tasmota:

WARNING! Migrating via OTA on ESP32, from Tasmota v12 (with boot partition) and up is currently not possible! Trying it could soft-brick your device!

Unless this is old information? The current version of Tasmota is v14.

Hmm.. I wasn't aware of this detail. That's bad. In this case you have to open the device and solder some wires the UART interface of the ESP.
