Migrating to ESPHome from Tasmota

Yes, I have just done it. I was on Tasmota v12.3.1

I was scared that I will end up with similar situation as you’ve had so I have tried to downgrade first to v11.1 but this failed due to insufficient disk space.

I have done the following:

  • Tasmota console: SetOption78 1
  • Build as small ESPHome bin as possible (just a single basic switch.gpio). This resulted in quite big file 498kB
  • I have gzipped it with 7-zip and the result file was 345kB (I thought it will fail to upload as well but it didn’t!)

Looks like it worked. I was able to control the relay in my socket via exposed switch entity and I have successfully upladed new updates over the WiFi.

I hope you will fix your device somehow. Good luck!

Hi Maks,

did you try it on an ESP32?
Because:
This page is specific to ESP32 and variants (not applicable to ESP8266)

Oh I have missed that. I have done it on ESP8266 - sorry for confusion
