The time has come to... Tasmotize! ESP... The time has come to... Tasmotize! Contribute to tasmota/tasmotizer development by creating an account on GitHub. Read the readme, and Also read up here on Tasmota itself. There is a lot of commands and literature you should familiarize yourself with. (I still don’t know it all but I have saved my questions from forums) A lot of People have taken there time to help me along the way so I hope this helps you as well. Tasmota Documentation - Tasmota Open source firmware for ESP devices with easy configuration using webUI, OTA updates, automation using timers or rules, expandability and entirely local control over MQTT, HTTP, serial or KNX.

Now itR… here is link for the i2c and temp sensor firmware. However you have to install minimal Tasmota first then you can update with this one. Download it to download folder then you select open file in tasmotizer and select it. tasmotai2c.bin Google Drive file.

I wanted to get it started ill be adding more to here as I get it written up. if you have questions Pm me and ill start a question topic linked to here. that way i can add the next steps without it being confusing for anyone.

this was the original post where i asked for help and learned to use tasmota. [image] Esp8266 and multiple ds18b20's with mqtt General Ok i have been going through the forums. i find plenty on how to use multiple ds18b20s, using a specific node. but as most forums suggest node red crashes. so im trying to use them now on an esp8266, i have been all over trying to get my temps to be reliable enough for temp control but until i have the temps displaying in chart and a gauge without crashing node red i cant move on to next stage of my flows. I have no programming training. my only source is copy and past and tweaking somethin…

Nice one paying back to the community for all the help you were given when starting out - great work Craig

more coming , I plan on flashing an esp8266 with tasmota, taking pictures step by step , and how get to the end result with the proper flash that allows i2c, and the ds18b20's. as well as wiring and setting up the tasmota esp device.

Installing Tasmota with the webbrowser is much easier then Tasmotizer. https://tasmota.github.io/install/ Works only with Chrome or Edge.

I agree with @edje11 about the web browser installation, it's really astonishingly simple and successful for an esp development board (by which I mean one with usb connection, eg nodemcu, Witty Cloud, Adafruit feather). I put Tasmota on "Witty Cloud" esp12 boards using Chrome on my Windows PC.

Yes I agree, however the esp8266 that I had purchased didn't work that easy

here is another tool in flows about tasmota and node red. [image] node-red-contrib-tasmota Node-RED integration for Tasmota flashed devices

Probably worth mentioning for United Kingdom users that when using the webbrowser install, that the firmware version Tasmota UK in the drop-down is Ukrainian. (I know from experience :astonished:) Just select the English version.
