Flashing Sonoff Devices With Tasmota Gets Easier
Lucilla Argenbright
If you're intimidated by soldering there are 3D printed jigs available for different modules and devices. At worst, you could get away with holding the headers tightly with jumper wires in pin holes during flashing but it is not a foolproof process and flashing might fail.
The process of getting this new firmware onto our devices is called flashing. It takes a moment and some hardware but it is ultimately not very hard and gives you these sweet cheap and reliable devices. I will describe this process with the Sonoff Dual R2 but it works similarly with other devices.
Congratulations! You are now able to control pretty much everything in your household that is connected to mains power. Reliable, local and for cheap! Start flashing devices with Tasmota and have fun.
Tuya-Convert is a very easy method of flashing your esp8266 based smart bulbs with custom firmware, so that you can remove the need for your IoT devices to speak to Chinese cloud servers and allows you to integrate with Home Assistant, OpenHAB or Domoticz.
