how to write my own module for tasmota

[app41]

I'd like to integrate some custom code in the Tasmota package. 

where can I find a guide to doing that without making reverse engineering of the whole code?

[Philip Knowles]

There isn’t a simple answer because it depends what you want to do. For instance, a lot of changes can be me made in the user config file (which is well documented) , but, if you want to make changes to a driver, etc it’s more complicated.

If you're using ESP32/ESP32C3/ESP32S2 you can take a look at the Berry language which allows you to do many things: writing a driver, enhancing the web UI...

Hello everyone...

I was lucky and got my fingers on an old atomi 1310 (the one with usb temp sensor) and was able to flash it with tasmota right away.

Update went fine to 10.x but blackadder only knows 2 atomi devices and both dont switch the outlet or show any info on the sensor.

Does anyone have seen or came along a single outlet plug with an usb temp sensor that might be working for mw template wise?

Device is atomi 1310

thank you all for your suggestions

I was expecting to find in Tasmota environment a guideline, written by the development team...

but it seems there isn't any

I spent last night understanding the flow of driver and sensor modules

I report these pages to start from:

https://tasmota.github.io/docs/API/

https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Sensor-API/

https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota/issues/1828

also, a problem is to use correctly all the functions already written in the tasmota core, I tried to make quick reverse engineering of an already existing driver, but comments in the code is usually very poor or missing

last but not least, I have still to set up the debug server to see and track what is happening

it is a pity that so good code is really poor for comments and documentation

the entrance barrier is really high and I suppose the platform is losing a lot of potential contributions

 

so my first conclusion is that tasmota is a very good tool to use, but not attractive for programming

Stephan, thank you for your hint about the berry module, really interesting

during the Xmas holidays I was really appreciating the new shelly javascript interpreter

good to see there is a similar option also here in tasmota

[Philip Knowles]

Remember that a lot of the drivers, etc are based on Arduino. If you don’t even explain what you are trying to achieve it’s very difficult for people to give you helpful suggestions as to where to start.

 

Help us to help you.
