Tasmota is an alternative open source firmware for devices based on ESP8266 and ESP32 chips. It enables easy configuration using a webUI, supports OTA (Over-The-Air) updates, and allows for automation using timers or rules. Tasmota provides entirely local control over various protocols like MQTT, HTTP, Serial, or KNX. It is designed to be incredibly expandable and flexible, supporting a myriad of features and peripherals like sensors and controllers. Due to flash size and memory constraints, not all features are included in precompiled binaries, sometimes requiring users to compile their own firmware to enable specific functionalities. Tasmota has a large and active community, with extensive documentation available.
PowerGate recognizes the versatility and widespread adoption of Tasmota in IoT and smart home applications. Our Tasmota developer experts can leverage this powerful firmware framework to build customized solutions for controlling and automating ESP-based devices. By harnessing Tasmota’s ease of configuration, local control capabilities, and expandability, we can create tailored firmware and integrated systems to meet specific client needs in smart automation, remote monitoring, and other IoT applications.
