About Tasmota
Tasmota's treadmill keeps turning: BTHome, a Matter thermostat and another Shelly emulation
v15.6.0 Sylvie continues the two-monthly release rhythm and is another breadth release. BLE BTHome support arrives in the bluetooth binary, Shelly Pro 2PM emulation is added for ESP32, and Matter picks up a virtual IR HVAC thermostat. Around them sit the usual mix: TLS support for the EC P-384 curve, a configurable MagicSwitch masking window that fixes false triggering, extra ESP-Now remote buttons, and Berry and HASPmota additions including an LVGL stripes widget.
