Open-source firmware for ESP-based smart home devices

tasmota.github.io/docs ↗

Tasmota 16 adds optional MQTT 5.0 and DALI-2 commissioning for lighting control.

◆Current state
v16.0.0 Theo landed in mid-October. It adds optional MQTT 5.0 focused on request and response, initial ESP32-S31 and ESP32-C61 support, and DALI-2 device commissioning, input events and push-button bindings. HVAC work is also heavy, with a MiELHVAC web panel, Modbus RTU slave and Home Assistant discovery.
◆Where it's heading
The major number doesn't change the release's character: breadth remains the product. Two threads stand out from the driver list. Building-automation protocols are getting deeper support, with DALI-2, Modbus and OpenTherm's second heating circuit, and MQTT 5.0 updates the core messaging layer for the first time in these entries.
◆Prediction
Expect the next release in about two months with further DALI-2 and Berry work, and fuller ESP32-S31 support, since the current support is labeled initial.

    v16.0.0 adds MQTT 5.0, ESP32-S31 and DALI-2 commissioning

    A major version with optional MQTT 5.0, new ESP32 variants, DALI-2 commissioning and bindings, and MiELHVAC controls. It continues the breadth rhythm of earlier releases, but the protocol additions go deeper than the usual sensor batch.

    Tasmota v15.6.0 Sylvie

    Another breadth release on the two-monthly rhythm: BLE BTHome support in the bluetooth binary, Shelly Pro 2PM emulation for ESP32, and a Matter virtual IR HVAC thermostat. The Matter and emulation items are the ones that matter beyond driver count, since both let Tasmota present hardware it controls to an ecosystem that would not otherwise see it.

    Tasmota v15.4.0 Sybil

    Introduces an ARCH key in device templates spanning eleven ESP variants, and redesigns the ESP8266 I2C Wire driver to support a second bus with PCA9685 and PCF8574 following. Template portability and bus capacity are the recurring constraints this release attacks.

    Tasmota v15.2.0 Stephan

    Brings ESP32-P4 rev.3 support, analogue gauges, a solar charger energy monitor, DALI DT8 RGBWAF colour control through Tasmota's light system, and ECDSA enabled by default for TLS on ESP8266. The DALI work extends reach into commercial lighting.
