This inexpensive and basic wall switch may spell the end of Tasmota. At least in cases like this. Hear me out

Matter still suffers from losing extra features when you leave the manufactures app

@pjmccracken 3 месяца назад

I'd highly doubt it. personally I'd much rather flash it and have full control of the device and firmware.

@JasGawera 3 месяца назад

I'd probably still flash with tasmota - only because EVERY switch and plug (about 26) in my house is tasmota. If they are tasmota then I'm not sure how much use matter is for me, they are all detected by home assistant via mqtt. Or is it that if using matter, I wouldn't need to enter wifi and mqtt details?

Will these work with smart bulbs? So do they keep power to the bulbs or does the switch cut out the power completely?

@notenoughtech 3 месяца назад

You don't use smart bulbs when you have smart switches. They cut the power to the bulb.

@clairerovic 3 месяца назад

I use Tasmota devgroups & rules with Tasmota globes. No middle man required, so yes still need it.

@notenoughtech 3 месяца назад

It's one way to do it. I personally keep my groups at the higher level as then I only manage it from one level. Your approach would work for home automation but doesn't scale up well (doesn't need to if you are at that level). So for example y If you were to change the protocol to matter on a single device... My way would have groups intact... Yours continues on tasmota support. Something to bear in mind

@clairerovic 3 месяца назад

@@notenoughtech You are 100% correct with scaling & new tech. Having 68 Tas devices around the house & 7 NSPanels with @JoBr integration works exceptionally well and no middle man So I am currently very careful about the next solution, though the day will come when I have to bite the bullet. Plus tech is getting better each day with local LLMs, 2450 presence sensor & esp32 S3 voice, who now's how smart I can make it

@user-vp9gn9bg2e 3 месяца назад

I would certainly use Tasmota. It is frequently updated with new features and pretty much guarantees compatibility to all the foss ecosystems. I must say I'm disappointed that Sonoff didn't add Thread. And a more tactile switching experience. Especially the cheap feel of the click keeps me from rolling out SwitchMans to all the rooms of my flat - I'm waiting for something that feels more like a mechanical keyboard.

@notenoughtech 3 месяца назад

Don't get me wrong, but these are as barebone as it gets, hence my point about not bothering with Tasmota. Personally, I can't really think of anything I would need from them that I cannot resolve with custom Matter router

@eberger02 3 месяца назад

Matter over wifi or Matter over Thread? Matter over wifi for devices that already had a local mode seems pretty pointless to me if you already own an iHost to Matter Bridge them. Bet even the old switches appear as matter switches to anyone with an iHost. If it was matter over thread they could also work over that network, thereby strengthening the mesh network and (I think) you can link a wall-switch and bulb directly instead or relying on a wifi-switch to pass on the message. These just look like switches that take up space on your router. As the newer ESP 32 chips with built in Thread/Zigbee radios become more commonplace I expect Thread to be more widely used and then unless tasmota adopts Thread it will die.

@notenoughtech 3 месяца назад

I think the question here is more about the control over Matter router - then having your devices simply supporting Matter as end devices. I agree with you with Local LAN the consideration isn't comms between devices but the ewelink cloud which ppl don't like using in fav of custom automation support

@albertvanwessel 3 месяца назад

Do not use a full metal screwdriver when working with mains , if you forget to turn mains of you are screwed😅

@notenoughtech 3 месяца назад

Good tip.. although for demos and filming I rarely have things connected. As you could see from my "accidents" learned the hard way 😆

@user-vp9gn9bg2e 3 месяца назад

I wonder are there screwdrivers that only use non-conductive materials, or is metal always necessary?

@WoLpH 3 месяца назад

@@user-vp9gn9bg2e There are plastic screwdrivers but in almost all cases (even electrical work) you want a metal shank to make it last more than a few uses. A standard insulated screwdriver can easily keep you safe from 1000+ volt without any danger to the user since most of the shank is also insulated.

@BizGuzlur 3 месяца назад

I'm confused... I use Tasmota for its MQTT features, would this still be available with Matter?

@notenoughtech 3 месяца назад

Think of matter in the same way you think of MQTT. If you have a matter hub connected (weather it's the DIY solution or branded ecosystem) you have a way to talk to the device and receive data. This can be acted upon or relayed to MQTT etc. MQTT was a common protocol to bridge various devices and make them talk. Matter does just that

@Shellyfi 3 месяца назад

Per default only option is to toggle relay, with tasmota (and ESPhome) switch & relay can detach and have alternative control options with multi/long push. Have fallback to direct control when connection to server is lost. All those are not an option with matter or evelink

@notenoughtech 3 месяца назад

Detach depends purely on hardware but I agree with other statements.

@i0001w 11 дней назад

Do I need cloud service for schedule light,? So if i lost internet does schedule stops ?

@notenoughtech 7 часов назад

When used with eWeLink it will retain the schedules (this is why you have limit of 8 if I remember correctly) I'm not sure about Matter connection with other systems

@stephanhadinger3366 3 месяца назад

I'm not sure we should oppose Matter and Tasmota. It's good value indeed to have ready-to-use devices that don't need opening nor flashing; like we had somehow with Zigbee. To the point that Tasmota is also compatible with Matter: turn a Tasmota device as a Matter end-device, or use Tasmota on ESP32 to expose ESP8266 devices as Matter devices

@notenoughtech 3 месяца назад

I love Tasmota, I'm sure you know this from my videos, but I'm also practical. If this was something like Sonoff TX Ultimate and I had to give away support for the RGB outline - I probably wouldn't settle for basic Matter edition - but it's the most basic of the switches and at this point it just feels like I'm losing only my time :)

@TD-er 3 месяца назад

I wonder whether the flash / bootloader might be encrypted now they do use Matter. The Matter specification/certification demands keys to be stored encrypted. So it might be made quite a lot harder to flash your own firmware if they did encrypt the flash (thus burnt a fuse to enable encryption)

@notenoughtech 3 месяца назад

That's a good point. May save some time to see if the process works just as well as on original ones

@stephanhadinger3366 3 месяца назад

@@notenoughtech Yes they are supposed to be locked and encrypted, otherwise it would be possible to extract the certificate from the device manufacturer

Of course they are. They give you instant access to the part of the video you find most important to you if you decide that my order of explaining things doesn't confront your liking. On top of that there is an article written to accompany the video so you can access the same information without even hitting the play button. And the last point is: I never share my videos. I always share the link to the article which defines how I present the information I have to pass
