Tasmota v7 comes with a HUGE change!

The official firmware name is Tasmota instead of Sonoff-Tasmota and this introduces a few, possibly breaking, changes that need to be addressed:

  1. References to sonoff in the UI, code and wiki are replaced with tasmota
  2. Default device topic is now tasmota and default friendly name is Tasmota.
  3. Default AP for WiFiConfig is tasmota-xxxx instead of sonoff-xxxx
  4. All binaries are now named tasmota-xxxx.bin and default OTA url is http://thehackbox.org/tasmota/tasmota.bin

Upgrading Note

Upgrading from older versions will not be painless!!! It is highly recommended to backup your configuration first, upgrade, erase flash and reset the device to firmware defaults and finally use decode-config tool to restore the configuration.

If you're upgrading from a core version older than 2.6 and you're experiencing connectivity issues use reset 3 command to reset wi-fi calibration settings. Always fully power cycle your device after the reset is complete to make sure everything is cleared.

v7 Tips

GroupTopic

All sweeping changes across all devices are done through publishing to the group topic so this is required to do first for all other changes to be effective! If you have custom group topics defined you're on your own

Default GroupTopic changed from sonoffs to tasmotas. Every new device will have tasmotas as the default GroupTopic but previously flashed ones will remain on sonoffs.

To change GroupTopic of all old devices to the new one (if you're using the default FullTopic):

Publish cmnd/sonoffs/GroupTopic tasmotas

For Home Assistant autodiscovery enabled devices

Publish sonoffs/cmnd/GroupTopic tasmotas

Wi-Fi Config AP

To configure your device after flashing it for the first time you searched for AP named "sonoff-xxxx" but from now on you have to search for "tasmota-xxxx".

OTAUrl

Default OTAUrl is now http://thehackbox.org/tasmota/tasmota.bin. If you're using other precompiled builds in your OTAUrl simply change sonoff to tasmota.

To change OTAUrl for all devices (after changing GroupTopic with the above command):

Publish cmnd/tasmotas/OTAUrl http://thehackbox.org/tasmota/tasmota.bin

Dark Theme

New default theme is the Dark theme. Note that upgraded devices will keep their old theme.

If you want your device on the dark side use WebColor 0.

If you want all your devices switched to the dark theme use:

Publish cmnd/tasmotas/WebColor 0
