tasmotizer VS WLED

If you use a d1 mini it has usb, just use https://github.com/tasmota/tasmotizer

Oh, that's sad. It seems like such low hanging fruit to support it. There is already a pull request to add the support that OP could use and test.

We start with a couple sensors for temperature, humidity, and particulates. Those connect to an ESP8266 via I2C and some proprietary IKEA protocol. That IKEA protocol wasn't in the default build, so I had to enable a define and rebuild. They've made very cool use of Gitpod so I didn't even have to install anything. I used Tazmotizer.py with a USB programming fixture I got off Amazon to load my custom firmware to the board.

It’s a SonOff Basic and flashed it with Tasmotizer. It didn’t work with the first try but after the third it works pretty well. I was too lazy to solder the pins on it. But if you have many of them, it would be great when you can upload it without a pc.

Incase you don't have a flasher,tasmotizer is an super easy software to flash a single bin file. https://github.com/tasmota/tasmotizer/releases/download/v.1.2/tasmotizer-1.2.exe

do i have to do the wiring and run Tasmotizer ?i assume not because the tasmota interface comes up just fine.

Tasmotizer is probably the easiest way to serial flash in Windows (and has cross platform versions for Mac and Linux). That said, it does require a hardwired serial connection.

Hands down easiest way is with Tasmotizer on Windows with a 3.3v FTDI. It's virtually plug and go.

I’ll do you one better: Here is the WLED main site - they cover everything - however you want it for your vehicle is up to you! (If you want to see a truck I personally worked (with 2 other main guys doing the woodwork and wiring) on that was probably the “most expensive” project with these controllers, check out the SEMA entered “Realtree Stormtrooper truck” - a LOT of time went in to that and almost a year of prep, not a fan myself, but custom electronics are what I like doing)

Did you use the esp32.bin? If so, you should instead use ESP32-C3 here: https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/releases/download/v0.14.0/WLED_0.14.0_ESP32-C3.bin

Friend replaced all his govee cintrollers with WLED.

I feel like I should start this post with a disclaimer. I tend to over-complicate things. Which means I'm making this post partly as a sanity check and partly to fill in some gaps in my kno.wled.ge

Look at WLED.
