Tasmota Developer Guide
This file is a summary of the Tasmota Documentation for the "docs" repository. It is provided here for convenience for GenAI to read it easily.
How Tasmota Works
Core Architecture
Tasmota is a modular firmware that transforms ESP8266/ESP8285 and ESP32 microcontrollers into intelligent IoT devices. The architecture follows these key principles:
1. Event-Driven System
- Main loop processes events and callbacks
- Non-blocking operations to maintain responsiveness
- Callback system for sensors, drivers, and features
- Timer-based scheduling for periodic tasks
2. Modular Design
- Core functionality always present (WiFi, MQTT, web interface)
- Optional features compiled conditionally using
#definedirectives - Plugin architecture for sensors and peripherals
- Template system for device configuration
3. Communication Hub
- MQTT: Primary communication protocol for automation systems
- HTTP: Web interface and REST API
- Serial: Direct console access for debugging and configuration
- WebSocket: Real-time web interface updates

Command System
All Tasmota functionality is accessible through a unified command system:
- Commands can be sent via MQTT, HTTP, serial, or web console
- Format:
Command [parameter] - Response format: JSON for structured data
- Backlog support for multiple commands:
Backlog cmd1; cmd2; cmd3
GPIO Management
Tasmota uses a flexible GPIO assignment system:
- Templates: Pre-defined GPIO configurations for specific devices
- Components: Logical functions assigned to physical pins
- Modules: Base hardware configurations
- Runtime Configuration: GPIO can be reassigned without recompilation
Development Environment Setup
Prerequisites
- PlatformIO: Primary build system
- Git: Version control
- Python: For build scripts and tools
- Serial Programmer: For initial flashing
Build Configuration
Create platformio_tasmota_cenv.ini for custom environments:
[env:tasmota32-custom]
extends = env:tasmota32
build_flags = ${env:tasmota32.build_flags}
-DUSE_MY_CUSTOM_FEATURE
User Configuration
Create tasmota/user_config_override.h:
#ifndef _USER_CONFIG_OVERRIDE_H_
#define _USER_CONFIG_OVERRIDE_H_
// Enable custom features
#define USE_CUSTOM_SENSOR

### I2C Development
```c
// I2C Helper Functions
bool I2cValidRead8(uint8_t *data, uint8_t addr, uint8_t reg);
bool I2cValidRead16(uint16_t *data, uint8_t addr, uint8_t reg);
uint8_t I2cRead8(uint8_t addr, uint8_t reg);
uint16_t I2cRead16(uint8_t addr, uint8_t reg);
bool I2cWrite8(uint8_t addr, uint8_t reg, uint8_t val);
// Device Detection Pattern
void MySensorDetect(void) {
if (MySensorDetected) return;
for (uint8_t i = 0; i < SENSOR_MAX_ADDR; i++) {
uint8_t addr = SENSOR_BASE_ADDR + i;
if (I2cValidRead8(&sensor_id, addr, SENSOR_ID_REG)) {
if (sensor_id == EXPECTED_ID) {
MySensorDetected = true;
AddLog(LOG_LEVEL_INFO, PSTR("MySensor found at 0x%02X"), addr);
break;
}
}
}
}
Scripting and Automation
Rules System
Rules provide event-driven automation:
Rule1 ON Switch1#State DO Power1 %value% ENDON
ON Time#Minute=30 DO Publish stat/topic/alert {"time":"30min"} ENDON
Berry Scripting (ESP32)
Berry is a modern scripting language for advanced automation:
# Simple sensor reading
import json
def read_sensor()
var temp = tasmota.read_sensors()
if temp.contains("Temperature")
print("Current temperature:", temp["Temperature"])
end
end
# Set up timer
tasmota.set_timer(5000, read_sensor)
# Web interface extension
def web_add_button()
webserver.content_send("<button onclick='la(\"&m_toggle=1\");'>Toggle</button>")
end
tasmota.add_driver(web_add_button)
Command Extensions
Add custom commands through Berry or C++:
def my_command(cmd, idx, payload)
if cmd == "MYCMD"
print("Custom command received:", payload)
tasmota.resp_cmnd_done()
end
end
tasmota.add_cmd('MYCMD', my_command)
Complete Settings Structure Reference
Settings Memory Layout
Tasmota uses a structured settings system stored in flash memory. The main settings structure is defined in settings.h:
typedef struct {
unsigned long cfg_holder; // 000 v6.0.0a
unsigned long save_flag; // 004
unsigned long version; // 008
unsigned short flag; // 00C
unsigned short save_data; // 00E
int8_t timezone; // 010
char ota_url[101]; // 011
char mqtt_prefix[3][11]; // 076
char serial_delimiter; // 09D
uint8_t seriallog_level; // 09E
uint8_t sta_config; // 09F
char sta_ssid[2][33]; // 0A0
char sta_pwd[2][65]; // 102
char hostname[33]; // 183
char syslog_host[33]; // 1A4
uint16_t syslog_port; // 1C5
uint8_t syslog_level; // 1C7
uint8_t webserver; // 1C8
uint8_t weblog_level; // 1C9
char mqtt_fingerprint[2][60]; // 1CA
char mqtt_host[33]; // 236
uint16_t mqtt_port; // 257
char mqtt_client[33]; // 259
char mqtt_user[33]; // 27A
char mqtt_pwd[33]; // 29B
char mqtt_topic[33]; // 2BC
char button_topic[33]; // 2DD
char mqtt_grptopic[33]; // 2FE
uint8_t display_model; // 31F
uint8_t display_mode; // 320
uint8_t display_refresh; // 321
uint8_t display_rows; // 322
uint8_t display_cols[2]; // 323
uint8_t display_address[8]; // 325
uint8_t display_dimmer; // 32D
uint8_t display_size; // 32E
uint16_t pwm_frequency; // 32F
power_t power; // 331
uint16_t pwm_value[MAX_PWMS]; // 335
int16_t altitude; // 345
uint16_t tele_period; // 347
uint8_t ledstate; // 349
uint8_t param[PARAM_MAX]; // 34A
int16_t toffset[2]; // 35A
uint8_t display_font; // 35E
} Settings;
### ESP8266 Constraints
- **Flash**: 1MB total, ~500KB available for firmware
- **RAM**: 80KB total, ~25-30KB available for application
- **Stack**: 4KB maximum
### Optimization Techniques
1. **Use PROGMEM for constants**:
```c
const char MyString[] PROGMEM = "Constant string";
- Minimize dynamic allocation:
// Avoid
String result = String(value1) + "," + String(value2);
// Prefer
char result[32];
snprintf(result, sizeof(result), "%d,%d", value1, value2);
- Use flash-efficient data types:
// Use uint32_t instead of uint8_t for local variables
// Use uint8_t only in structs to save memory
Communication Protocols
Command Context Structure
All command handlers receive context through the global XdrvMailbox structure:
struct XDRVMAILBOX {
bool grpflg; // Group flag
bool usridx; // User index flag
uint16_t command_code; // Command code
uint32_t index; // Command index
uint32_t data_len; // Parameter length
int32_t payload; // Numeric parameter
char *topic; // MQTT topic
char *data; // Command parameters
char *command; // Command name
} XdrvMailbox;
Key Fields:
command: The command name (e.g., "Power", "Status")data: Raw parameter stringpayload: Numeric value of first parameterdata_len: Length of parameter stringindex: Command index for numbered commands (Power1, Power2, etc.)
MQTT Integration
// Publish sensor data
void PublishSensorData(void) {
Response_P(PSTR("{\"MySensor\":{\"Value\":%d}}"), sensor_value);
MqttPublishTeleSensor();
}
// Subscribe to commands
bool MyCommand(void) {
if (XdrvMailbox.data_len > 0) {
// Process command
ResponseCmndDone();
return true;
}
ResponseCmndNumber(current_value);
return true;
}
Web Interface Extensions
#ifdef USE_WEBSERVER
void MySensorWebShow(void) {
WSContentSend_PD(PSTR(
"{s}MySensor Temperature{m}%d°C{e}"
"{s}MySensor Humidity{m}%d%%{e}"),
temperature, humidity);
}
#endif
Advanced Features
Template System
Templates define device GPIO configurations:
{
"NAME":"Custom Device",
"GPIO":[416,0,418,0,417,2720,0,0,2624,32,2656,224,0,0],
"FLAG":0,
"BASE":45
}
Matter Protocol Support
For ESP32 devices, Matter provides standardized IoT communication:
// Matter endpoint configuration
matter.add_endpoint(1, 0x0100); // On/Off Light
matter.add_endpoint(2, 0x0106); // Light with dimming
Display Integration
Universal Display Driver supports 50+ display types:
DisplayModel 1 # Select display type
DisplayMode 1 # Text mode
DisplayText [s1l1]Hello World
Testing and Debugging
Debug Options
Enable debugging in user_config_override.h:
#define DEBUG_TASMOTA_CORE
#define DEBUG_TASMOTA_DRIVER
#define USE_DEBUG_DRIVER
Serial Debugging
AddLog(LOG_LEVEL_INFO, PSTR("Debug: value=%d"), value);
AddLog(LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG, PSTR("Detailed info: %s"), info_string);
Memory Monitoring
// Check free heap
uint32_t free_heap = ESP.getFreeHeap();
AddLog(LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG, PSTR("Free heap: %d"), free_heap);
Best Practices
Code Organization
- Use consistent naming:
MySensorprefix for all functions - Follow callback patterns: Implement standard driver callbacks
- Handle errors gracefully: Check return values and sensor presence
- Document thoroughly: Include usage examples and pin assignments
Performance Considerations
- Minimize blocking operations: Use state machines for long operations
- Cache sensor readings: Don't read sensors more often than necessary
- Use appropriate data types: Consider memory usage vs. precision
- Optimize for common cases: Fast path for normal operations
Security Guidelines
- Validate all inputs: Check command parameters and sensor data
- Use secure defaults: Enable security features by default
- Minimize attack surface: Disable unused network services
- Regular updates: Keep firmware and dependencies current
Integration Examples
Home Assistant Discovery
void PublishDiscovery(void) {
Response_P(PSTR("{"
"\"name\":\"%s MySensor\","
"\"stat_t\":\"%s\","
"\"unit_of_meas\":\"°C\","
"\"dev_cla\":\"temperature\""
"}"), SettingsText(SET_DEVICENAME), GetStateTopic());
MqttPublish(GetDiscoveryTopic("sensor", "temperature"), true);
}
Custom Web Interface
const char HTTP_MYSENSOR[] PROGMEM =
"{s}MySensor{m}"
"<input type='range' min='0' max='100' value='%d' "
"onchange='la(\"&mysensor_val=\"+this.value);'>"
"{e}";
void MySensorWebShow(void) {
WSContentSend_PD(HTTP_MYSENSOR, current_value);
}
This guide provides the foundation for understanding and extending Tasmota. The modular architecture, standardized APIs, and extensive documentation make it an excellent platform for IoT development, whether you're adding simple sensor support or implementing complex automation systems.
