Easy ESP-01 Tasmota Programming

by kcow3

A simple consolidation of information to ash the ESP-01 module with Tasmota using Tasmotizer.

Supplies:

You require the following for this project:

ESP01 Module and programmer


Male and Female jumper wires
Optional push button
Latest version of Tasmota
Latest version of Tasmotizer

Step 1: Download Required Software

The rst step is to download the required software to ash your ESP-01 with Tasmota.

1. Download the latest binary version of Tasmota from this link.


2. Download the latest version of Tasmotizer
1. For Windows, the easiest method is to download and install the standalone .exe from this
link.

2. For MAC, have a look at the tutorial by SuperHouse

3. Run the Tasmotizer application

In the next step we will con gure the ESP-01 module and programmer to get ready to Flash Tasmota.

Step 2: Hardware Setup

The ESP-01 board can be ashed with Tasmota using the provided Programmer board, however the ESP8266 needs to be
in the programming state. To get the ESP8266 into programming mode we need to connect GPIO_0 and Ground on
startup.

There are various ways to achieve this, a simple on is to solder a male and female jumper lead to GPIO_0 and GND.

Solder a male jumper lead to GND


Solder a female jumper lead to GPIO_0
Connect the two jumper leads
Plug the ESP-01 module into the programmer
Plug the programmer into a USB port on your computer running Tasmotizer

An alternative to the jumper leads can be seen in this tutorial, where a small push button is used instead.

Step 3: Flash Tasmota Using Tasmotizer

With your programmer connected and the ESP8266 in programming mode, navigate to your Tasmotizer application.

1. Click on "Refresh" to make sure your port is updated and set to the programmer. In my example it is port
4, but it could be di erent on your computer.
2. Click on "Open" and select your version of the tasmota.bin le downloaded earlier.
3. Make sure the "Erase before ashing" option is checked.
4. Click on "Tasmotize!"
5. Wait for the process to nish
6. If you get a message "Process success.....", click "OK".
1. Remove the programmer from your computer
2. Disconnect the jumper wires between GPIO_0 and GND
3. Plug the programmer back into your computer.

7. Now we can try and connect the module to your WiFi network. This will be done in the next step.

Troubleshooting: If you get an error when clicking "Tasmotize!" make sure that you are using the correct port, or that the
ESP8266 is in programming mode

Step 4: Connecting ESP-01 to WiFi Network

You can now connect the ESP-01 module to your Wi Network using two methods.

Please note that the WiFi network should be a 2.4 GHz network...

1. The ESP-01 module will starup in Access Point mode, allowing you to connect to it using a phone or
laptop with WiFi.
2. You can use Tasmotizer to send your WiFi details to the module.

Tasmotizer method (Easier)

1. Navigate back to Tasmotizer (ESP8266 NOT in programming mode)


2. Click on "Send con g"
3. Enter your SSID
4. Enter your password

5. Click "Save"
6. Click "OK"
7. Wait about 10-20 seconds
8. Click "Get IP" to get the IP address your router assigned to the module

Access point method

With your module plugged back into the computer, open a WiFi search on your phone

1. Select the tasmota_xxxxxx network


2. Connect to the network
3. Wait for prompt to open on your phone
4. Enter you WiFi details and click "save"
5. Now you will have to use an application like FING to discover the IP address of the module

In the next step we will test the setup

Step 5: Testing

You can now simply navigate to the IP address of your module in a browser on the same network.

In my case the provided IP address was 192.168.1.37

When you see the Tasmota interface, your are done.

You can now use Tasmota for a range of projects like smart home projects like this
