Build Tasmota

You will need compile your own build of Tasmota with these options enabled in user_config_override.h:

#define USE_DISPLAY
#define USE_DISPLAY_SH1106
#define USE_I2C

Flashing

It is not possible to flash the module using the onboard micro-USB connection. You have to disconnect the USB power and use a 3.3V FTDI connection to the TXD, RXD, GND and 3.3V pins. You need to put the module in flash mode by following these steps:

  • Connect pin 2 (GPIO0) to ground
  • Press the RESET button
  • Disconnect pin 2 from ground

You can use Tasmotizer the flash the module.
