Looking for experience with Tasmota firmware

Hi everybody,

I love Shelly switches and keep adding more and more , at the same time I'm not so happy with its firmware . This forum is full of issues around wifi connectivity, ota updates, ghost switching, need for cloud connectivity and the like. For some reason Allterco does not seem able to solve these issues in a timely and reliable manner .

On the other hand I know Tasmota firmware from my Sonoff switches, zigbee bridges and others. I prefer Shelly switches over Sonoff, but the firmware experience with Tasmota is much much better. It's open source, no cloud need, feature rich, very well documented and it has an incredible knowledgable and helpful community .

I tried Tasmota on a couple of Shelly-1 with good results, but have not tried it with Shelly 2,5 or Shelly Dimmers. Before going switch by switch (take them out of the wall, flash, reinstall) I thought I would ask here in the forum .

Is there anybody willing to share their experience? There are reports of Tasmota running in multiple types of Shelly devices, but they are mostly experimental installations. I'm looking for real life feedback

That would help me (and perhaps others) a lot. Thanks!

Sorry I can't share any experience.

But one question? Why don't you flash them OTA?

If by "OTA" you mean the Tasmota firmware, that is exactly what I'm planning to do with the next Shelly I buy. Like I wrote, I already have two Shelly 1 switches with Tasmota and they are working ok.

But before flashing all the other switches I have installed in the last 12 months (over 20 SHSW-1, SHSW-25 and SH-DM2) it would be better, faster, and perhaps of general interest to see what more experienced users think. That's whay I'm asking the forum.

Thanks anyway!

So I asked why you don't do it OTA.

Is it possible to update the original firmware to Tasmota Over-The-Air (OTA)?
that would simplify things for me.

Unfortunately according to the link below, it is NOT POSSIBLE to update to Tasmota using OTA. I would still need to get the switches out of the wall ... but if the feedback to my question is positive then i will do it!!

Has anyone ever tried flashing a shelly OTA? · Issue #5953 · arendst/Tasmota (github.com)
