Migrating from Tasmota

:description: Migration guide for installing ESPHome on ESPs running Tasmota.
:image: tasmota.svg
Migrating from previous Tasmota setups is very easy. You just need to have
ESPHome create a binary for you and then upload that in the Tasmota web interface.
Getting the Binary
------------------
First create a configuration for your device. Then, generate and download the firmware image:
Using the Home Assistant add-on/dashboard
`````````````````````````````````````````
From the card of your device: open **the three dots menu** and select **Install** option.
.. figure:: images/dashboard-install.png
A new dialog will open. Click on **Manual download** option.
.. figure:: images/dashboard-install-manual.png
Finally, choose **modern format** in the last dialog.
.. figure:: images/dashboard-install-manual-modern.png
The build process of the firmware will start and the image will be automatically downloaded after its completion.
Using the command line
``````````````````````
From your configuration files folder, run
::
esphome <MY_DEVICE>.yaml compile
replacing ``<MY_DEVICE>.yaml`` with your configuration file and navigate to the ``<MY_DEVICE>/.pioenvs/<MY_DEVICE>/`` folder.
There you will find a ``firmware.bin`` file. This is the binary that you will upload.
Uploading the Binary
--------------------
To upload the binary, navigate to the Tasmota web interface and enter the
"Firmware Upgrade" section.

In the "Upgrade by file upload" section, choose the binary you previously downloaded
.. figure:: images/tasmota_ota.png
:align: center
:width: 60.0%
If everything succeeds, you will see an "Upload Successful" message and ESPHome
will connect to the WiFi network configured in your .yaml file. 🎉

Happy Hacking!
.. note::
When using the :doc:`esp8266_pwm output </components/output/esp8266_pwm>` platform and
switching from Tasmota, you need to power-cycle the device once. After that
the dimming functionality will work as usual and no more power cycles are required.
About image size and ESP8266
----------------------------
ESP8266 has very limited storage space. Trying to upload a large image will cause the
upgrade process to fail.
Tasmota 8.2 introduced upgrading using gzipped binaries which are smaller in size and
make the upgrade process easier.
- If you are using Tasmota 8.2 or later (recommended) you probably will want to compress the firmware generated from ESPHome with ``gzip`` before uploading it.
- If you are using any version older than 8.2: first upload ``tasmota-minimal.bin`` from Tasmota repository. Then upload the firmware generated from ESPHome.
- Alternatively, first upgrade Tasmota to the latest version. Then use the first (gzip, recommended) method.
If you are using Tasmota 7.2+ it may be necessary to run the command ``SetOption78 1`` in the
Tasmota console and restart your device to be able to upgrade to esphome.
Automated migration from console
--------------------------------
You may also use Tasmota console to invoke the upgrade with just two commands:
::
OtaUrl http://<MY-ESPHOME:6502>/download.bin?configuration=<MY_DEVICE>.yaml&type=firmware-factory.bin&compressed=1
Upgrade 1
replacing ``http://<MY-ESPHOME:6502>/`` with the host and port of your ESPHome installation and ``<MY_DEVICE>.yaml``
with your device configuration file name.
If you need to use the uncompressed image for any reason, just remove ``&compressed=1`` from the above url.
