You guys/gals need an option to send over our own bin or even just sell Tasmota preflashed ones. You couldn't keep them in stock after that... Money on the table waiting.
Great video. Exactly what I was looking for, thanks. FYI, I ran into a little snag...after flashing my device it kept on cycling. It turns out my FTDI USB device didn't have enough power to run Tasmota. Everything worked great once I put it all back together and plugged it into the socket.
Very common there especially with an FTDI etc. They don't have enough power for the esp32 and wifi on it. So the brownout detector kicks in and reboots.
Thanks for the post, replacing some Tuya crap that i could not flash and did not work right on localtuya. Love Tasmota, will be nice to start flashing again. 12 bulbs coming in the mail, and we did use your links.
a couple notes in case it helps anyone for Windows computer . In Command prompt - I had to type esptool flash_id to get it to work ( instead of esptool.py flash_id ) . Also I had trouble getting the Chrome to load Tasmota - I had to select the Esp32C3 on the first screen ( instead of ALL) and then not erase to get it to finally load. Seems like the last time I did a bulb it flashed fine with your original instructions.
Love these videos, I was shopping for a Bulb and it looks great, I've got a Kasa but would definetly give this one a try next time, should've looked at your channel before making the purchase, LOL
Thanks for the video and the templates Travis. Bought and flashed 12 of these. There are a few gotchas that may be helpful for others who want to do this: 1. The esp32 has brownout issues with specific usb to serial adapters. This will make it seem like it was soldered incorrectly when that was not the case. This took a while to figure out. Ended up flashing them using a raspberry pi zero w ... which worked... not sure if that was a healthy thing to do to the pi though. 2. If not using the web flash, be sure to flash with the factory bin file. Commands that were used to flash: esptool.py --chip esp32-c3 erase_flash esptool.py --chip esp32-c3 --baud 921600 --before default_reset --after hard_reset write_flash -z --flash_mode dout --flash_size detect 0x0 tasmota32c3.factory.bin 3. Putting the led board back on didn't feel right most of the time. It doesn't go back on evenly (especially on the non-pro models -- it seemed to rock a bit). Had to clean out the white silicone? from the bulb and focus on pushing where the pins go through to get it to fit decently. 4. When troubleshooting, wanted to verify that binging 9 low was boot mode. Searching around, this is commonly 0. Nine is right as shown in the video. There is a spec sheet that shows this out there. This was key as it finally lead to trusting the solder job and finding out the issue stated in #1.
@@digiblurDIY I flashed the two I ordered earlier - no problems using your detailed instructions. I just ordered 4 more - maybe will give them as gifts after I reflash those. Can't beat the price of $5.60 each - no way you could even buy the esp32c3 for that let alone the rest of the parts !
@@digiblurDIY Yeah, they change so often that the same amazon listing will have entire different hardware. Might have to stock up on these once I get the first set up and running.
I tried this with the CT CapeTronix bulb, totally impractical unfortunately, just a heads up to those that have them. I am personally going to buy those lamps in the link already flashed. Thanks for that Travis.
The high power "DC" in simple IoT devices typically has a bit of the mains frequency left, and if that close to resonates with the PWM, the MOSFETs may cut the waveform at sliding points, giving unevenness. Clearly most at lower frequencies, and may not be jarring when going higher.
Thanks for the detailed walkthrough. Hoping for E1.31 support and was looking towards WLED implementation. From what I see, WLED support for ESP32-C3 and ESP32-S2 is not stable yet.
Great tutorial, I picked these now. I wish they could use BLE only, looking forwards any tutorial to offload WIFI and use BLE only for these bulbs from homeassistant.
I wonder if you could power the board using the header connector. Edit: I think flashing without soldering should be possible if you use a piece of tape to hold the jumper wires together. I've flashed all my Sonoff stuff without a soldering iron that way😂
Loving the videos! started my home assistant journey early this year and every time i look up something you seem to pop up! Just to let you know though, the link for "products we use/recommend" doesn't work for the UK amazon store.
that you for doing what you do, always informative. question do you know of any a15 bulbs that can be flashed. I cant use the bigger bulbs in the fixture. I assume no becuase its probably to small to fit the controller but thought I would ask. thanks again
Has anyone made a programming dongle clip for this / 3d model? I've tried with some tiny pogo pins and a 2mm pitch proto PCB board with a clip but it's pretty ghetto and hard to get it in the right spot.
Thank you very much for this great tutorial. Looking at the link, I couldn't help but notice white warm is marked as PWM_i (instead of PWM) on GPIO03 and couldn't find find any definition for PWM_i online. What is the difference between PWM and PWM_i?
I'm new to smart bulbs, but have been playing around with esp stuff for awhile now. If I put one of these in a ceiling light fixture, do you then typically wire in something like a Shelly 1 behind the switch in the wall and then go into the Shelly's settings and decouple the switch from the relay? Which would then allow the bulb to always have power? I think I'm having a hard time with the fact that smart bulbs can have power that isn't switched (so, constant), but then you can tell a microchip inside the bulb that it is "off" or "on"... rather than add or remove power through a switch like a traditional bulb. Out of curiosity, what is the typical use case for these bulbs?
hi there, im from across the pond and as mentioned in a previous comment, this specific bulb doesnt seem to support 220v. i was wondering how you figured out this bulb was using the esp 32 c3? what do i look for in the item description on other listings like on maybe some chinese webshops. thanks in advance
I was able to flash mine but does anyone know why my bulbs don't come on till like 20%. I have some switchbot bulbs I flashed and they come on right away at 1-2%
Do you have the list of which esp32 gpios control which leds, and is there a separate on/off gpio or does that just turn all the PWMs to 0? Also it looks like it's straight PWM and no LED drivers right? I may want to make a sketch from scratch. Thanks.
Thanks for this video. I flashed tasmota using the web installer using the Release Tasmota and managed connect to the hotspot to log into the GUI to set my home wifi and password.

So i have followed this video on the Vont bulb and having no luck. I have both the PRO and Regular bulb. I have tried on both, i have 2 different FTDI serial to USB boards ive tried.

But wanted to ask now. I bought about 16 bulbs for around the house(they were on sale) so i picked up the PRO versions. and i think my total was like $40 or $50, something cheap.. But not im wondering if i should send them back if i cant get passed this issue.
@@digiblurDIY As in other Vont bulbs, yes. As in shelly1 or sonoff yes those as well.. So the exact error im getting is the following: COM7 failed to connect: Failed to connect to Espressif device: no serial data received.

The 2 FTDI boards i have are the red one with the 3.3v or 5v switch on it and then the adafruit blue friend + extra board... I was reading either down below or elsewhere that maybe there is not enough power being supplied via the USB cable to maybe try separate power source, which i have not tried and would need to find my variable power supply.
So i was able to use my serial / usb to flash one of my sonoff plugs without problem, so the FTDI is working. There has to be something im doing wrong or something is not right on the device.
It kind of works the same except GPIO 9 is the held to ground for bootloader. It is known that the esp32 requires more power the older FTDI adapters are known for having issues. I prefer the cp2102 ones.

There's also switchbot bulbs too digiblur.com/wiki/devices/bulbs/switchbot_e26_w1401400
When selecting PWM frequency, risk of flickering tends to be a bit lower if you use a prime number
Interesting.. Googling for the why now...
The high power "DC" in simple IoT devices typically has a bit of the mains frequency left, and if that close to resonates with the PWM, the MOSFETs may cut the waveform at sliding points, giving unevenness. Clearly most at lower frequencies, and may not be jarring when going higher.

SO92 is not listed on the tasmota 11.1.0 documentation page. Did a new setting take it's place perhaps?
No SO92 hasn't changed and probably won't for a long time given it would be a breaking change and Tasmota is pretty good about not doing that.
