What are the differences between tasmotizer.exe and tasmotizer-x86.exe?

Could include this info in readme?

Thanks.

Hello,
I have WEMOS D1 mini R2 which has 4MB of Flash.
I compiled the TASMOTA Firmware with the following settings.

[platformio_override.ini]
[common]
board_build.ldscript = eagle.flash.4m2m.ld

[user_config_override.h]
//Enable USAGE of the 4MB Flash of the Wemos D1 R2
#ifndef USE_SCRIPT_FATFS
#define USE_SCRIPT_FATFS -1
#endif
#ifndef FAT_SCRIPT_SIZE
#define FAT_SCRIPT_SIZE 4096
#endif
#ifndef USE_SCRIPT_FATFS_EXT
#define USE_SCRIPT_FATFS_EXT
#endif
#ifndef SDCARD_DIR
#define SDCARD_DIR
#endif

After flashing the tasmota.bin. The WEMOS D1 mini is starting and anything seems to be work, but it is not possible to configure the device. Which means all the settings you do e.g. Port configuration will get lost after the restart is done which is triggered by the SAVE command.

If I flash the same Tasmot.bin directly out of Visual Studio Code the SW runs and I can save the configs and they will be there after restart.

I asume, that maybe Tasmotizer 1.1c did not flash all the blocks which are needed with configuration of 4MB flash size.

It seems that the Send Config does not work if the Password for the network SSID has spaces in it. It tells me that it sent 246 characters, but nothing happens.

If I send it another SSID and password pair that does not have spaces in the Password, it works.

I tried single and double quoting the Password, but that did not help. It took the quote marks as part of the Password.

I am running tasmotizer-1.1a.exe on Win10.

I also tried escaping the spaces with . No Joy.

Thanks!

I' trying to run tasmotizer_x86-1.1c.exe (as admin) on Win-7 32 bit and all I get is a message window saying "Failed to execute script Tasmotizer".

Any ideas what's wrong?

tty USB is not offered in Tasmotizer under Catalina, even when the UART adapter is showing in System Information. Not even when run as sudo.

Ubuntu 18.04.3

It would be nice if Tasmotizer could also be used OTA, by detecting any OTA-enabled device on the LAN and list that in the "Port" section.

Using the v1.1 Windows binary, after flashing a device (using the 'Release 8.2.0' radio button), if I go to 'Send config', the options are grayed out. How does one send the configuration?

I programmed a device successfully, then tried to use the "Send Config" option. What I got was a grayed out screen with no way to enter any info to it. I suppose I'm doing something wrong, but not sure what.

With this screen when I click "save" it attempts to upload the default config to the device.

I have tried to use the Windows 1.1a EXE and as soon as I click on the "release" or "development" selectors in the middle the app quits. I want to be able to select from the dropdown the release to install but the app just quits.

I have tried both the x86 one, and the other.

Is there a Window 32bit version?

feature request. once wifi config info has been uploaded, read the serial output and show in tasmotizer the IP the device got.

If you want to use this you have to disable Antivirus otherwise it removes it automatically

Hi,

I just flashed a TYWE3S and it said it was done successful.
I disconnected the wires and put the batteries back in, My phone finds the wifi network, It connects without internet and then when I enter the IP 192.168.4.1 in my chrome browser the wifi disconnects and can't be found up-until I take the batteries out and insert them again. Then same thing happens.

I flashed Tasmota.bin to a tuya wifi door sensor using tasmotizer. OTA did not work.

Please give me some advice

Can't get running in linux mint. pip3 install PyQt5 pyserial returns >
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PyQt5 (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for PyQt5.
Is PyQt5 windows only ? if so what can be used instead.

By using:

pip3 install --upgrade tasmotizer

it does not install latest version 1.1c

Hi,

Tasmotizer stopped working for me today:

I tried upgrading to version 1.2 and I get this error in Terminal:
tasmotizer.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/tasmotizer.py", line 23, in

I use a Mac running the latest version of Catalina.

Any idea?

Many thanks!

I am trying to flash tasmota32-webcam.bin to esp32 device, but the Tasmotizer does not see the tasmota32 firmware files. I downloaded the tasmota32-webcam.bin file and tried to use Tasmotizer 1.1c to flash the device, but I get an error "Invalid head of packet(0x46)". Is there a Tasmotizer version that would flash the tasmota32 files?

A couple of times I've had a not-perfect connection to the device, and Tasmotizer just crashes instead of showing an error or anything.

Windows 10 2004 build 19041.388.

Mini's can be flashed OTA, unless you're one of the many people having problems with it. Like me, many are having failures trying, I've bricked 7 already. OTA is where Itead is going (already got 3 of them).
Do you have any idea how many people would love this?

Hi there,

just wanted to say thank you very much for making this code publicly available! May I ask for help flashing on following environment:

Tasmotizer proposes /dev/ttyS0 as Port which I followed. Before I set the rights to flash over it with sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyS0. Jumper Pins of FTDI are on 3.3V.

When bringing the Sonoff in Pairing Mode and trying to flash I get the following error:

Could you please give me a hint? Thank you very much !

As a workaround you can install the system package instead via "sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5"
Then the pip install completes

The chip inside the new LED controllers from Magic Home is changed from ESP to probably Suzhou SmartChip Semiconductor Co., LTD. This one cannot be programmed by Tasmotizer. The pinout seemed to be the same. However the resitance is different. The Tasmotizer doesn't connect at all to the new chip.

First of all,
Thank you for this amazing piece of software !

My question is how to send commands to the device (in my case a Sonoff Basic)
like the "setoption19 1"

Is this posible using tasmotizer ?

Thanks in advance

Hi.

I try to programm a nodeMCU with ESP32 with the Tasmota.bin oder Tasmota-sensors.bin
The following message pops up in Tasmotizer:
a fatal error occurred invalid head of packet 0x46
Did anyone has an idea for this ?

No doubt about it, Tasmotizer is the best way to Tasmotize our ESPs, but on several occations I've found the CONFIG section less than reliable. If I use Tasmotizer to flash the chip then flick over to my phone and enter the SSID, pass and ID, the chip hops onto my network every time, but if I choose instead to use the config page on Tasmotizer, it doesn't always work and I sometimes end up having to re-flash the ESP (using Tasmotizer of course). Am I alone?

First try to install on a Macbook Pro, OS X 10.12.6, installs correctly but will not run.
Is this an "Update Your Operating System" and forward compatibility issue?

Great tool! Love the built-in backup before flash function.
It would be great if that could be triggered by itself without the need of flashing the device!

When trying to Flash

Hi,

I followed install instructions, but cloning the repo and running python3 tasmotizer.py ends in:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tasmotizer.py", line 15, in <module>
    from PyQt5.QtSerialPort import QSerialPortInfo, QSerialPort
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt5.QtSerialPort'

I can import PyQt5 in a python3 console, but running:

from PyQt5.QtSerialPort import QSerialPortInfo, QSerialPort

Results in the same error... PyQt5 does not seem to contain QtSerialPort.

Thanks for this great tool.
I stumbled over the mentioned error. Something is wrong with the PyQT-module.
There are lots of these errors in different repositories.

I just wanted to mention that for me this helped:

pip3 uninstall PyQt5
pip3 install -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple pyqt5==5.10.1

Hope this helps others having the same error on Linux/Ubuntu 18.04

Hi,
Flashed a Sonoff T2uk3ch using tasmotizer, that all works fine, powered off, disconnected gpio from gnd, powered on, try to send config of t1 3ch as per other users, reports sent ok, power off and on, not connecting to wifi, no ip address showing up in router, check in with termite, ipadress1 - reports ipUnSet. Wifi light ono Sonoff just flashes.

Finally, a friendly GUI!

The program seems to work well, but i think there may be room for improvement in the config part. It could allow for sending a static IP setting, which would save the need to look for one in the router. Add that and we would have an instant config and known IP.

Thanks for making tinkering easier

I do not have a real "issue" per se... I just wanted to say that Tasmotizer is awesome!

I've used it to flash and configure countless devices. It is super intuitive, works flawlessly, and is well designed. I wish all the software I used was as simple/good as Tasmotizer.

Thanks for your contributions to the community.

Installed with pip3 on a mac (OS X Mojave 10.14.6)

After setting the port and release binary crashes with

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/tasmotizer.py", line 657, in start_process
    dlg = FlashingDialog(self)
  File "/usr/local/bin/tasmotizer.py", line 303, in __init__
    esptool.sw.read_start.connect(self.read_start)
AttributeError: module 'esptool' has no attribute 'sw'
Abort trap: 6

esptool.py is verified as working (I used it to flash after reproducing the crash several times)

pyserial verified to be v3.4

Sonoff products need a restart after the backup was made to be possible to erase and flash. However tasmotizer doesn't do it, and I need to do it, but at that moment and time the application crashes. And it's doesn't feel too well to randomly disconnect a device in the middle of theoretically flashing state.

Windows 1.1a version

It would be nice to have the option to save the Password/Passphrase to the .cfg file. This would be very useful when setting up a batch of units on the same network.

Hi,

The backup size should be variable. Shelly has a 2MB flash size.

Note: I had to clone the firmware from a new shelly 2.5 using esptool.py and restore it to the other shelly device.

Why is the backup more than 1 MB? How can a less than 1mb memory device restore backup which have more than 1MB?

Also stuck after flashing

Keeps like this for several minutes

I cannot find a location of a backup of original firmware (I created a backup of firmware before erasing and flashing it).

It looks that this is easy tool to flash firmware and not need to deal with long command line or addresses where to put which file (ESP8266flasher).

But program needs improvements to avoid crashes (tested windows version)

• when selected port is already open e.g. in serial monitor, program crash. It should say that serial port cannot be open and allow to select another port or start flash again after port is closed

I tested with Wemos D1 mini

• own selected bin file was uploaded correctly

• upload release option ended with error

• after previous error I am not able to flash back neither my own file.

• after sucessfull flash device cannot be flashed again until is physically disconnected. Same error like above

• when button OK is pressed it crash instead of stay open

Edit: Device had to be disconnected to flash it again but program didn't start. Now it cannot be flashed anymore. If I try flask from Visual Studio code I get this error:

Did I miss a step? I found tasmotizer in ~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/

This is an issue when working with some devices which cannot self-reset successfully (e.g. Sonoff Touch switches). After each operation (original firmware backup, erase, flash), the device needs to be manually reset by power-cycling and bringing GPI00 to GND on boot. It is generally not possible to do while tasmotizer (underlying esptool) waits for connection, the timeout is not long enough and the app crashes instead of handling that gracefully. Also, if it involves power-cycling the usb dongle, the device gets destroyed/recreated and the app crashes again.

Also, at least on mac os, all tasmotizer exceptions are critical and bring up big system stack trace report windows, maybe it doesn't have to be so severe? Looks like this:

System stack trace report - https://prnt.sc/q7uzuv

I'm not entirely sure it is possible, but an option to wait between operations (so that any manual connection/resets could be done) could solve this.

@jziolkowski

Could be possible to improve the source code to have GUI in different language (ex. English/French/Italian/etc)?

Could be an idea to have a single one file with all strings for all languages or single file for strings for each language.

Thanks.

What is going on here?

I installed with sudo pip3 install tasmotizer and then ran:
