I am going to flash TASMOTA on a Sonoff S31 wall plug in this first of a two part series. Follow along with a step-by-step tutorial on how to wire up the plug so it can be attached to a USB-to-serial programming device and then flashed with the Tasmota firmware using Tasmotizer. Part 2 of this series will involve including this in Home Assistant so that it can be used in automations and other home automation things.

Of course, this is not new stuff and there are other videos out there. However, I have not played with Tasmota before and that makes it new to me. Hopefully there is at least one little tidbit of info that you haven't seen before. It's still fun to play with and why not make a video while I play. #tasmota #localcontrol #smartplug
