So you want to create a Smart Home? Are you unsure what to do and what to get?  Join us on this series when we tackle a new home and evolve it into an automated home.  This episode we are installing and setting up Home Assistant on the Raspberry Pi 4, getting everything ready to install our light switches and automations.

For the folks using the awesome  Martin Jerry SD-01  and  Tessan / Acenx  MJ-SD02 dimmers, I've updated the fork to 8.1.0.1.  Keep in mind due to the settings layout of 8.x of Tasmota, if you need to downgrade below 7.2 you will need to serial flash. More info on setup/flashing to be  found here .

For the folks using the awesome Martin Jerry SD-01 and Tessan / Acenx MJ-SD02 dimmers, I've updated the fork to 6.6.0.6.  There aren't any additional features except for what came with the rebase on the updated base of Tasmota.  If you do decided to update your dimmers you'll need to select the MJ-SD01 module again after the reboot since the module number changes with this version.  More info on setup/flashing to be found here . Even though Tuya Convert seems to be getting more rare and rare each day, I updated the generic bin with wifi manager (AP mode) as default to 6.6.0.7 as well, this can be used for many other flashing applications too!   Download here .

Two switches shown in the video: Martin Jerry Switch Martin Jerry Dimmer Did a rather short (sarcasm) live stream showing the process to break open the smart switch, identify features, flash tasmota, setup the template, etc. It was my first time doing this switch model and first time doing the real live stream. I also showed the bonus of the very cool new dimmer switch I've been working with on and off. It's very close and works out of the box right now as it is with a few Tasmota rules. Had a lot of fun and let me know if you'd like to see more of these (hopefully shorter next time!)
