In this video I list 5 things that you SHOULD be doing after you flash Tasmota onto your Tuya based or Sonoff based (or any other for that matter) device so they work properly in Home assistant. I show you what to do and why. I also give you examples.
If you have other Tips and Hints regarding this, Please share in the video comments and I can bring them up on a future Video. You can also visit my Discord Seve and ask your questions there.
1: RESET 5
