The full-featured flashing tool for Tasmota. With the great [ESPtool](https://github.com/espressif/esptool) from Espressif under the hood, and all required settings by default.

## Features

 - Automatic backup of current ESP image before flashing: in case you want to return to manufacturer firmware<br/>
 Now supporting backup sizes up to 16MB
 
 - Flash local .bin images, or simply select from release or development images: it will download them automatically 
 
 - Send configuration to flashed device via serial: one-click configuration of Wifi (including recovery AP), MQTT, Module, Template, SetOptions etc  
 
 - Single-click get the IP of your device (DISCLAIMER: this functionality depends on the current state of your device, so it might require a few tries to get the proper result)
 
 - Dark theme: proven to increase flashing speed and reliability 
 
## Installation and how to run

 - Option 1: [get Windows  standalone executable](https://github.com/tasmota/tasmotizer/releases) (thanks @Jason2866)<br/>
 In the odd case of your antivirus going haywire over that application, it's a [false positive](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/3802)._
 
 - Option 2: Install from PyPI using pip:<br/>
 Upgrade pip and wheel packages: `pip3 install --upgrade pip wheel`<br/>
 Install tasmotizer: `pip3 install tasmotizer`   
 Then simply run `tasmotizer.py` from the shell/command line
 
 - Option 3: Clone the repo, `pip3 install -r requirements.txt` followed by `python3 tasmotizer.py ` and flash away!
