I don't see them here: https://templates.blakadder.com/Has anyone flashed a shelly motion with Tasmoto? Is it compatible with HA? I need to purchase a few.
Tasmota is a pain to keep on the latest firmware. With Shelly firmware so much easier. I would keep it on Shelly firmware if possible.
I bought two Motions. It's definitely early days for this new wifi chip they're using and I would recommend waiting a bit.Has anyone flashed a shelly motion with Tasmoto? Is it compatible with HA? I need to purchase a few.

Both of mine are set to MQTT only, no CoIot, no Cloud, no Auto Timezone. For a while it seemed like they suffer from heavy packet delays. Not quite dropped, just 2 second response times. With MQTT QoS=2 this would result in a very slow event report. I'm waiting for a firmware update to see what changes. Until then, these are definitely designed to be low power low data devices. Expecting them to always respond like a high-availability server isn't right.
They still do what they should though, but they don't feel as solid as other Shelly products.
What do you think will be better?I bought two Motions. It's definitely early days for this new wifi chip they're using and I would recommend waiting a bit.

No idea. I can only say that the Shelly Motion needs to improve a bit and it's pretty expensive. I like it, but even without import duties and taxes, it's already ~R580 where the Sonoff Zigbee sensor seems to be locally available at ~R320 (not sure if you need a hub, I assume so).What do you think will be better?
with the Sonoff Zigbee you do need a hubNo idea. I can only say that the Shelly Motion needs to improve a bit and it's pretty expensive.

Can you use a zigbee dongle like a Norton connected to an home assistant device to connect to the sonoff zigbee ?
