option to check for standard tasmota bin

[Shiroe93]

hello two quick questions:
1 which option i have to check to obtain the standard tasmota.bin (the base version)? i ask because from there i only need to add one sensor with custom parameters
2) what does the home assistant flag add specifically?
thank you for this repo it's very useful

Hi there!

1. Hard to say. Default settings are "bare bones" of Tasmota. It includes almost nothing. Then you customize your binary by checking features and adding "custom parameters"
2. Have a look here: https://github.com/benzino77/tasmocompiler/blob/master/FEATURES_DESC.md

I've already seen that page you linked but unless I'm missing something the "home assistant" flag is not described

[benzino77]

You are right. Have a look here:

tasmocompiler/src/components/AppStepper/FeaturesStep/AvailableFeatures.js

Line 209 in 26ebd63

name: 'USE_HOME_ASSISTANT',

Checking this feature just adds:

#define USE_HOME_ASSISTANT

[Shiroe93]

This is what I see from your link but I don't understand what it entails
What changes? Wich feature are added that they wouldn't be there if I don't activate the flag?

[benzino77]

If you activate the flag "Home assistant", the

#define USE_HOME_ASSISTANT

is added to your user_config_override.h file

To find out which options are turned on by default you should check resulting user_config_override.h file (you can download it at the end of the compilation) or check the file I provided and see which features has value: true (which means those are turned on by default).

TasmoCompiler tweaks Tasmota by adding things to platformio_override.ini and user_config_override.h files only - NOTHING else. Both files can be downloaded at the end of the compilation, so you have an ability to see what is inside of them and even use them to compile your binary from command line.
