Liberate Wi-Fi Smart Bulbs and Switches with Tasmota!
I’m a fan of home automation but not of proprietary platforms. It seems like every few months we hear about another automation platform shutting down just as a new one pops up.

So the first thing I did when cracking open a package of smart lightbulbs from Costco was to “liberate” them to run Tasmota!
