    If I hadn't seen that you had 284 posts, I would have thought you were advertising some shop. After all, there are a z ...dillion devices out there? Should we check them all for you?

    As I note that you have 284 posts, I expect you to use the correct names firmware . Double-crossing is plain laziness and disregard for colleagues.

    That's how I tested. And every one I've bought I immediately change to Tasmot.

    Why? And why Tasmota?

    Because I do not trust clouds of any kind. In addition, I can easily integrate with home automation Besides, the link you gave contains just a database of devices working on Tasmota. Once Tasmota is loaded, you simply paste the chosen template and you already have the service in Tasmota.
    So any Sonoffs, shelly tuya etc. Immediately after unpacking they get Tasmota with me and work exactly as I want.
    Of course you can also write your own software e.g. on Arduino for ESP8266
    And here's an example:

    Lighting control via Tasmot, Domoticz, Node-red and Google home.

    No. Built-in relays on the Sonoff T2. Led strips on milights.
