Migration
Tasmota, ESPeasy, ESP-Link and ESPurna are great firmwares and are supported, so there is generally NO NEED to migrate to ESPHome.
All of them works well on the weaker ESP8266 and can be lighter than ESPHome when web server is enabled. However, for those who wants to keep everything the same, the following are some information on migration.
