OpenDeviceDB lists the 2,824 devices from the Tasmota templates repository, each linking back to its template

Hi, and thank you for Tasmota (and to blakadder for the templates site). I'm sharing something built on the templates, in case it's useful or you spot a problem.

OpenDeviceDB is a free directory of devices that already work with open code or open firmware. The code is AGPL and the data is CC BY-SA. It brings the supported-device lists of 25 projects together in one search: Zigbee2MQTT, Z-Wave JS, Tasmota, ESPHome, OpenWrt, LineageOS, coreboot, QMK, SANE, Betaflight and more. Someone holding a device can look up its label and find which project already supports it, even if they had never heard of that project. Every record links back to the project it comes from.

The Tasmota device templates give us 2,824 devices. Each record links to its template page, and the install section points to the official flashing guides: https://opendevicedb.org/devices/?source=tasmota (for example https://opendevicedb.org/devices/sonoff/basic/).

• We say plainly that Tasmota is free while the ESP Wi-Fi libraries it links stay closed. Please correct me if that's misleading.
• Data fixes belong in the templates repository. If anything looks wrong on our side, tell me and I'll fix the importer.

This is a really useful initiative! Bringing supported devices from multiple open-source projects into one searchable directory makes it much easier for people to discover compatible devices and find the right firmware or software.

I also appreciate the transparency about licensing and the links back to the original sources. Great work on OpenDeviceDB, and thank you for sharing it with the community! 👏

Thank you for the encouragement! Helping people discover the relevant upstream project is exactly why I created OpenDeviceDB. Keeping the original template and its source visible matters, especially when two products look similar but use different hardware.

If you try the directory and come across an entry with a missing alias, unclear hardware variant or incorrect source link, a model name and the relevant upstream URL would be a useful first contribution. I can review the record from there: https://opendevicedb.org/contribute/.

Thanks again for taking the time to look at it.
