Who said, that the DC app has templates?
No, you don’t need a tasmota device in 1st place to use an AVD from the DC app. If you already have a tasmota device, why should you create a virtual device from it? What sense does that make?
I think there are at least 3 or 4 ways:
- Ask the app developer if he’s willing to add you device
- As I already mentioned create an AVD with the DC app. The number fields created in the AVD for the different data from your Tasmota device must then be filled with corresponding flows. I had written a tutorial in which this is partly explained: How to integrate Hoymiles Microinverters via OpenDTU and MQTT
- It may be possible to use the MQTT Hub app to create your device. However, I am not familiar with this app, so I recommend visiting the corresponding app topic → [APP][Pro] MQTT Hub - Community version
- As I saw in the Tasmota App Topic, you also use Home Assistant. With the Homey Assistant Community App you can import the data to Homey and create a device accordingly. I recommend visiting the corresponding app topic → [APP][Pro] Home Assistant - Community App
I’m currently doing the same with my Tasmota Hichi IR sensor, by the way. The reason for this is, because it’s not possible to use an AVD for the new energy dashboard at the moment.
