Devices with functions offloaded to a separate MCU require additional coding in the software or via rules. Certain supported Tasmota [BASE](Templates#base) devices have built-in code to handle MCU controlled devices. Using a template with an appropriate BASE device may have the programming logic required to manage the MCU commands for your device. If an existing BASE device with the logic for your device is **_not_** available, a modified device driver will be required. This case is outside of the scope of this article. -If your device is similar to the existing built-in module (e.g., a particular MCU or power monitoring algorithm) it is best to use that as a starting point. When you are not sure which module is suitable for your device, use `Generic module (18)`.
