Bulk configure your devices running Tasmota

Allows you to discover all Tasmota running devices in your network as well as (bulk) apply a configuration to your Tasmota devices without necessarily knowing their IP addresses.

• Discover all Tasmota running devices in your network (by CIDR)
• Update individual devices (if you do know the IP address)
• Bulk update of devices within the network (by CIDR)

Note: If your Tasmota devices are protected by a HTTP API password (WebPassword), make sure you specify it when using the commands below. Otherwise it's not possible to determine if we're dealing with a Tasmota device from the HTTP 401 the request returned.

Requirements

• Tasmota device(s) with HTTP API enabled
• Python 3 with pipenv installed

Getting started

$ pipenv install
$ pipenv run python manage-tasmotas.py --help

Usage: manage-tasmotas.py [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Options:
  --log-level TEXT
  --help            Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  discover
  update
  backup

Discover

Finds Tasmota devices in a given network and prints their friendly-name.

$ pipenv run python manage-tasmotas.py discover --help
Usage: manage-tasmotas.py discover [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --cidr TEXT          CIDR to scan for Tasmota devices to update (default
                       192.168.1.0/24)
  --web-password TEXT  WebPassword to use when calling Tasmota API
  --help               Show this message and exit.

Update

Updates Tasmota devices, either by specifying an individual IP or by CIDR.

$ pipenv run python manage-tasmotas.py update --help
Usage: manage-tasmotas.py update [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --ip TEXT            IP address of an individual device to update
  --config TEXT        Path to configuration file  [required]
  --cidr TEXT          CIDR to scan for Tasmota devices to update (default
                       192.168.1.0/24)
  --help               Show this message and exit.

Backup

Backup Tasmota configurations, either by specifying an individual IP or by CIDR.

Note, when using the --upgrade flag, no other configuration will be applied. To apply configuration, run without flag first.

$ pipenv run python manage-tasmotas.py backup --help
Usage: manage-tasmotas.py backup [OPTIONS] PATH_TO_TARGET

Options:
  --ip TEXT            IP address of an individual device to update
  --cidr TEXT          CIDR to scan for Tasmota devices in (default
                       {CIDR_DEFAULT})
  --web-password TEXT  WebPassword to use when calling Tasmota API
  --upgrade            OTA upgrade device to latest firmware
  --help               Show this message and exit.

Configuration format

The config file supports default values that apply to all devices as well as device specific overrides. The JSON contains dictionaries with key-value pairs of individual Tasmota commands. It looks like the following. Store it in a file and use it with the --config option when using this tool.

{ 
  "web_password": "<your tasmota admin user password>",
  "configs": {
    "default": {
        "mqtthost": "mqtt-host",
        "mqttport": "1883",
        "mqttuser": "user",
        "mqttpassword": "mqtt-password",
        "topic": "%06X",
        "fulltopic": "tasmota/%prefix%/%topic%/",
        "TelePeriod": "10",
        "latitude": "48.123",
        "longitude": "-124.123",
        "timezone": "99",
        "TimeDst": "0,0,3,1,2,-420",
        "TimeStd": "0,0,10,1,3,-480",
        "ntpserver": "pool.ntp.org",
        "SetOption65": "1",
        "WebPassword": "web-password",
        ...
    },
    "<Tasmota friendly-name>": {
        "PowerOnState": "0",
        ...
    }
  }
}

If you've configured your Tasmota using its console before, this would be equivalent to Backlog mqtthost mqtt-host; mqttport 1883; mqttuser user; mqttpassword mqtt-password; topic %06X; fulltopic tasmota/%prefix%/%topic%/; TelePeriod 10; latitude 48.123; longitude -124.123; timezone -8; ...

Use the Tasmota friendly-name as the key when overriding configuration values for a specific device.

See https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Commands/ for the full list of commands.
