All your devices and data are yours: Tasmotrol controls Tasmota and Shelly directly within your own network. No cloud, no registration, no ads. Control Tasmota and Shelly devices on a single screen: switch, dim, set colours and view power consumption. Tasmotrol communicates directly with your devices on your own Wi-Fi network. No account is required; there are no servers and no adverts. And everything continues to work just the same even without an internet connection. FIND DEVICES, DON’T SEARCH FOR THEM Tasmotrol scans your network and finds compatible devices. You don’t need to enter an IP address, use MQTT or set up an additional server. YOUR DASHBOARD, YOUR ORGANISATION Create your own views — by room, by device type, however you like — and switch between them with a swipe. Groups let you switch multiple devices with a single tap. TIMERS WITHOUT THE CLOUD Up to 16 switching times per device, based on the clock or sunrise and sunset times, optionally only on specific days of the week. The timers can be easily programmed via a clear and intuitive interface. SEE WHAT’S USING POWER Real-time consumption, plus figures for today, yesterday and the total. Temperature, humidity and other sensor readings are displayed directly on the dashboard, provided your device supports them and you wish to view them there. OTHER FEATURES TO HELP YOU Encrypted backup of your setup, so switching devices is hassle-free. Device lock to prevent accidental switching. Dark mode. Help and FAQs directly in the app. Works on iPhone and iPad. FREE APP AND FAIR IN-APP PURCHASES Two devices and one group are free forever. If you need more, try Pro for free first and then decide for yourself. Choose between a low-cost one-off purchase or a monthly or annual subscription. QUESTIONS? Email us at support@tasmotrol.com.

Clean interface and does its job
04/07/2022
Brian_123456
Great app, was looking for something to do just this with a nice clean interface. The one issue I ran into which has caused me to give 4 stars instead of 5 was after doing a routine cleanup of which apps I allow to have cell data access, the app will not run (specifically complains about cell data). I am a little confused on what that would be needed for to use this.

Developer Response
Hi Brian - Tasmotrol does notrequire cell data as long as it has WIFI. If WIFIis not available it tries to fall back to cell-data (e.g. for use from external via VPN).If you don´t use it without WIFI, then you should be able to remove cell data access from Tasmotrol and you should be able to continue to use it with no problem. This worked fine in our testing.If this is not in line with your experience, let us know via mail and we look into it in more detail for the next update. We also try to make the messaging around data usage a bit more clear in future updates.Thanks for the review for sure!

Keeps asking me to buy pro

Here is a revised version that follows the Apple App Store guidelines:I purchased the Pro version of this app, but it has major issues. When setting up certain plugs, you need to connect to the plug’s Wi-Fi. During this process, the app forgets my Pro purchase, even if I start the app connected to the internet. As soon as I switch to the plug’s network, the app loses track of my Pro status. This issue is incredibly frustrating and unlike anything I’ve experienced with other apps.The app is also extremely slow when scanning the IP range. I’ve used multiple network scanners, and they can complete the same task three to four times faster. Given that this app is supposed to help set up Matter devices, it’s almost guaranteed you’ll lose internet access during setup. Forgetting the Pro purchase when this happens is an unacceptable oversight.Additionally, when I first purchased the app, it was a one-time fee, but now they’ve switched to a subscription model. I can’t imagine asking users to pay a subscription for something this unreliable. I do not recommend this app to anyone.

Hello - thanks for the feedback - some inputs and comments:- Usually you setup the devices (on-boarding to your network) before you add them to Tasmotrol, so that the network search can find all devices at once. Then the current required internet access to keep Pro mode enabled is not an issue at all. The vast majority of our users do it that way - actually we never tested on-boarding from the Tasmotrol internal browser. - The network search uses a multiple step process to make sure that only Tasmota devices are recognized and also evaluates the firmware version, to provide information about "timer" support, which extends the search time. As you do search only when adding new devices we not considered that as a major issue, but will try to improve search speed in future versions - Tasmotrol is not intended to setup Matter devices, Tasmotrol does not deal with Matter at all, it uses direct http:// communication! - The Pro subscription options are additional to the one time purchase! You can decide which option suits you best. Some users prefer a very low monthly subscription over a one time purchase (which is still available for those preferring this and will always be available). Also we have been developing Tasmotrol adding new features constantly for 3 years now with free updates and many new features (timer support, mutl. dashboards, groups, etc.) and fast user support. - You are right that the current required internet access to keep Pro mode active, is not optimal in some other situations (e.g. some users use Tasmotrol in their caravan with only local network access). For this reason we will change that requirement in the next upcoming version, only requiring internet access every 7 days, to keep Pro mode enabled. Should you still be interested in testing a beta version with that change, contact us to do so. Regards - Tasmotrol Support

Great app

App is great, but it pulls the host name of the plug and it appears you can’t edit it. You should have the ability to override and use the friendly name of the plug, either ask user for password to read plug config, or allow to change in the app. Fix that and it a pure 5 star app…

Developer Response
Hi Mikem, thanks for the rating and input.We guess you are referring to the name showing on the tile in the dashboard? You would like to override this to a custom name? A device might have several friendly names.If you don´t mind could you provide us some more information on the desired behaviour via e-mail and we are happy to look into it for future versions.

I just downloaded and did a quick search and wow it found my one Tasmota device. I hated using tasmota before this app, now I will have to try flashing all my minir2.The free version only allows control of 1 device but for $3.95 you can get the Pro version which I think it’s well worth it.

Developer Response
Thanks for the positive feedback - we have more plans (likes sensor support) for the future.And if folks want to test with more devices before deciding for pro-version there is always a 14 day free trial with unlimited amount of devices.Support for sensors is next on the roadmap, along with timers and backup/restore of configuration.

V 3.2.0 • The network search now also finds devices with the HTTP API switched off (default since Tasmota 15.5) and shows you how to turn it on. It must be on to control them! • Sensor readings are now shown with their unit wherever possible (e.g. 20.3°C instead of just 20.3) • Your ideas: Suggest new features for Tasmotrol and vote on the suggestions • Support for Shelly Dimmer Generation 3 and 4 • Various minor bug fixes (including the timer offset) V 3.1.0 • Large text and large icons are back! For everyone who values readability over fitting many devices onto one screen (option in the settings) • Better contrast and readability in the standard dark mode • Faster device switching, especially right after the app starts. Faster switching for groups with many devices. • The device detail page now shows the date on which the total consumption was last reset (Tasmota devices)
