Tasmotonov

This is a very simple CLI script combined with a small GUI application which allows you to turn on or off multiple tasmota devices specified.

Name

Maybe it's straightforward or obvious, but just for completeness: the name comes from

1. The direct bond to tasmota (written for its "API" if one can call the HTTP endpoints an API)
2. The ability to turn on and off tasmota devices ("on" and "off" pronounced directly one after the other sounds (a bit) like "onov")

CLI Usage

usage: Tasmotonov - simply toggle multiple tasmota lights [-h] [-v] [--version] {file,inline} data {on,off,toggle}

A very simple script which allows you to turn on/off multiple tasmota devices specified.

positional arguments:
  {file,inline}    Select either to read the adresses (of the devices) from a "file" or from "inline"
  data             Either the path to the file, or a comma- or semicolon-separated list of tasmota adresses.
  {on,off,toggle}  Select to turn all tasmota devices "on" or "off" or "toggle" (case insensitive)

options:
  -h, --help       show this help message and exit
  -v, --verbose    Turn on verbose file output
  --version        show program's version number and exit

Info: if you choose a file as source, this files needs to contain the addresses of the tasmota devices either comma-separated, semicolon-separated, or newline-separated!

The GUI application is based on Qt with it's python3 bindings PyQt6.
