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

The direct bond to tasmota (written for its "API" if one can call the HTTP endpoints an API)
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!

Installation

The CLI script (tasmotonov.py) relies on two libaries apart from python3's standard libraries:

fqdn: for validating the FQDN
requests: for making the HTTP requests

To install it, just execute the following command:

pip install fqdn requests

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

PySide6: for running all the GUI stuff

To install it, just execute the following command:

pip install PySide6

Running

CLI: Use ./tasmotonov.py

GUI: Use ./tasmotonov-gui.py

Plans

I plan to add

a darkmode maybe (but of course the interface doesn't look good either lol ;)
and bundle everything together to get a desktop application (e.g. runnable under windows without development tools)
