tasmota-skillDiscover, monitor, and control Tasmota smart home devices on local networks. Use when tasks involve finding Tasmota devices via network scanning, checking device status and power states, controlling devices (on-off, brightness, color), managing device inventory, or any other Tasmota management operations on ESP8266 or ESP32 devices running Tasmota firmware.
Install via ClawdBot CLI:
clawdbot install wmantly/tasmota-skillAutomated discovery and control of Tasmota-powered smart home devices (ESP8266/ESP32) on local networks. Includes network scanning, status monitoring, power control, dimming, color control, and inventory management.

Tasmota devices typically:
Network scanner that finds live hosts and identifies Tasmota devices via HTTP and JSON API.
Device controller supporting power, brightness, color, and status queries via Tasmota JSON API.
Bulk status checker that queries all devices in inventory and displays power states.

A homeowner uses the skill to discover and configure newly installed Tasmota smart lights and switches across their local network. They scan for devices, assign friendly names, and set up automated power schedules or scenes via batch commands, ensuring seamless integration into their home automation system without relying on cloud services.
A facility manager employs the skill to monitor and control Tasmota-connected lighting and HVAC devices in an office building. They perform regular network scans to inventory devices, check power states to reduce energy waste, and adjust brightness or color settings in bulk for different zones, optimizing operational efficiency and compliance with green building standards.
A developer or technician uses the skill to test Tasmota firmware on ESP8266/ESP32 devices during prototyping or maintenance. They run discovery scripts to verify device connectivity, query status codes for debugging network issues, and simulate control commands like power cycling or color changes to ensure hardware functionality before deployment.
A retail store manager utilizes the skill to manage Tasmota-based LED displays and ambient lighting. They scan the network to identify all lighting devices, adjust brightness levels dynamically based on store hours or promotions, and use color control for thematic displays, enhancing customer experience while maintaining local control over lighting systems.
Offer subscription-based services to businesses for managing Tasmota devices, including regular network scans, device inventory updates, and automated control scripts. Revenue comes from monthly fees for monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimizing device performance, targeting small to medium enterprises without in-house IT support.
Develop and sell tailored automation packages for specific industries, such as smart homes or commercial buildings, integrating the Tasmota skill with other systems. Revenue is generated through one-time project fees or licensing for custom scripts and integrations, focusing on clients needing specialized control workflows.
Bundle Tasmota-compatible devices like smart bulbs or switches with pre-configured software tools and support services. Revenue streams include hardware sales margins and add-on fees for setup, training, and ongoing technical support, appealing to DIY enthusiasts and small businesses seeking turnkey solutions.
š¬ Integration Tip
Ensure devices are on the same subnet and have HTTP enabled; use the inventory file to cache device details for faster batch operations.
Control Sonos speakers (discover/status/play/volume/group).
Control Philips Hue lights/scenes via the OpenHue CLI.
Control Eight Sleep pods (status, temperature, alarms, schedules).
BluOS CLI (blu) for discovery, playback, grouping, and volume.
Control Home Assistant smart home devices, run automations, and receive webhook events. Use when controlling lights, switches, climate, scenes, scripts, or any HA entity. Supports bidirectional communication via REST API (outbound) and webhooks (inbound triggers from HA automations).
Use when integrating with Tesla's official Fleet API to read vehicle/energy device data or issue remote commands (e.g. start HVAC preconditioning, wake vehicle, charge controls). Covers onboarding (developer app registration, regions/base URLs), OAuth token flows (third-party + partner tokens, refresh rotation), required domain/public-key hosting, and using Tesla's official vehicle-command/tesla-http-proxy for signed vehicle commands.
