Tasmota App

[Brightness248]

Hello everyone,

Recently, I switched smartphones. In the process, I ran into the problem of having to manually set up all the links and IP addresses for my numerous Tasmota devices from scratch again. Since this process was quite frustrating, I decided to sit down with Android Studio and create my own app for it.

First of all: I’m a beginner when it comes to Android Studio development and the Kotlin programming language. Copilot was a huge help here.

The result turned out really well, and the app has already been running flawlessly in my daily use. It currently offers the following features:

Automatic Discovery: All Tasmota devices on the network are automatically detected and listed in an overview.

Flexible Web View: From the overview, you can control devices directly through an embedded web view or use a button to open the device’s IP address in your browser.

Manual Import: Devices can, of course, also be added manually via their IP address if needed.

Custom Dashboard: You can build your own dashboard exactly the way you want. Simply choose a value, slider, or button from the list of discovered devices and place it as a tile. Tiles can be moved or removed with ease.

Privacy-Focused: No cloud services, everything runs completely offline and locally. Best of all, the devices don’t even need to be connected to an MQTT broker for the app to work.

Dark Mode: A clean, eye-friendly dark theme is built in by default.

Since the app completely solved my own problem and already looks quite good, I wanted to ask whether the community might also be interested in it.

Is there a need for an app like this? Do you already have ideas, wishes, or specific features in mind that should definitely be added?

I’m looking forward to your feedback!

Hi,
this is a pretty good idea! How can I test your App?

I think the best solution is to create a new repository in the next few days and post a link to it here.
That way, you'll have the chance to look at the code yourself and possibly modify it using Android Studio.
For those who aren't able to do that, I'll provide the finished APK.

If you have any ideas or suggestions for improvements while testing, let me know.
