tobias_richter.tasmota

This role allows you to configure tasmota devices by executing commands.

💡 See https://tasmota.github.io/docs/#/Commands for a command list.

This role/action_plugin will send commands to a tasmota device using web requests. It will perform the following steps for each provided command,value pair in the tasmota_commands:

• It will retrieve the current setting of the provided command
• It will compare the result of this with the incoming value
  • when the new value differs from the existing value the command is executed with the new value and the task will report with changed
  • when there is no change detected the command will not execute the command (this will avoid restarts on several commands)

Requirements

This role requires some python requirements to be installed.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Limitations

fact gathering

You have to disable fact gathering using gather_facts: no because tasmota devices are currently not supported by the facts module.

changed reporting

Some commands like SetOption are accepting int values, like 0 or 1 but are returning on or off when queried for the current status. This may cause wrong reported "changed" states. You are welcome to create a PR for adding support for uncovered commands.

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with their default values:

    tasmota_user: '' 
    tasmota_password: ''
    tasmota_commands: []
    tasmota_mqtt_user: ''
    tasmota_mqtt_password: ''
    tasmota_mqtt_host: ''
    tasmota_mqtt_port: ''
    tasmota_mqtt_client: ''
    tasmota_mqtt_topic: ''
    tasmota_mqtt_fulltopic: ''

If tasmota_user and tasmota password are both non-empty, they will be included in the commands to authenticate access.

If any of the mqtt configuration values is set, a single Backlog command will be issued automatically after running the commands.

Tasmota commands contains list of tasmota commands to be executed. Each tasmota_command is defined as:

- command: <COMMAND>
  value: <VALUE>

e.g.

tasmota_commands:
    
    # set TelePeriod to 10 seconds
  - command: TelePeriod
    value: 10
    
    # extend TelePeriod to 3600 seconds when switch is turned off, set do default when switch is turned on
  - command: Rule1
    value: "on Power1#state=0 do TelePeriod 3600 endon on Power1#state=1 do TelePeriod 1 endon"
    
    # enable Rule1
  - command: Rule1
    value: 1
    
    # enable one shot for Rule1
  - command: Rule1
    value: 5

    # set and enable template (not that template is not a string)
  - command: Template
    value: {NAME: FooModule, GPIO: [1,2272,1,2304,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,0], FLAG: 0, BASE: 54}
  - command: Module
    value: 0 # Template


    # configure multiple TuyaMCU Functions (repeat for each fnId,dpId pair)
  - command: TuyaMCU
    value: 11,10
  - command: TuyaMCU
    value: 12,13

    # make sure that TuyaMCU fnId is disabled or missing
  - command: TuyaMCU
    value: 11,0

    # Configure Timer16 to trigger a Rule once a day at 06:00 (+-0:05) to restart the device
  - command: Timer16
    value: '{"Enable":1,"Time":"06:00","Window":5,"Days":"1111111","Repeat":1,"Output":1,"Action":3, "Mode":0}'
  - command: Rule3
    value: "on Clock#Timer=16 do Restart 1 endon"
  - command: Rule3
    value: 1
  - command: Timers
    value: 1

    # Example for no_log
  - command: MqttPassword
    value: MySafePassword
    no_log: True

Tipps

To avoid specifying tasmota_commands for each host using host_vars you can use a construct similar to this:

# commands for all instances
default_tasmota_commands:
  # set custom NtpServer
  - command: NtpServer1
    value: 192.168.0.1
  - command: LedState
    value: 0      

# specific commands 
specific_tasmota_commands:
  tasmota001:
    - command: FriendlyName1
      value: TV

  tasmota002:
    - command: FriendlyName1
      value: HiFi

tasmota_commands: "{{ default_tasmota_commands | union(specific_tasmota_commands[inventory_hostname] | default([])) }}"

Example

Sets the TelePeriod to 10 seconds to all devices specified in the tasmota host group.

- hosts: tasmota_devices  
  # disable fact gathering since this is currently not possible on tasmota devices  
  gather_facts: no
  vars:
    tasmota_commands:
        - command: TelePeriod
          value: 10
  roles:
    - tobias_richter.tasmota
