## What is Switchworks?

Switchworks controls Tasmota devices locally – with an MQTT broker or without one: the network scan finds your devices even without a broker. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac.

With your own MQTT broker, Switchworks shows all your Tasmota devices on a clear dashboard. Other compatible devices with a local HTTP API are found on the network and controlled directly – no cloud, no account, no tracking.

DASHBOARD
• Groups and favorites, outputs switch right on the tile
• Clear online/offline status, devices you can hide

TASMOTA
• Switches, shutters with position, dimmer and color
• Sensors with history charts (24 h / 3 days / 7 days)
• Console, rules, timers, module and GPIO configuration, templates
• Configuration backup for every device with comparison and restore, also automatic
• Firmware check against the current Tasmota release, upgrade multiple devices at once
• Send bulk commands to multiple devices

NETWORK & MQTT
• Network scan finds Tasmota and other compatible devices even without a broker
• MQTT explorer with topic tree, live values, publish and deleting of retained messages

ALSO FOR THE MAC
• Sidebar, menu bar switches, Quick Switch with Cmd+K, tools in their own windows

Requirements: Tasmota devices on your own network. To list devices via MQTT you need a broker on your network (e.g. Mosquitto) and discovery enabled (SetOption19 0). Other compatible devices are reached over HTTP independently of the broker.

Switchworks is an independent project and is not affiliated with the Tasmota project or any device manufacturer.
