Every Tasmota and Shelly device on one screen: Switch, dim, set colors, watch how much energy they draw. Tasmotrol talks to your devices directly, over your own Wi-Fi network. No account, no server, no ads — and it keeps working when the internet does not. FINDS YOUR DEVICES FOR YOU Tasmotrol scans your network and picks up compatible devices on its own. No IP addresses to type, no MQTT, no extra server to run. YOUR DASHBOARD, YOUR ORDER Build your own views — by room, by device type, however you think — and swipe between them. Groups switch several devices with a single tap. SCHEDULES THAT NEED NO CLOUD Up to 16 switching times per device, by clock or by sunrise and sunset, optionally only on certain weekdays. SEE WHAT POWER COSTS Live consumption, plus the figures for today, yesterday and total. Temperature, humidity and other sensor readings sit right on the dashboard if you want them there. AND THE SMALL THINGS An encrypted backup of your setup, so a new phone is not an afternoon's work. A device lock against accidental switching. Dark mode. Help and FAQ inside the app. Runs on iPhone and iPad. PRICING WITHOUT SURPRISES Two devices and one group are free, permanently. Need more? Try Pro at no cost first, then decide for yourself: Buy it once, or subscribe monthly or yearly. QUESTIONS? Write to support@tasmotrol.com. A person answers.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Nous Smart at 4.7 against Tasmotrol's 3.9. Nous Smart also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Tasmotrol's advantage is review sentiment (62% vs 32%) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Nous Smart holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 15 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Nous Smart's written reviews are positive against 62% of Tasmotrol's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Nous Smart ships an update every 4 months, Tasmotrol every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 29, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
