tasmoty scans your Wi-Fi and shows you what is actually running on it — from a Tasmota switch to a home server to the inverter on your roof. FREE, IN FULL Tasmota devices are free forever: find them, switch them, restart them, open their web interface. Every other category is unlocked with a single €0.99 purchase — no subscription, nothing recurring. WHAT TASMOTY FINDS • Smart switches and plugs: Tasmota, Shelly, Tuya • Lights: Yeelight, WLED, Philips Hue • Home server services: Home Assistant, Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Nextcloud, Immich, Paperless, Vaultwarden, Pi-hole, AdGuard Home, Grafana, Portainer, Uptime Kuma, Gitea, Syncthing, Node-RED, InfluxDB, Nginx Proxy Manager, Zigbee2MQTT, Audiobookshelf, Stash • Media automation: Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Readarr, Prowlarr, Bazarr, Overseerr, Jellyseerr, SABnzbd, qBittorrent, Transmission, Deluge • NAS and servers: Synology, QNAP, Unraid, TrueNAS, Proxmox • Solar and energy: Fronius, SMA, SolarEdge, Enphase, Victron, OpenDTU, evcc • Smart home hubs: Homematic, deCONZ, Homebridge, ESPHome, openHAB, ioBroker, FHEM, Loxone, MQTT • Networking: FRITZ!Box, UniFi, OpenWrt • Plus Sonos, AirPlay, Chromecast, Denon/Marantz, Kodi, Navidrome, Scrypted, cameras, printers, 3D printers (OctoPrint) and EV chargers ORGANISED, NOT JUST A LIST OF IPS Everything found is grouped by category — home server, lights, NAS, energy, router and more. Categories collapse, and a filter narrows the list to what you care about right now. When one machine runs a dozen services, each service gets its own card instead of a single IP address. CONTROL IT DIRECTLY • Toggle Tasmota relays, including multi-channel devices • Switch Yeelight bulbs on and off • Restart Tasmota devices • Open any device's web interface with one tap STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No account, no sign-up, no cloud. tasmoty only talks to devices on your local network and keeps the list it finds on your iPhone. No ads, no tracking. The scan always runs in full, so even without the purchase you can see which categories are on your network and how many devices are in each. Note: tasmoty needs local network permission to search at all. Devices have to be reachable on the same Wi-Fi.
