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.

Read full description

Shelly DevKit is an independent developer's companion for Shelly smart-home devices. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Allterco Robotics or the Shelly brand. Log in with your own Shelly Cloud account, on Shelly's own login page, and get a transparent, developer-grade view of your devices. Every tap shows the HTTP call behind it, and any action can become an Apple Shortcut that runs from Siri, Spotlight or the Shortcuts app while this app stays closed. DEVICES • Live inventory of your cloud-connected Gen1, Gen2+ and BLU devices, grouped by room • Switch, cover and light controls, sensor readings, and real-time status over WebSocket • "View API call" on any control shows the exact request and response API EXPLORER • Documented contracts for OAuth, inventory, control and real-time events, plus the Gen1 REST and Gen2+ RPC local APIs • Try it: run allow-listed calls against your own devices and inspect the raw response • History of your last 50 calls; copy any call as cURL, Swift or JavaScript with the token masked BUILD • Compose multi-step recipes: read a value, branch on it, wait, show a result or send a raw request • Test-run a recipe inside the app before exporting it • Export it as an App Intent: it appears in Shortcuts and Spotlight and can be run with a Siri phrase PRIVACY BY DESIGN • Your Shelly password is only ever typed into Shelly's page; the app keeps the resulting token in the iOS Keychain • No account with us, no backend of ours, no tracking • Analytics can be switched off in Settings FREE AND PRO Everything above is free, including composing and test-running recipes. One thing needs Shelly DevKit Pro, an auto-renewable subscription: exporting recipes to the Shortcuts app, with Siri phrases, Spotlight tiles and unlimited saved recipes. Pro is offered as a monthly or a yearly plan, and the price is shown in the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of that period. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions in your App Store account settings after purchase.
