Stability / Reliability Improvements

SetOption65

Tasmota has a "Fast Power Cycle Device Recovery" function. This is great if your power is 100% reliable & stable. If it's not, this is annoying as hell.

It basically "factory resets" the device when you have a power outage that's more than just an OFF...ON condition.

This function can be turned off by opening the console & sending SetOption65 1

How-Tos

Things that work accidentally

Apparently, you can get to the various UI pages from the captive portal WiFi setup page by opening a second browser window on your phone & typing their addresses directly. (i.e.: http://192.168.4.1/in or http://192.168.4.1/up etc...)

Control one TasmOTA from another:

(Adrian on the discord)

There are several ways to achieve that in Tasmota. the easiest is:

rule1 1
rule1 on power1#state do publish cmnd/otherswitch/power1 %value% endon

in both devices the switch will toggle the local relay and the relay action will toggle the remote one

This happens no matter HOW the toggle is initiated (physical, web, MQTT...).

Note: On this site, the standard format for TasmOTA MQTT is TasmOTA/%topic%/%prefix%/

so...

rule1 1
rule1 on power1#state do publish TasmOTA/D1-Mini-a/cmnd/power1 %value% endon

Switch TasmOTA Web UI to "Dark Mode"

cmnd/topic/webcolor {"WebColor":["#eaeaea","#252525","#4f4f4f","#000000","#dddddd","#65c115","#1f1f1f","#ff5661","#008000",
"#faffff","#1fa3ec","#0e70a4","#d43535","#931f1f","#47c266","#5aaf6f","#faffff","#999999",
"#eaeaea"]}

or... through MQTT:

topic: cmnd/topic/webcolor
payload: {"WebColor":"#eaeaea","#252525","#4f4f4f","#000000","#dddddd","#65c115","#1f1f1f",
"#ff5661","#008000","#faffff","#1fa3ec","#0e70a4","#d43535","#931f1f","#47c266","#5aaf6f",
"#faffff","#999999","#eaeaea"]}

Working example:

mosquitto_pub -h skynet -t TasmOTA/D1-Mini-a/cmnd/webcolor -m '{"WebColor":"#eaeaea",\
"#252525","#4f4f4f","#000000","#dddddd","#65c115","#1f1f1f","#ff5661","#008000","#faffff",\
"#1fa3ec","#0e70a4","#d43535","#931f1f","#47c266","#5aaf6f","#faffff","#999999","#eaeaea"]}'
